The Boulder housing market is still leaning slightly in favor of sellers, but buyers have more breathing room than in recent years. The median list price sits at $1.79M though many of the newest listings are coming on at lower price points around $1.27M. Homes are averaging about 131 days on the market, with a median of 91 days, showing that properties are taking longer to sell and giving buyers more time to make decisions. About 39% of listings have had price reductions, and inventory has climbed to 365 active homes, which means more options to choose from. At the same time, rental prices remain high with a median of $3,295, reflecting Boulder’s continued demand and strong lifestyle appeal. For sellers, this means pricing strategically is key to attracting buyers, and for buyers, it’s an opportunity to negotiate and take the time to find the right fit.
