CITY OF BOULDER
ALL PRICE POINTS
Closed sales rose +14.4% YoY to 143, and homes under contract climbed +11.3% to 118. Active inventory reached 705 homes (+22.4% YoY), the highest July level in our ten-year dataset. Nationally, active inventory followed the same path, up +20.8% YoY.
LUXURY: $2M-$5M
The $2M-$5M market remained competitive and fast-paced. Average days on market was 55, which is notably faster than the 77‑day pace for homes under $2M. Demand held firm with homes under contract up +13% YoY and closed sales up +11.8% YoY. Inventory edged to 87 homes (+4.8% YoY), while new listings dropped to 29 (−56.7% decline from May’s peak of 67). In Boulder County, inventory in this tier rose from 191 to 209 (+9.4% YoY) and days on market is at 54, which is the lowest since May 2022, signaling fast movement across the County, in addition to the city.
ULTRA LUXURY: $5M+
The top of the market was quiet in July, with no ultra-luxury homes going under contract in either Boulder or Boulder County - the first time since April 2024. Three new properties listed, which is down from five in July 2024, and well below the 17 we had in April. Boulder holds 84% of the ultra-luxury inventory in Boulder County. And for the two sales that did occur, the average DOM fell to 49 days. This is the fastest pace since September 2023 and shows us that select, well-positioned properties can still move quickly.
LOUISVILLE
ALL PRICE POINTS
Louisville posted one of the strongest surges in activity across the County in July. Homes under contract jumped 82% year over year and closed sales rose 12%, pushing total dollar volume up 34% to more than $26M. Inventory expanded to 97 homes for sale (up from 74 last year), and while average days on market increased to 63 days, we're seeing well-priced and well-presented homes still moving.
LAFAYETTE
ALL PRICE POINTS
The Lafayette market remained steady compared to the sharper swings seen in nearby cities. Closed sales climbed 31% year over year, and months supply held at a balanced 3.1—lower than Louisville’s 3.9 and well below Boulder’s 5.7. This points to a market that is more competitive for buyers, with demand keeping pace with available inventory. Inventory rose modestly to 110 homes for sale, while average days on market increased slightly to 52 days. The combination of steady months supply and consistent sales activity underscores Lafayette’s healthy, stable market environment.
