What kind of house are we buying in Boulder?
Boulder’s housing is older and more varied than almost anywhere else along the Front Range, and that shapes what a cash sale here looks like. The city grew in distinct eras and each one left a different kind of house behind, so the year a house went up tells us most of what we expect to find behind its walls. We buy in every part of the city, across all five residential Boulder ZIP codes: 80301, 80302, 80303, 80304 and 80305.
- Mapleton Hill and Whittier Some of the oldest houses in the city, brick and frame, a century old or more. Mapleton Hill is one of the city’s ten designated historic districts, so exterior changes there go through the city’s landmark review. Whittier isn’t a district, though some of its houses are individual landmarks, and any Boulder house over fifty years old gets historic preservation review before a scrape.
- Newlands and North Boulder Original bungalows and small ranches mixed with newer homes built where an old one was scraped.
- Table Mesa Largely mid-century ranches and split-levels, a lot of them still on their original systems.
- Gunbarrel Townhomes and condos with homeowner associations, alongside later single-family streets. Most of Gunbarrel sits outside city limits in unincorporated Boulder County, so the city’s rental license and landmark rules don’t reach it.
What condition issues do we price into a Boulder offer?
Age brings a familiar list. Galvanized or cast-iron supply and sewer lines at the end of their life. Electrical panels sized for a house with far fewer things plugged in. Single-pane windows, thin insulation and basements that take on water in a wet spring. Low-slope roofs on the mid-century homes that were patched instead of replaced. Foundations that have moved with the expansive clay soils common near the foothills. Radon readings that come back high, as they do across much of Boulder County. Parts of the city sit in mapped floodplains along Boulder Creek and its tributaries, which affects insurance and what a lender will finance.
Two Boulder-specific pressures show up in the calls we get. Inside city limits the rental license is tied to an energy-efficiency compliance standard (SmartRegs), and owners of older rentals who were quoted a large bill to meet it often decide to sell instead. On parts of the west side the land is worth more than the house, and a seller with a tired house doesn’t want to spend a year and a renovation budget chasing a retail buyer. None of this changes whether we’ll buy. Every item below is priced into the offer, and we’re glad to go over any of it with you.

- Foundation movement from expansive clay soils near the foothills

- Rental license and efficiency-standard compliance on older rentals
- Scrape-candidate lots where the house itself carries little value
How does a cash sale close in Boulder?
The mechanics are the same across Colorado, with a few Boulder details worth knowing. You accept the written offer and pick the date. We open title with a reputable local title company, and the closing happens at their Boulder County office or, if you live out of town, with a mobile notary wherever you are. We cover the seller’s closing costs, and there’s no commission because there’s no agent in the middle. If you’re behind on the mortgage, Colorado gives you specific protections when you sell to an investor; talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor or a Colorado attorney before you sign anything with anyone.
The date is yours. Fourteen days is realistic when title is clean; sellers lining up a move, an estate distribution or a job start elsewhere pick a date weeks out. Either way you take what you want from the house and leave the rest. No showings, no sign in the yard, no cleanout. Here’s what settles between the offer and the funds.

- No state transfer tax Colorado doesn’t charge one. The deed is recorded with the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder for a small documentary fee.
- Property taxes prorated Colorado taxes are paid in arrears, so the current year’s share is settled on the closing statement.
- Mortgage and liens paid through title Mortgages and other money liens are paid from the sale price through title before your funds are released. If the payoffs run higher than our price, the sale needs your lender’s short payoff approval or funds from you, and we’ll tell you before you sign. Easements and covenants stay with the land.
- The Seller’s Property Disclosure The standard Colorado contract calls for it, and an as-is cash sale doesn’t change your duty to disclose what you know: known adverse material facts, plus the items Colorado puts in every residential contract (special taxing districts, any radon tests or mitigation you know of alongside the state radon warning, any methamphetamine history, the water source). Most Boulder houses predate 1978, so the federal lead paint disclosure and pamphlet apply too. Tell us what you know; nothing on it changes the condition we’re buying in.
- A historic-district address It doesn’t slow the closing. Landmark review governs later exterior work, and inside city limits any house over fifty years old goes through historic preservation demolition review before a scrape, with a possible stay of up to 180 days. Both pass to the buyer at closing and are already in our math.
- A Gunbarrel townhome or condo The title company orders the status letter from the association and any dues settle at closing.
- A licensed rental with a tenant The tenant and the lease come with the house. Colorado gives you 60 days after closing to transfer the security deposit to us and notify the tenant in writing, and we build that into the closing. A Boulder rental license doesn’t transfer with the sale; the new owner applies for the new license and handles the inspection, and your SmartRegs compliance stays with the house.
Why do so few instant-offer companies buy in Boulder?
If you have searched for a cash offer on a Boulder house, you have probably noticed that the national instant-offer platforms often don’t serve the address, or return a number produced from a form and photos before anyone has walked the property. Those companies price risk with models built for newer, uniform houses in mid-range price bands. Boulder’s stock is old, varied and expensive, so they have tended to buy narrowly here or not at all. What fills the gap online is often a lead form that sells your address.
We’re the other kind of buyer. Amy and Jenny are two local owners who answer their own phone, and the offer you receive within 24 hours comes in writing, and we walk you through how we reached it: the after-repair value, the repairs the house needs, our costs to hold and resell, and our margin. Ask us about any part of it, and hold it up against what you know about the house and the neighborhood.
Here’s the honest part, because Boulder prices make it matter more. A cash offer is lower than a retail listing would net on a house that’s ready to show, and on a Boulder price point the dollar gap is larger than in most of Northern Colorado. If your house in Newlands or Mapleton Hill is clean, updated and could list this month, listing with an agent will very likely net you more, and we’ll tell you that on the phone. Our offer earns its place when the house needs work a retail buyer won’t finance, when the timeline matters more than the last dollar, or when you don’t want a year of showings and repair negotiations.

