This is an important time of year for the Boulder real estate market. March through June are typically the most active months in our area. March as a decent month but not strong enough to give me a clear picture for the spring. The picture is becoming a bit more clear and April was a good month for real estate in Boulder County. Sales were up 6.6% compared to last year. The activity in the market was steady and there was a surge of new listings at the end of the month. It will be interesting if there are enough buyers to absorb those listings before the market starts to slow again during the summer.
The first chart below shows the number of closed sales on a monthly basis in Boulder County. April was the first month since last August where current year sales exceeded last years sales.
The first chart below shows a large influx of new listings in late April. The second chart shows the total active inventory compared to past months.
