🎶🎨 What is there to do in Niwot, Colorado? More than you might expect from a town where nearly everything is happening within a few walkable blocks.

Late summer and early fall are especially fun in Old Town Niwot, with live music, local art, community events, restaurants, and neighbors gathering along 2nd Avenue and around Whistle Stop Park.

September brings even more reasons to spend an evening in Niwot, including the Honeybee Harvest Festival on September 5 and a double dose of local art on September 11 with receptions at Osmosis Gallery and Niwot Hall.

And the local dining scene is growing, too, adding even more to the small-town lifestyle that makes Niwot such a special part of Boulder County.

Our latest blog takes you through the events, art, dining, and local traditions worth putting on your Niwot calendar.

Real Estate Is Local—and That's Good News for Boulder County Homeowners

When you hear headlines about the housing market, it's easy to wonder how much of it actually applies here in Boulder County.

The truth is, every real estate market is different. While national trends provide context, local factors like inventory, buyer demand, community growth, and neighborhood dynamics often have a much bigger impact on your home and your next move.

That's why I wrote my newest blog—to help explain what's happening behind the scenes and why staying informed can help you make more confident real estate decisions.

In the blog, you'll learn:
✔️ How changes in the real estate market can affect homeowners, buyers, and sellers
✔️ Why Boulder County continues to have its own unique market dynamics
✔️ Why local expertise matters more than ever when you're planning your next move

Staying ahead of changes in real estate means continuing to learn, especially when those changes can impact our clients. 🏡

Thank you to Amanda Sessa with SWBC Mortgage for a great continuing education class covering the latest changes in condo lending.

We spent the morning learning more about warrantable vs. non-warrantable condos, updated insurance requirements, and recent Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guideline changes that can affect condo buyers, sellers and transactions.

Understanding these details before a property goes under contract can help us better prepare our clients and anticipate potential challenges along the way.

Thank you, Amanda, for keeping us informed and helping us continue to serve our Boulder County clients well!

Behind every home purchase or sale are policies that can have a real impact on affordability, inventory, property rights, and opportunities for future homeowners.

That's why I appreciate seeing Colorado REALTORS® working with lawmakers to advocate for solutions that support homeownership and strengthen communities across our state. Meaningful conversations about housing are an important step toward creating more opportunities for buyers, sellers, and families alike.

If you're exploring downtown Longmont, make time for a stop at Landline Doughnuts & Coffee.

It's the perfect place to grab a sweet treat before strolling Main Street or meeting up with friends.

Have you tried their famous potato doughnuts? What's your favorite flavor?
