What a 'Balanced' Housing Market Actually Measures
The buyer's-or-seller's label comes from months of supply, which measures how quickly today's listings would sell, not prices. Through August 2026, Boulder, Longmont and Loveland all tightened on supply and none of their year-to-date medians rose. Read speed off supply and price off the solds.
Boulder
South Boulder Creek Flood Project and Your Flood Insurance
The City says the South Boulder Creek flood project is under way and expects three to five years of work. The federal flood-insurance requirement lasts at least until FEMA revises the map after it's done, and the premium doesn't reset with the map. What a buyer controls now is the seller's policy.

Boulder County Home Prices: The Numbers We Won't Print
Your neighbour says the house behind you got $1.6M. A portal says yours is worth less than you think. The paper says the market is down. Three numbers, three different kinds of wrong, and four questions that tell you which is which.

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 year-to-date single-family median, that's a 73-thousand-dollar swing before you've hung a sign. Here's how a real list price actually gets built, and how to test it.
Berthoud
Berthoud Housing Market Report (Updated Monthly)
Berthoud runs 5.8 months of single-family supply, up from 4.2 a year ago, the one corridor town that loosened. Its month median went $722,500 in June, $590,000 in July, $650,000 in August, on under 30 sales each: a construction-mix artifact, not a price.
Loveland
Loveland Housing Market Report (Updated Monthly)
Loveland's single-family supply fell from 3.9 months to 3.0 in a year, and its median went nowhere: $528,750 year to date, against $530,000 a year earlier. Tightness and price are different variables, and Loveland shows it plainly. Why the move-up band above the median behaves differently again.

Northern Front Range Housing Market: The Late-2026 Read
Longmont's month median was up 5.2% on the year in July and down 4.4% in August, while the year to date sat at −2.4% both times. Same town, two releases, opposite directions. That is the whole problem with a headline median. Here is what the northern Front Range actually did.
Longmont
Longmont Housing Market Report (Updated Monthly)
Longmont runs 2.8 months of supply against Boulder's 4.2, and its homes go under contract about two weeks faster year to date, 57 days against 72. Yet the year-to-date median is down 2.4%, to $610,000. Both are true at once, and together they price a move-up trade.

What $1M–$1.5M Buys Across the Boulder Corridor
Across the corridor, $1M–$1.5M buys the location in Boulder and a lot more house north of it. But the newer Loveland, Berthoud, and SW-Longmont subdivisions move-up buyers target sit in metro tax districts that can add most of another base bill on top. Check the tax line before you bank the savings.
