Buyers Drive Demand as Sellers Hesitate
"Boulder County finds itself in a unique position this April. Buyers are continuing to put more homes under contract than they did both month-over-month and year-over-year. However, average prices are currently lower than they were a year ago for both attached and detached housing.
Because of this pricing shift, sellers are not coming to the market as quickly or as often as they did in 2025. This cautious seller behavior is keeping inventory levels lower than they were at this time last year, creating a tighter market even as buyer demand."

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
What This Means for You
Message for Buyers
"You have an opportunity to secure homes at lower average prices than last year, especially in the condo and townhome sector. However, you must be prepared to move quickly-it takes fewer showings to put a home under contract now than it did in March."
Message for Sellers
"While inventory is down 8.6% from last year, the market is moving incredibly fast. Average days on market dropped to just 39 days, and sellers are receiving nearly 99% of their asking price. If you've been hesitant to list, keep in mind that buyer demand is actually higher than last April."
LOOKING AHEAD:
"Boulder County is witnessing a strong spring acceleration. The decrease in days on market and the rise in pending sales indicate that the buyers who are active are highly decisive. As seller activity remains below 2025 levels, the scarcity of new options will likely continue to drive competition for well-positioned homes."
