Boulder County Inventory 2012 vs. 2011

Have you ever heard the saying, a lot can change in a year? Well, it is definitely true in real estate, as well as other aspects of life. The Boulder Area Realtor Association (BARA) put together this data on available Boulder County inventory. The chart below shows August of 2011 as compared to August of 2012. Look at Lafayette. Inventory is down this year 60%.

The low inventory is helping prices rise and frustrating buyers. Just the other night a client said to me. So, are we missing the homes in South Boulder, and my response was…no, we’re seeing everything there is (there just isn’t much).

It could be the time to put your home on the market if you’ve thought about upsizing, downsizing or just switching things up.
