This beautiful home in the Arapahoe Meadows subdivision in Lafayette is SOLD! This highly desirable neighborhood features large lots (each is at least 1/4 acre) and its own neighborhood park.

lafayette: Boulder County Home Values
- 03/09/09 04:47 PM
With so much negative news on our economy and horror stories about declining home values, I've had a number of clients, friends and family members ask me recently about their home values. They all ask pretty much the same question: "how much less is my home worth now than it was last year." While the single-family median sales prices have declined in Boulder County, the declines are much less than the national average of 9.8%. Longmont experienced the largest decline down to $219,900 (8.4%). Boulder's median sales price fell to $538,000 (2.3%) and Lafayette was down to $311,500 (2.3%). Existing home sells fell 14.5% in Boulder … (0 comments)

lafayette: Couldn't Believe My Eyes!
- 01/03/09 09:42 AM
While I was out previewing houses today, I happened to drive down main street in Lafayette, CO. When I saw this gas sign, I had to take a double take....... gas at $1.35/gallon! No doubt there are other states (probably even elsewhere in Colorado) where gas is even less expensive, but I can't remember seeing gas priced this low for a loooooooooong time. I know we can't get used to it being this low for too long. It is nice though, to see at least one thing we use regularly decline in price rather than increase like so many other things.
I make a point … (6 comments)
