Louisville Real Estate Market Update July 2010
Louisville is still a top-rated community. Single family homes are not selling as quickly in the community, but market prices are hanging in there, as compared to some other parts of Boulder County. Money magazine didn’t include Louisville as one of their top picks this year, but the criteria changed.
Another way to get the inside track of this community, or other areas and businesses is to take a look at my neighborhood profiles, and Boulder business profiles, here on my site.
They’re short videos that give you a personal inside view on what our area is all about.
I’m still adamant that you need to get out and experience the neighborhood where you are considering to move into.
Go drive around at different times a day, explore the neighborhoods, … then maybe it’s time to look at houses, and study the data.

Cool Boulder Post Run Fuel Tip
Here’s one for those of you who like running, biking etc… from one of the many emails I get from Active Runner, a recipe and some handy info about a post run snack that may be just the ticket for these warm late-summer days.
Especially if you’re one who likes to head out in the heat of the afternoon. Not my preference (I’d rather run in the rain, in the morning, with a temp about 55 degrees, but hey, that’s just me).

Boulder Real Estate Market Update July 2010
Okay, so another month has passed and it’s time to report in on the basic statistics for sold homes in Boulder, and Boulder Neighborhoods.
If you like to follow along and learn more about Boulder home sales and Boulder neighborhood information, this is the place.
I’ve reviewed the numbers for you for July 2010, and am reporting it all for you.
Here’s the latest data to show you what’s happened in the last calendar month.
Fewer Colorado Foreclosures, Three Straight Quarters
For the last three quarters, the foreclosure rate in Colorado has dropped.
The Colorado Division of Housing reports that beginning with the last quarter in 2009, continuing through the first quarter, and into the second calendar quarter of 2010, the foreclosure rate in Colorado has continued to decline.
Foreclosures were down over 15% in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Along with that optimistic statistic, the sale of foreclosed homes (REO’s or bank-owned homes) rose almost 18% during the second quarter of 2010, compared to the Q2 2009 stats.
These are great numbers, and it’s exactly what we want to see, both a decrease in foreclosures entering the market, and an increase in the sale of bank-0wned homes. This means the market is continuing to stabilize, and should give us all a more optimistic outlook on the Colorado housing market.
