Worth taking note: inventory is down, number of sales and average sales price are up, average days on the market is down. Combined...... it is a "Perfect storm" for home owners to be selling their homes. And... Buyer's this would be a good time to take advantage of Lafayette's home prices before they go up further. Lafayette is an affordable alternative to Boulder and Lousiville with so much to offer.

Where can I find a great home that under 350k?

Where can I find a great home that under 350k? Why should I pay full asking price?… After all the market from what they are stating on the news the market is bad!

As we all know there is no telling when to actually understand the economy, especially when the sources that are stating the facts are stating the national opinion. Most people can't help but justify the Colorado market. The only thought that comes to mind is how prosperous Colorado really is.

Now the argument of spending money wisely can be taken into many terms. When it comes to real-estate many can confidently say the Colorado market is very active and homes priced accordingly are selling like hot cakes. Just recently Colorado had a spike in the Boulder County Area. Homes located near Lafayette priced under 350k are selling less than 30 days. The only down fall with the market being so proactive is the inventory is getting to the pot scrubbing stages.

Not a bad problem to have... As one of the many knowledgeable realtors for the Boulder county area it’s easy for us to say the real-estate market is improving the ecumenical cycle by waves. Waves defined as continues push from city to city. A good example is the transition from Louisville to Lafayette Colorado. Going back 5 years Louisville and Lafayette were two communities with different aspects with a lot of people afraid exploring waters past Louisville. As the saying goes “time has made this bitter fruit sweet”.

The real-estate market has flourished since the past 8 months and impossible is now possible. My latest exploration has leaded me to a great community tucked away way in Lafayette. Yes I said it “ Lafayette "

For those of you that are first time home buyers looking to make a great financial investment in a great affordable community look no further a home in Indian Peaks. Many buyers nowadays are attracted to suburbs adjacent to the mountains or better known as golf course communities; but as we all know having a life style with those amenities can get pricy and a bit expensive for those that are looking for a comfortable yet affordable lifestyle. As a consumer I found that there are hidden communities that are on an "up - and rise" with many if not all amenities that we look for today's life style.

Homes in Indian Peaks not only deliver the comfortable life style but it gives much more for a bargain of a cost compared to its surrounding cities. Now the next big concern is commuting. A great example when it comes to commuting is the idea of sitting in traffic. Many of us work close to Denver / down town. So what’s the damage? Believe it if you will Denver commute is no longer then 25 minutes on an average day. Wait it gets better! Boulder is even closer world record time record of 10-15 minutes! A home in Indian Peaks sits on a prime location where commute is no hassle. There are many easy access points to any destination which makes it easy for those who have to commute to all sides of town. Bottom line is that Homes in Indian Peaks is the better way to go for those that are looking for value, amenities, and a good financial investment.