Which situations bring Boulder homeowners to us?
Most of the Boulder calls we take aren’t about the house so much as about what’s happening around it. A Table Mesa ranch in one name since it was built, now inherited by siblings in three different states and staring at a basement full of belongings. A divorce where one spouse is staying in Boulder and the other has already left, with a decree that says the house sells and the proceeds split at title. A rental near campus that no longer pencils once the efficiency upgrades and a new sewer line are added up. A job that starts in another city before the house could be listed and sold.
Each of those has its own page on this site with the process laid out step by step. The short version: the situation doesn’t change the offer math, it changes the timeline and the paperwork, and we work around both. Estate sales wait on the personal representative’s Letters when the house was in the deceased owner’s name alone; a survivorship deed, beneficiary deed or trust changes that. Sale money goes to the estate, and heirs are paid when the personal representative distributes, so a fast closing doesn’t by itself mean fast money to siblings. We know what the title company will ask for in each case, and you pick a closing date that gives you time to gather it.

- An inherited house Decades of belongings still inside and siblings in different states. The estate paperwork sets the timeline, not the house, and the tax basis usually steps up to the value at death, so talk to a tax professional before assuming a large gains bill.
- A sale during a divorce Two signatures or a court order, and the proceeds split at title according to the decree.
- Repairs it would need before it could list Roof, sewer line, foundation. We buy the house in the condition it stands in today.
- A rental you’re done with Depending on the house and the lease, the tenant can often stay and the lease carries across to us; the deposit follows under Colorado’s transfer rule. Selling a rental has tax consequences, so call your tax professional first.
- A move that starts before a listing could sell You pick a closing date that matches the move instead of waiting on a buyer’s loan.
- A scrape-candidate house A lot worth more than the building, where renovating for a retail buyer makes no sense. In the city, a house over fifty years old goes through demolition review first; that’s the buyer’s job, not yours.
Selling your Boulder house for cash: common questions.
Do you buy houses in every Boulder neighborhood, including Mapleton Hill and Gunbarrel?
Yes. We buy across the city, in Mapleton Hill, Whittier, North Boulder, Newlands and Table Mesa, and in Gunbarrel, which is mostly unincorporated Boulder County with a Boulder address, and in all five residential Boulder ZIP codes: 80301, 80302, 80303, 80304 and 80305. That includes houses in a historic district, where landmark rules govern future exterior work, and Gunbarrel townhomes or condos with a homeowner association. The neighborhood changes the after-repair value we use in the offer math; it never changes whether we’ll make an offer.
Will a cash offer on a Boulder house be far below what it would list for?
It will be lower than a retail listing would net on a house that’s ready to show, and on a Boulder price point the dollar gap is larger than in most of Northern Colorado. We walk you through the after-repair value, the repairs, our costs and our margin, so you can see where the number comes from. If listing with an agent would clearly net you more, we’ll tell you so. The offer makes sense when the house needs work, the timeline matters, or you want no showings.
Can I sell a Boulder rental with a tenant still in it, and what about the rental license?
Yes. The lease transfers with the property, and the tenant doesn’t need to move for the closing to happen. Depending on the house and the lease, we can often buy with the tenant in place, so you may not need to end the tenancy to sell to us. Colorado gives you 60 days after closing to transfer the security deposit to us and mail the tenant notice of the transfer, and we set that up at closing. A City of Boulder rental license expires when the property changes hands; the new owner applies for the new license and the inspection is theirs, while your SmartRegs compliance stays with the house. If you’re thinking of ending the lease before a sale instead, Colorado now requires cause for most tenancies of a year or more; selling is a no-fault ground only at the end of the lease term, with 90 days’ written notice, and there are exemptions, so confirm your situation with a Colorado attorney. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is the cash offer really obligation-free?
Completely. You get the offer in writing, then decide on your own time. No fee, no contract for asking, and no salesperson wearing you down.
