Berthoud
Berthoud runs 5.4 months of single-family supply, the loosest market in the corridor and the only one still loosening. It's the one town where the buyer holds the leverage, and its median is a construction-mix artifact you shouldn't price off, so we won't quote a Berthoud appreciation rate.
Loveland
Loveland is the corridor's outlier: single-family supply at just 2.7 months, the corridor's tightest, and a median that rose about 1.5% year to date while the rest of the corridor softened on price. Here's what the town numbers show, and why the move-up band above the median behaves differently.
Market Pulse
The scary Boulder 'median' is a condo mix-shift, not a crash: single-family still sits near $1,325,000 and roughly flat at mid-2026. Across the northern Front Range, the move-up value keeps moving north, where Larimer and Weld absorb the buyers Boulder County prices out.
Longmont
Longmont single-family runs 2.6 months of supply against Boulder's 4.7, so the corridor is the tighter market, not the looser one. And the median is still down about 4.8% year to date. Both are true at once, and together they change how a move-up trade has to be financed.
Comparison Guide
Across the corridor, $1M–$1.5M buys the location in Boulder and a lot more house north of it. But the newer Loveland, Berthoud, and SW-Longmont subdivisions move-up buyers target sit in metro tax districts that can roughly double the base mill levy. Check the tax line before you bank the savings.
Boulder
Boulder's single-family median is $1,325,000, and supply tightened from 6.4 months to 4.7. But that median isn't your price: the $800K–$1.5M move-up band straddles it, and the luxury tail above behaves nothing like the middle. What the town numbers do and don't tell you.
Lyons
Try to look up what a home in Lyons costs and you'll get four different answers hundreds of thousands of dollars apart. There's a reason: Lyons is too small and too varied to have a usable median. Here's how you actually price a house here.
Berthoud
In Berthoud's move-up band you're almost always buying a new build inside a metro district. The number that decides the deal isn't the sticker price. It's the district's debt mill levy, and it's the one cost in the whole deal you can't negotiate.
