There are Ghosts in Boulder CO




Boulder, CO is known for its fun and unusual assortment of activities from rock climbing to kayaking down Boulder Creek. One of the best times I have had in years is the Banjo Billy Ghost Tour. Who would have thought that we have so many residents from that have decided to call Boulder, CO home from the other side.



The tour starts at the Boulderado Hotel where we learn of ghost that occupies some third floor rooms after the death of two lovers. Guest and employees have reported seeing ghostly figures, heard voices, and flickering lights have been reported, as well as a general creepy feeling. There is also a ghostly woman in white who has been seen by a number of guests at the hotel.



We then moved onto the Boulder Theatre where we experienced George Paper Theatre. George was the manager of the theater and while repairing lights accidentally hung himself. George has been seen top hat and all still working in the theatre. People have reported sudden cold spots backstage, water turning on and off in the bathrooms, and other odd occurrences.



The tour ends at Macky Auditorium where A murder committed in the west tower back in 1966 has given rise to one of the longest standing Hauntings in Boulder, CO. Student for years have experienced music being played, cold spots and in some cases blood being seen on the floors and walls.



Boulder, CO has always been known for it’s hippies, crazy political makeup, Boulder CO Real Estate, Shakespeare Festival, The Pearl Street Mall, and now it has ghosts too.

Now that the Tax Credit is gone.... What is a Realtor supposed to do?

Now That The Tax Credit Has Expired, What do we do?


According to the First American Core logic report:



> During the first thirteen months of the Federal Housing Stimulus programs, home sales and home prices stabilized.



> It is likely that the collective set of federal programs, including the home buyer tax credit, Federal Reserve MBS purchases, and Federal foreclosure prevention programs (HAMP, HARP, HAFA), contributed to the housing market stabilization.


> Under a simulation scenario of extended Federal support, home prices are expected to increase yearover-year by more than 4 percent in February 2011. > Under a simulation scenario of Federal support ending in April 2010, home prices are expected to decline by more than 4 percent year-over-year in February 2011. The complete article can be read at:


www.loanperformance.com/infocenter/whitepaper/Tax_Credit_White_Paper_final_0410.pdf


In the next few weeks we will see articles and reporters latching on to reports similar to this one to paint broad strokes about the housing market as a whole. It will be our job to remind Buyers and Sellers that the real estate market does not work on a national basis. It is very local and in many instances can be hyper local by price range, neighborhood, even down to the street level. The graph on the article shows areas such as Boulder CO Real Estaterepresented by Denver, Aurora Broomfield actually increasing in value 4% to 5% in the year ahead. On the other side of the coin Atlanta, Georgia area is showing value should decrease by 4% to 5%. Neither scenario is bad, Boulder CO prices are on the rise and it may be a good time to start looking to sell. Atlanta, Ga looks like it should have some great opportunities for Buyers this year.


So what do we do? We do as we have always done, help our Buyers and Sellers make educated decisions to achieve thier goals.

Walk Score- Boulder CO Real Estate

A couple of years ago I had never heard of a "Walk Score." Today it has become a key ingredient in the home purchase for many Buyers of Boulder CO Real Estate.This seems to be a national trend as well as a local trend. I was just reading an article in the Daily Camera a local Boulder newspaper that said many middle class Buyers are moving to the cities from suburban areas. The new mantra is pick up the bike and leave the car behind.

Boulder, CO seems to be very well positioned for this new trend with great public transportation and a bike path system that is second to none. It truly is a city where a car is a luxury not a necessity. As Realtor we will want to keep this trending in mind as we help tomorrow's Buyers. What is the closest stores, bus stop. Be sure to publicize the Walk Score to today's home buyer it matters.

Boulder CO Real Estate Prices


Boulder CO Real Estate Average Price


Here is a quick snap shot of the Average Price Per Square Foot in Boulder CO Real Estate.





Boulder CO has been fairly resilient over the last two years when we look at the average price per a square foot. We are actually beginning to see a convergence of the for sale curve and the sold curve, which tends to indicate that Buyers and Sellers are beginning to share market expectations. The chart above represents the Boulder CO Real Estate market as a whole. The upper end market in Boulder is still running slower than the market as a whole.


With properties such as the Arete over flooding the market, the high end condo market in Boulder will take several years to recover and will continue to see downward pressure. On the flip side, mid level priced properties, such as the Peleton have seen a strong surge of activity in the first quarter.


Another area that is beginning to show renewed strength are new construction single family homes in Boulder CO. With the new building code restrictions current inventory is quickly becoming a very rare commodity. Home such as 1435 Sunset can no longer be built under the current code structure.
