Boulder’s Luxury Smoke and Mirrors, Price Cuts & Buyer Risk | Podcast #125

High-end Boulder buyers are often shown the lifestyle without being fully warned about the risks. We discuss school closures, vacancy taxes, Sundance, development restrictions, changing neighborhood density, air quality, and why luxury pricing is often far more negotiable than it appears. We also break down several notable sales, including a home that fell from a $12 million list price to an $8.5 million sale.For links and show notes, visit us at https://houseeinstein.com/boulders-luxury-smoke-and-mirrors-price-cuts-buyer-risk/____________________This podcast is supported by the House Einstein real estate brokerage, founded and based in Boulder, Colorado.
