Boulder Valley Economic Snapshot - November '11

The Boulder County real estate market has remained relatively stable for the past three years. Sales of single family homes and attached units have been on equal footing. Home values have trended-up in some price ranges (mostly at the entry level), but experienced a downward shift in others (homes priced over a million). As 2011 winds to a close, it appears this year will continue a similar pattern to 2009 and 2010. Sales activity will be down slightly compared to those two years (about 6%), with single family home sales settling around 2,600 units. That would compare with 2,612 single family homes sold in 2010 and 2,536 in 2009. Those numbers are substantially lower than the peak year of 2005 when 4,193 single family homes sold.
