What it means

Reading the numbers as a seller

Boulder County is not one market. A Louisville seller and a Lafayette seller are facing opposite conditions in the same month.
Prices per square foot are down countywide while median prices are up — meaning larger, well-prepared homes are carrying the average.
Days on market in the 40–55 day range means presentation and pricing in the first two weeks decide the outcome.
Your equity number depends on your street and your home's condition, not the county headline.
