MSN recently released an article citing Boulder Colorado as one of "The Best Small Cities" in which to reside. My home, Boulder Colorado, has been ranked as the number one small city in which to live numerous times in the past years, by numerous sources. I will have to say that Boulder Colorado is a hip place to live. Boulder is a town of 100,000 residents, and with the university, the small town attracts big city events and culture - it's a really nice mix. You can "get out" within minutes into some of the most beautiful scenery around, or stay downtown with great restaurants and solid nightlife.

The decision to award our Boulder Colorado Real Estate website with the PURE GOLD award was based on design, interactivity, and most importantly, on real estate content.
Alan Greenspan, poised to be replaced in approximately four months as Federal Reserve Chairman, has raised interest rates 11 times since June 2001 - last week's decision by the Federal Open Market Committee to hike the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans by a quarter percentage point to 3.75 percent is steadily becoming a common phenomenon.
Mortgage rates have been fluctuating lately, and we aren't seeing the 4% rates that we could have gotten 3 years ago, but we've been staying under 6% for the most part. The Boulder Colorado market has not stepped off course from a steady rate of appreciation, and despite the natural disasters lately, there is no sign that it will.

The city of Boulder Colorado has been cracking down on the use of Boulder Real Estate signs over the past year, is it the same in your area? We all know that a real estate sign located in the public right of way is illegal, and in Boulder Colorado, could warrant you a $1,000 fine and/or 90 days in jail.
The Boulder Colorado sign code states:
“With respect to real estate signs, the council finds that a small “for sale” or “for rent” sign is an important means of advertising real estate and does not create a traffic hazard…”
The code goes on to state:
“…One temporary, non-illuminated real estate sign per property or per dwelling unit street frontage, set back at least eighteen inches from the nearest public sidewalk, that does not exceed 6 square feet per face in area and a total of 12 square feet in area and four feet in height in the RR, RR1, ER, LR, MR, MX, HZ, MXR, HR, HZ, and MH zones or 16 square feet per face and a total of 32 square feet in area and seven feet in height in any other zone, but only if the sign remains in place no more than seven days after sale or rental of the subject property. The area of such a sign shall not be deducted from the allowable sign area or number of freestanding signs for the building or business unit. If the property owner or tenant is not using this real estate sign allowance, such person in possession of the property may place a non-commercial sign conforming with these limitations in lieu of such a real estate sign.”
The code is quite a mouthful to handle (and covers all the bases, including 'non-illuminated' signs). LetÂ’s give the Realtors a break out there for those Sunday open house signs, temporarily providing a means to promote and drive traffic to their listing, for the benefit of the Seller. I completely respect the intent of the sign code in Boulder Colorado (and there are some choice spots, specifically on Broadway, where small conglomerates of condos are riddled with signs), but much like anything in our lives, letÂ’s use some common sense on where to place signs, and for how long they should be placed.
