The net sheet comes first.

In the order the decision imposes: what you will actually net, what price the comps support, what you are obliged to disclose, and what to do when it does not sell. The net sheet comes before the list price, not after.

Selling a Home in a Metro District in Colorado

In a Colorado metro district, the number that kills your sale is your buyer's debt-to-income ratio, not your price. Since August 6, 2025, resale sellers in post-2000 districts owe a pre-contract disclosure. Use it as a filter, and spend concession dollars on a permanent buydown, not a price cut.

How to Price Your Home to Sell in Boulder

By Zillow's own accuracy table, half of Colorado's off-market estimates miss by more than 5.6 percent. On Boulder's July single-family median, that's a 71-thousand-dollar swing before you've hung a sign. Here's how a real list price actually gets built, and how to test it.

Relisting a Boulder Home: Your Contract, Not the Clock

Sellers relist to reset a clock. The IRES rulebook has no days-on-market provision to reset, and the buyers whose opinion sets your price, the ones working with an agent, can still pull the whole history. What a relist actually changes is your listing contract and your price.

Selling a Home You Have Owned for Decades in Colorado

On a long-held Colorado home the basis is rarely what anyone on the deed assumes. Colorado is not a community-property state, so on a first death only the decedent's interest takes the date-of-death value and a surviving co-owner's interest keeps its original cost. Title decides which is which.

Seller Concessions vs a Price Reduction in Colorado

A concession and a payment to the buyer's brokerage are two separate lines on the Colorado contract, and the form says each is in addition to the other. A price reduction is a third thing again, and the only one of the three that no lender can touch.

Seller Net Proceeds in Colorado: What You Actually Net

Your seller net proceeds in Colorado are your sale price minus your loan payoff, roughly 7-9% in selling costs, prorated taxes and HOA dues, any concessions, and possible capital-gains tax. The gap between price and check is often tens of thousands, so build an honest net sheet before you list.

Capital Gains on a Colorado Home Sale: Know Your Basis

A married couple who meets the tests can exclude up to $500,000 of gain on a home sale, and a single filer $250,000. Colorado taxes whatever is left as ordinary income, with no home-sale break of its own. On a long-held Boulder home, that ceiling is closer than most owners think.
