Golden Handcuffs, Boulder "Redefines" Neighborhoods, and BVSD School Closures | Podcast #111

Low mortgage rates have created what many homeowners call “golden handcuffs.” In this episode we discuss strategies for navigating that reality, including assumable mortgages and other ways to move without giving up a low rate. We also talk about negotiation timing, recent Denver and Boulder market data, and several notable local sales. Finally, we discuss Boulder’s new comprehensive plan, potential school closures, and how those changes could reshape neighborhoods. 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.
