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

  Jul 10, 20261h 54m

  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.
