The finishing touches on the development of one of the last open lots on East Pearl are taking place. The former Goodyear Tire location has been transformed into high end lofts and commercial space.
Topo Ranch an
eclectic casual mens and womens clothing store has opened. Next door you can find the new Real Baby clothing and toy store and the women’s clothing store Barbara&Company.
This is a a real nice addition to the East end retail district.
The residential units have sold well. Out of the 24 units 10 have sold and 4 more are under contract.
Statistical information is from the IRES MLS System.

The New York Times December 18, 2009 has a great positive article on Boulder Real Estate. Our anti growth efforts and abundant Open space are mentioned as key factors that make Boulder desirable.

Here are the stats taken from Iris MLS data. These stats Show sales in 2008 vs 2009. The end of the year, 2009, has shown an upscale in property vs property that sold in 2008. The list below is property that sold in Boulder Colorado within a 7 mile radius of downtown.
· Jan 2008= 64 2009= 39
· Feb 2008= 73 2009= 67
· March 2008= 123 2009= 87
· April 2008= 174 2009= 100

· Oct 2008= 98 2009=98
· Nov 2008= 59 2009= 122

As you can see sales have been dropping in the past two years. However there is light at the end. The las two months of 2009 are up since 2007 and I do feel we will see more improvments through out 2010. This is the year of recovery.
