Neighbor Due Diligence, Q1 Bidding Wars, and SoBo Rec Center Debate | Podcast #105

Buying a home involves more than just inspecting the house. In this episode, we talk about commonly overlooked due diligence, especially the importance of meeting the neighbors and hearing what they have to say. We share bad neighbor situations that caused unexpected problems, touch on our experience with recent bidding wars, review Boulder housing activity by price range, and look at notable sales. We also run through some current news and wrap up with our usual off-topic carve-outs. This podcast is supported by the House Einstein real estate brokerage, founded and based in Boulder, Colorado. House Einstein’s mission is to help you make a smarter real estate decision.
