Longmont Housing Market Report (Updated Monthly)
Longmont single-family runs 2.6 months of supply against Boulder's 4.7, so the corridor is the tighter market, not the looser one. And the median is still down about 4.8% year to date. Both are true at once, and together they change how a move-up trade has to be financed.
