A major shift in the real estate landscape The real estate industry is changing quickly, and one of the biggest signals yet came on April 27, 2026: The Real Brokerage Inc. announced a definitive agreement to acquire RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., the parent company of RE/MAX. The proposed transaction would

Expired Listings Are Surging — Here’s What Sellers Are Doing Wrong More Boulder sellers are running into a frustrating reality: the market is not bailing out weak strategies anymore. Boulder County is no longer behaving like a market where almost everything sells quickly just for showing up. Redfin’

More remote workers are choosing Boulder not as a temporary landing spot, but as a long-term home base. That shift makes sense. When your job is no longer tied to a downtown office in San Francisco, Seattle, New York, or Austin, the question changes. Instead of asking where you have to live, you sta

Green Homes Are Selling Faster in Boulder — Here’s Why In Boulder, green features are no longer a side note. They are moving closer to the center of how buyers compare homes. The biggest reason is policy. The City of Boulder’s 2024 energy code requires new construction, additions, and major alterati

Is Boulder’s real estate market going to crash? The honest answer is: a crash looks unlikely, but a reset is already happening. Boulder’s latest city data from Redfin shows a median sale price of $807,000 in February 2026, down 21.9% year over year, with homes selling in about 50 days. Boulder Count

A long-vacant Boulder site is finally getting a new chapter. Reports are that Buff House, a new upscale sports bar, is set to open at 2860 Arapahoe Ave., the former Harpo’s and Ralphie’s location just off 28th Street. The concept is being led by chef Oscar Padilla and his wife, Norma, and the space

Colorado’s proposed new passenger rail line now has a name: Colorado Connector, or CoCo. State officials say the starter service from Fort Collins to Denver is currently estimated to cost $333 million to build, with about $30 million a year in operating costs. Axios reports the route would include s

Boulder is expensive because it offers something a lot of places cannot: a small, highly livable city with major outdoor access, strong identity, and limited room to grow. That combination sounds simple, but in real estate terms, it is powerful. You have demand from buyers who want the Boulder lifes

One of the biggest reasons people love moving to Boulder is simple: you can finish coffee, get in the car, and be on a world-class trail not long after. Some of these are true quick escapes. A couple are full-day commitments. But all seven reinforce the same point: Boulder real estate is not just ab

The JonBenét Ramsey house at 749 15th St. in Boulder is still not sold. After returning to the market in late 2022, taking price cuts, and then being pulled from the market in 2024, the property still shows as off-market / not for sale on major real estate sites. That alone makes it one of the most

Probate real estate usually costs more to carry than families expect. Not because probate is always dramatic. Often, it is not. But when a home sits in an estate, costs start stacking up from several directions at once: court fees, attorney fees, maintenance, insurance, mortgage payments, utilities,

A mortgage does not disappear when the owner dies. That is usually the first thing heirs, executors, and families need to hear. If there is still a loan on the property, the payment issue does not pause just because the home is in probate. The CFPB says successor homeowners need to make sure mortgag

One of the biggest misunderstandings in probate real estate is this: the closest family member does not automatically have the right to sell the home. In many cases, the person with authority is the personal representative of the estate. Colorado probate instructions define the personal representati

If you are selling a home after someone passes away, one of the first questions is whether you are dealing with a probate sale or a trust sale. From the outside, they can look similar. It is still a home. It still needs pricing, prep, marketing, and a buyer. But behind the scenes, the process can fe

Yes, in many cases, you can sell a house during probate. The bigger question is usually not whether the home can be sold, but who has the authority to sell it, when that authority starts, and how the timing fits the Boulder real estate market. For Boulder families, this matters because probate real

Boulder is not waiting until 2027 to feel like a film city  There is a tendency to talk about Sundance as if Boulder's film identity starts the day the festival arrives. That misses what is already happening on the ground. The Boulder International Film Festival, better known as BIFF, is one of the

Two great Colorado cities - two very different daily experiences  If you are deciding between Boulder and Denver, you are not really choosing between a good option and a bad one. You are choosing between two very different versions of Colorado living.  Denver gives you scale. More neighborhoods, mor

Why this forum mattered more than a typical conference panel  The 2026 CU Real Estate Forum gave Boulder something valuable: an early market-level conversation about what Sundance could mean before the festival actually arrives. That matters because big events often create plenty of noise and not en

What this license really is - and why it matters  As Sundance prepares to land in Boulder, one of the biggest real estate questions is not about movie tickets. It is about lodging. Specifically, how homeowners and property owners can legally participate when demand for short stays spikes.  Boulder's

The dates are set, and Boulder is officially on the clock  The Sundance Film Festival will make its first Colorado appearance in Boulder from January 21 through January 31, 2027. For anyone watching Boulder real estate, that matters for more than headlines. A global cultural event of this size chang
