Arvada’s Meadowglen neighborhood currently has only 3 homes for sale, ranging in price from $287,500 - $360,000. None of them are a foreclosure or short sale. These three homes have been on the market since last July and August.

There are no Meadowglen homes currently under contract. 

Four homes sold in Meadowglen in the past six months. Their selling prices were from a low of $187,000 to $279,900. None of them were a foreclosure or short sale.

Here's my thoughts on Meadowglen:

At first glance, there appears to be only a 2 month absorption rate in Meadowglen. (That means if no more homes came on the market, the current inventory would sell in two months.) That makes Meadowglen a seller's market. However, Meadowglen is in the middle of a densely populated area, with lots of other homes to choose from. So home sellers in Meadowglen still need to be sensitive to pricing their home right if they expect it to sell in a timely fashion.

And the evidence of that fact is clearer here than most. As I said above, the three homes on the market have been sitting there for about six months. Yet, the homes that have sold in that same six months went under contract in only 2, 4, 0 and 34 days. The average time from listing to being under contract (days on market) for Meadowglen sales is only 10 days. Still, we can see that homes can sit unsold a long time even in this popular neighborhood if not priced properly.

Meadowglen continues to be a popular Arvada neighborhood, due to their community pool and proximity to the lake, schools, trails, shopping, restaurants, and recreation. Homes here tend to have smaller lots than some of the surrounding neighborhoods, but Meadowglen homes are about ten years newer too. Homes situated nearer to the busy 80th Avenue will sell for less than others, of course, but this is a lovely 'pocket' neighborhood.

If you want to see any of the available homes in Meadowglen or anywhere in Arvada or the surrounding area between Denver and Boulder, please give me a call. To list your home, please let me know you're thinking about selling asap - I take only a limited number of clients at a time.

Meadowglen is snuggled up against Pomona Lake to the south, and 88th Ave. to the north, with Club Crest and Pomona on its west and east border.  That puts it at Arvada's northern border, about in the east-west center. 

People like Meadowglen because of the lake, tennis courts, community pool, and heavily-treed, winding streets. Meadowglen has the feel of an out-of-the-way neighborhood, but it's near grocery stores, trails, a national wildlife refuge, bus route, bike paths, and several parks.

There is a homeowner's association, which keeps the community areas pristine and enforces the bylaws. One of the negatives about life in Meadowglen is that many people feel the homeowner's association is overbearing*.

The homes in this neighborhood were built in the late 1970s to early 1980s, which makes them five to ten years newer than the nearby communities of Pomona Lakes and Lake Arbor.  Right now, there are only two homes for sale in Meadowglen, priced at $279,000 and $349,000. There are none currently under contract. Four have sold in the past year, ranging from $210,000 to $265,000.

Meadowglen kids attend Weber Elementary , Moore Middle School, and Pomona High School.

*In Colorado, home buyers have the right to inspect HOA documents and financial records, and can terminate a contract to buy based on what they find, at their sole discretion.
