With one quarter of 2010 behind us, how is our current Boulder real estate market? The statistics give us some reason for optimism. The number of homes sold in Boulder and most areas of Boulder County is up in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the homes sold in first quarter of 2009. The only area where the number of homes sold declined was Longmont and the number there is very similar to the same period last year.
Prices show a little less clear trend. Several areas show a modest increase in average price of homes sold – City of Boulder, Louisville, Longmont and in the mountains. The other areas show some modest decline in the average price of homes sold.
Overall, Boulder County home sales in all areas have shown improvement in some statistic – improved price, more homes sold or both.
The chart below shows the actual number of homes sold and average price – green means the number shows improvement.
