Boulder County Buzz - February 2020

Boulder County Buzz - February 2020

It's February and love has been buzzing in the air here in Boulder County. I picked a bad week to stop eating Ghirardelli chocolate and Dunkin’ Donuts, but I’ll be fine this Valentine's season.

The market here in BoCo has come in with some fizz and pop. My phone is ringing and the email inbox notification bleep is constant - it’s that time of year. Tried and true, just after the Super Bowl each year, activity starts to buzz and the market works its way into the usual springtime frenzy, and we still have a month of winter. But I'll take it. I’m ready. Bring it on!

Meanwhile, read about the ups and downs in the national housing market in an article from The Denver Post. Also, 5280 Magazine gives a breakdown of how monthly expenses in 2019 could look for you. And The Daily Camera debates whether or not the land sale by Shining Mountain Waldorf School should be used for affordable housing in Boulder.

Let's connect soon to discuss your real estate goals for 2019. And don’t forget I’m never too busy for your referrals.

OMG #31?? YEP! Please tune in to Part 31 From the Trail to hear what old and new friends share what they’re grateful for - it’s awesome!

This month I’m featuring another non-profit program, The Water Wheel foundation, which mainly uses live music events, like the Phish from Vermont, to fundraise for local, non-profit organizations from a large sphere of needs including social services, primarily those benefitting women and children; environmental, with a focus on clean water and land conservation with public access; as well as food banks and urban gardening for example. Please see how important this program is and consider giving today!

Thank you for your business and thank you for tuning in,

FROM THE TRAIL - PART 35

"I guess I'm just an obstacle. A thing to overcome. If I could sneek around myself. Again I'll know I've won. The moment seems to hang and float. Before me with no end, 'till I'm released, awaken beast. I'm on the road again..."

Part 34 FTT! What are you grateful for? 80's music? I like the nightlife baby. And moving in stereo!!

Boulder County Buzz - August 2019

This summer has been awesome! A balance of lots of work and fun trips Montana, Ohio, Maine and Philly to see family and friends and Phish and camping with Krissy and the kids! It’s always such a busy time, with so many festivals and events. And there's never an end to fun things to do in Boulder County! As summer starts to wind down, with kids going back to school, and pool season coming to an end... we're so close to enjoying the cool relief of fall and an end-of-summer party at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. I hope you've made lots of great summer memories in 2019 with your friends and family. I can't wait for a beautiful fall that's coming up fast!

Wishing You and Your Family a Happy Holiday Season!

Dear friends and family, I want to wish you a Happy Holiday season and a Happy New Year. What a year it has been and 2018 will be my best year in the real estate business. I have so much to be grateful for and I’m glad so many of you were a part of my year. I have so much gratitude for you all for looking out for me and putting my name out to family and friends.

There are many things from 2018 that I will carry into 2019, and some things I will leave behind. It is the time for yearly projections of what's to come in our real estate market in 2019. As we transition into the new year I reflect on the year we've had. Pundits profess that the market may balance out next year, but we'll have to wait and see what really happens. I’m positive it will be a strong year and I already have many buyers and sellers preparing for a transition in 2019. Also, don't miss the fun housing design trend article with inspirational ideas for updating your home in the next year.

Now, please fly with me to my featured listing this month at 625 University Ave. in Boulder, a turn of the century cottage in west Boulder with awesome potential and an amazing lot.

I hope you enjoy your time with loved ones this holiday season. And try to reach out to those you know who may be alone to share good cheer. I appreciate your continued business and referrals. Warmly, HATCH

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Loved Ones!

And here we are, the 2nd week of November already! The days are short and the early snow in Boulder County sticks to the shadows cast. As we look forward to time with family and friends, I'd like to share this month’s Buzz with you. News about a few key things happening with our real estate market. The articles this month discuss the complex situation in Boulder County with home prices going up, and the impact that has on our cities. This relates to the rental market here as well, and how the new construction in town has had an impact. The market is a little bit quieter right now but my business is still in a steady mode, mostly with buyers right now. 2018 will close out as the best prodiciton year in 14 years for me. If you have real estate plans for 2019 let’s connect today to discuss the best strategy for your success. 

This month I’m featuring another community non-profit program, Project Angel Heart, whose volunteers deliver medically tailored meals to Coloradans living with life-threatening illnesses. Please find time to give to Project Angel Heart this holiday season. We did!

September Brings Interesting News and More

Hi friends and family. Well, the evenings are getting cooler and the kids are deep into school, which means September is upon us. This seasonal transition brings changes in our real estate market and we need to modify how we price homes for our sellers and make offers for our buyers. And will changing interest rates effect sales in our area? Read the featured articles below for more info.

It’s been a big year so far for Real Estate in Boulder County with median sales prices for single family homes up 7% over last year, and it will be exciting to see how this fall market and the fourth quarter will unfold.
