Dude, I eat Runzas in Longmont, too. That is a nice house at a great price, just not sure I'd want to sign up for midwestern damp, cold, grey winters and hot, humid summers again.
No way is that underpriced, it's overpriced but NOT in this crazy "marked up" world we live in now. I'm a Remodeler/Contractor in the midwest. The prices will crash sooner than later and many will be left holding the bag. Location, location, location my butt! You're pushing a million dollars because it's in Boulder?
Simply put, it's stupidly overpriced like the rest of Boulder. Amazing how much people will pay thru hype. One day, sooner than later, they will collapse bigtime. Wait for it;)
How much of a noob does one have to be to think that buying real estate in the neoliberal feudal system that is Boulder is a good idea?
I love all the sour grapes comments on here. Lol. I can tell who can't afford Boulder...
Let's just say there's a reason Google (the most important company in the world) just opened its only 9th campus in the US in Boulder (crazy since Boulder is only 100k people and every other one is a MAJOR city). Boulder also only lost 3% of value in 07-09 while most of the rest of the country/world lost 20-30%.
Despite this monster run-up in real estate prices, Boulder RE will continue to get more valuable although at maybe a slower rate or following a brief cool off period.

im sort of mass affluent and just spent some time in Boulder for the first time…it’s a bloody paradise for people like me. I’m seriously considering cashing in my big city real estate chip and buying a house there to live in. The place really appeals to wealthy people in their 50s and 60s, and that combined with its anti-growth stance…should support Boulder real estate prices for a long time. But the town will just get demographically older and older, which is not great.
companies like Google probably can’t make their people pay those real estate prices anymore so biz moves will slow. It’s amazing - SF and NYC prices.
If you're a google engineer you typically start at 150k right out of college and go up from there. They will also pay your first few months rent and furnish your apartment. Skilled labor is very competitive. Wages are only going down in USA for those who choose to not learn valuable skills (or lack the intelligence to).

well, the median there is 1.5M, so it’s more than pushing 1M.
