Lending Tree names Austin as #1 boomtown!

We ranked the country’s largest metros using three categories: people and housing, work and earnings, and business and economy.

Two Northern Colorado markets, two different stories. 🏡

August brought a slower pace to both Boulder and Fort Collins, but the numbers show some interesting differences.

Boulder saw fewer sales compared with last year, while the average sales price moved higher — a reminder that lower transaction volume doesn’t necessarily mean lower home values.

Fort Collins also saw a slowdown in August, with fewer new listings and softer pricing compared with last year. At the same time, homes that sold moved a little faster, and inventory remains relatively steady.

The takeaway? There really isn’t one “Colorado market.” Conditions can look very different from one city — and even one neighborhood — to the next.

Austin’s August numbers are in 📊

The broader Austin metro gives us the big picture, but zooming in on the City of Austin tells a slightly different story.

From July to August, Austin’s median sales price moved from $577K to $560K, while closed and pending sales slowed. Active inventory also dipped, while months of inventory held relatively steady at 4.6 months.

For buyers, there’s still plenty of choice. For sellers, pricing and presentation continue to matter—especially as we head into the fall market.

📊 Two markets. Two states. Two very different stories.

One of the things I love most about my business is staying connected to both the Colorado and Central Texas real estate markets. While they're both active, they're not moving in exactly the same direction.

🏔️ **Fort Collins **continues to be a market where limited inventory helps support home values, and pricing remains resilient.

🤠 **Austin**, after several years of adjustment, is offering buyers more choices and greater negotiating opportunities while sales activity continues to improve.

The biggest takeaway? Real estate is always local.

National headlines rarely tell the whole story. Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or relocating, understanding what's happening in your specific market is what leads to the best decisions.

Take a look through the June market snapshots, and if you're curious how these trends affect your neighborhood—or you're comparing Colorado and Texas—I'd be happy to help.

If you are looking for a reason to visit Fort Collins, CO, it is listed by CNN Travel as one of America's best towns to visit 2026! 😁

Like a theme park, you can bounce from one peak experience to another in Fort Collins — an inspiration for Disneyland’s Main Street USA that’s full of homegrown charm.
