Market Insight Boulder County: Mountain Properties Heating Up
Mother Nature decided to have spring-like weather for us early this year and the Real Estate market decided to follow her lead with an extremely strong January.

Single family home inventory experienced a slight uptick of 3.7% with sales coming in at 5.4% higher. The median sales price in Boulder County for January increased 24.9% when compared to January 2016.
Solar powered energy is a popular source of clean energy that many homeowners are beginning to explore. But does solar increase or decrease the value of your home? The answer: it depends. There are a few key factors that can determine whether a solar power system will increase or decrease the home you are trying to buy or sell.
Buying vs Leasing
Solar is not cheap. Homeowners have the choice of purchasing a system outright or entering into a leasing contract. If you choose to buy a system it can set you back $12,000-$20,000 for which you may not see a full ROI once you sell the home. Another option is to lease a system. However, typical contracts will lock you in for up to 15 years, making the transfer to a new homeowner tricky.

Pets of the Month: Bernadette & Frosty
Bernadette is an absolute gem! Intelligent and athletic, Bernadette would make a fantastic companion for an active guardian who can engage her mind and body with plenty of playtime and training. Bernadette is oh so sweet and will climb right into your lap to snuggle and lick your face. This cutie has spent some time in foster homes and has done well with cats and other dogs. |
Hi, my name is Frosty! I am a beautiful lady looking for my very own forever home. I am as sweet as can be, and love making new friends. I love to play, specially when toys are involved! I can’t wait to meet my new best friend, and I hope they love to play just as much as I do. I may be most comfortable in a home with older kids. |
