“Loveland's leveled out a bit this spring, and that's actually good news if you've been waiting for a saner market.”

Heads up: Loveland has cooled enough to give buyers real breathing room this spring. Sellers who price to the comps — not last year's peak — are still moving homes in a reasonable window.

Laura’s Take

Loveland is having a quieter spring than the last few years, and while it has some concerned, that's a healthy reset. The median is sitting right around $560K, days on market are pushing into the two-month range, and prices are off about 6% from a year ago. None of that is panic territory. It just means buyers have room to think, and sellers need to price to the comps rather than last year's headlines.

Rates are hovering in the low 6s right now. Not where any of us want them, but stable, and stable is its own kind of opportunity. If you've been thinking about a move, let's talk through what your numbers actually look like before you decide.

DID YOU KNOW?

The World’s Biggest Bike Company Just Moved to Boulder

Giant Group, the Taiwan-based parent of Giant, Liv, and Momentum bicycles, picked Boulder for its U.S. headquarters. They signed a 10-year lease on 44,000 square feet at 3825 Walnut, relocating from Southern California, with the move wrapping up by late summer. Eventually, they expect around 125 jobs to be based here. When jobs move to Boulder, it matters for the surrounding areas. Boulder real estate has been pricing most workers out for years, which means new Boulder employers feed demand straight into Longmont, Lafayette, Erie, and the Carbon Valley.

Laura’s quick tip: Boulder commuter towns like Longmont and Frederick have outperformed the region on long-term appreciation, partly because of exactly this dynamic.

Community Spotlight

Three Public Courses, One Pretty Easy Decision

One of the underrated perks of living in Longmont is that you can play a real round of golf without driving to Denver and without paying resort prices. The city has three public courses, and each is good for different reasons.

Ute Creek is the headliner. It's an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II design that opened in 1997, par 72, with mountain views and Audubon-certified grounds that keep it green without being precious about it. It's the course I'd take an out-of-town guest to.

Twin Peaks has been around since 1977, par 70, with greens that have humbled a lot of confident golfers. Eighteen with a cart runs roughly $35 to $55, which is a deal for the quality. They've got a full driving range and PGA instruction if you want to actually get better instead of just walk faster between bad shots.

And then there's Sunset, the 9-hole that opened in 1922. Tree-lined fairways, a Longs Peak view that doesn't get old, and a price point (about $18 to $32 for nine) that makes it the easy yes when you've got an open afternoon. It's the kind of course you bring your kid to.

If you're house-hunting in Longmont and golf matters to you, ask me about the neighborhoods that back up to Ute Creek or sit a quick drive from Twin Peaks.

Online estimators are a starting point. They miss everything that actually moves price — your finishes, your block, what just closed two doors down. I’ll pull a real CMA and walk you through what your home would realistically sell for this spring.
