Yes, it is a “Seller’s Market” in Boulder and most areas surrounding Boulder.  Buyers do not have too much time to be too choosy if they want to succeed at purchasing that new home.  If a Buyer delays, the home goes under contract that day, or shortly thereafter the Buyer’s first tour.

It is still important to remain objective, since in many cases, the Seller in this market is getting sloppy, and perhaps less interested in properly marketing their property.  No matter what, it is still important to stay focused on key decision areas of a home, since they may be very important considerations.

Phoebe Chongchua provides her guideline of 5 key areas Click Here http://www.realtor.com/home-finance/real-estate/buyers/five-key-areas-to-pay-attention-to-when-buying-a-house.aspx?source=web/   And, the list provided are pretty key areas of a home that must be considered, or your Inspector will be considering key components of a house for you.  Adding to the list under “Landscaping”, all good points, but what about the two cottonwood trees in the back yard, extremely difficult to access for trim or removal, and giant limbs extend over the neighbor’s roof line.  This “cottonwood” property my buyer passed on, went under contract the next day.
