Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Boulder

Boulder County’s in-migration fell 2.5% year-over-year—declining faster than all but nine U.S. counties that sent households here in both 2021-22 and 2022-23. This isn’t a sign of decline; it’s the first measurable sign of market maturity in a decade. For long-term residents, it’s a strategic advantage. For new entrants, it’s a recalibration. The data comes directly from ALEX Intelligence’s analysis of IRS migration data: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-04-boulder-mig-trend-in-total.
