Importantly, we can close any type of real estate transaction from commercial deals to condos.

The Boulder area offers something for everyone. For those of you not from or familiar with the area, let's begin by taking a look at the city of Boulder. Boulder is the largest city in the county, and certainly the densest as it's nearly 95,000 residents occupy only 25.4 square miles. Boulder is only 25 miles NW of Denver, but ask any local and you might here "it's farther out there than that". Truth be told, while Boulder certainly has a quirky charm, its reputation exceeds the reality.

With so amenities, and so many sunny days to enjoy them, Boulder has become a great place to live no matter what walk of life you come from. From the famed Chautauqua Park at the base of the iconic Flatirons to Boulder Creek, which runs through the University of Colorado, Boulder's beauty is everywhere…and quite literally when you consider the city is surrounded by over 36,000 acres of public open space. When you feel like staying local, you can cruise the historic Pearl Street Mall downtown or take in the world class Farmer's Market; and when you're up for a stretch, Rocky Mountain National Park is less than an hour away.

OK, so Boulder is a great place to live, but everyone else knows that and there is a limited housing stock. As a result, Boulder real estate is very expensive. Even as it appears the worst of the housing crisis is behind us, the median price of a single-family home in Boulder was $530,000 last quarter…well above the $235,000 price found in the Denver area.

The other factor that will test your resolve and flexibility as you search for a home in Boulder is the nature of the housing stock. On average, Boulder homes are older and smaller than what you might expect. This is a function of many things including: costs, density, local regulation, culture, and demographics. You'll likely find a home that works for you, but it may take some time.

If the costs and housing stock in Boulder becomes an issue for you, there are plenty of alternatives. Many people consider the Superior-Louisville-Lafayette corridor…which puts you closer to Denver, but you're still looking at a median price in the upper three hundreds there. If cost is your biggest factor, consider Longmont, which recently has a median price of $225,000.
