2021 Early look

by Michael Malec

Welcome to 2022! Hopefully a more normal year in all regards, but we’ll see. I’m writing this the last week of 2021, so no finalized data yet for last year.

Let’s take a quick peek at the 2021 data for single family homes in Boulder County compared to the previous year.

This data isn’t final, but safe to say were not going to make huge strides in matching the 2020 numbers during the last 5 days of the year. Single family sales down just over 11% and available single-family inventory down over 58%. I’ll be analyzing all of the finalized year end stats in future articles, and as usual, really digging into the differences that made 2021 unique. One of the things I’ll be looking forward to in 2022 is to not have huge blips in my data and charts from the 2020 COVID shutdown. Hopefully we’ve moved past that and won’t see it again.

And to say goodbye to 2021, I present you with a recent comic that made me laugh out loud from xkcd, a must visit for fellow stat nerds and quants.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is off to a great start in 2022!

We don’t always follow those seasonal patterns as short-term effects can override the typical seasonal patterns, but when there isn’t any outside influence pushing the market hotter or colder, we generally revert back to our seasonal patterns.
