The strongest offer for your needs is not automatically the highest price. When an offer arrives, let's examine its requirements and timing alongside the amount before you decide how to respond.
The September 2026 market data cover Boulder single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments. The reported sold-to-list-price percentage was 97.4%. The median sold price was $1,055,000. There were 121 sold listings during September 2026.
The reported sales measures do not establish the financing strength or inspection requirements of an offer you receive. I suggest judging each proposal against your priorities rather than expecting it to match a townwide result. A higher price deserves careful consideration alongside requirements that could affect whether the transaction proceeds as agreed.
Identify your priorities for price and timing before deciding which terms deserve a counteroffer. Review financing documentation, the deposit included with the offer and inspection requirements with me to clarify what is proposed. Confirm the closing timeline with the professionals handling the transaction instead of assuming the proposed date is workable.
