As I search for homes throughout Boulder County I’m finding many areas and price ranges that have very few (like none) homes available that are not already under contract. I also notice that at some price the inventory grows and the market is more available. Here is some research that may help you understand the market. The quick answer is that there are very few choices in the lower price ranges and more opportunity in the higher price ranges.
