2026-09-30
Redfin market data (county + ZIP), via Lotvox. As of 2026-09-30. Normal = same-month median of monthly rates, minimum 3 same-month points. Source window 3 months (flows shown per month). months_of_supply is not published at this grain (0 non-null rows measured); derived here as active listings / closed sales per month. A fresher supply-only read (52 new, 124 active, 2026-09-01, Realtor.com inventory (county + ZIP), via Lotvox) is available but is NOT used in the net — that source publishes no closed sales, so subtracting across it would mix two vintages.

Price Bands — the median behind the median
A single median rises whenever expensive homes become a bigger share of what sells, even if no tier got more expensive. These are the tiers underneath it, computed from recorded arms-length deed transactions in Boulder.
Aggregate median +1.3% YoY in this ZIP, but the under-$500k tier is -0.5% — the aggregate and the entry tier are diverging, but the sales mix barely moved — this is not a composition effect. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 13.7% to 13.4% (-0.4pp) and the $1M+ share from 28.9% to 29.0% (+0.1pp).
