Flatirons
Greetings! 
The summer selling season is well underway. Here's a quick market overview:
Excellent Opportunities for Home Buyers & Investors    
The current market offers significant buying opportunities. The fixed interest rate is very low at about 4.75%, and I'm seeing many very good buys on the market right now. I'm advising potential buyers -- especially those of you who have toured available homes in your price range previously -- to go out again and see the comparative value first hand. Sellers who understand the market are offering a better house (or condo or loft or land) for the money.
 
Boulder County is a particularly healthy and resilient real estate market. Buyers who have taken advantage of favorable conditions -- rarely as good as they are right now -- have been rewarded. If you're interested in exploring the opportunities, give me a call.

Rainy Day Thoughtsflood
Heavy rains in Boulder last week and the washed out Red Lion bridge reminded me that Boulder County has the highest flash flood risk in the state. 
  • If you are in a 100-year floodplain you have a 1 percent chance of being flooded in any given year.
  • It only takes 3 inches of rain over a few hours to trigger a 100-year flood.
  • Your home and place of work may be in the floodplain. Check Boulder's floodplain map to determine if you live or work in a floodplain. If you're in the floodplain, make sure your insurance is adequate and up to date.
