Setting your asking price starts with recent sales of similar homes, not choosing a convenient townwide number. I'll help you separate useful comparisons from differences that make another property's price a poor guide.
For Boulder single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the September 2026 median sold price was $1,055,000. The median list price among active listings was $998,000. The reported sold-to-list price ratio was 97.4%. Comparing the medians for active listings and sold homes does not establish a negotiated discount.
Your home's condition, size and features deserve attention before we settle on a starting price. Starting with an ambitious asking price needs a reason grounded in similar homes, rather than a desired financial result. The reported sold-to-list percentage cannot predict the terms you will receive.
Gather information about improvements and the home's condition so we can review differences against recent sales. Review homes listed for sale separately to understand the alternatives a prospective buyer might consider. Decide what evidence would justify revisiting the asking price before putting the home on the market.
