Using the MLS Search for Boulder, CO:

Finding a home in Boulder Colorado!

 

The first problem is that many of these apparent “Free” search services are not really there for your sole benefit.  As the saying goes, if the service is free, YOU are the product, and not the customer.  They provide you a limited service, but are fundamentally little more than lead generators for agents who pay for your search history information.  Often the results will direct you towards a broker who has paid to be in that position, but may not know anything about the particular home you just found, and may not even be familiar with the area.

There are so many “FREE” property search tools available on-line, including Zillow.com, Realtor.com, and others. Another problem with many of these search engines is that so many of the homes that you’ll find, and sometimes fall in love with, are already under contract. Data that is not “fresh”can be confusing. In a market such as Boulder’s current market, where inventory doesn’t stay on the market very long, trying to find a home this way can be disappointing and frustrating.

In Contrast: This Boulder MLS Search engine cuts through the “under contract but seeking backups” layers of old data, to bring you only current data. The MLS Search is linked directly to the IRES data base, the database used by most local real estate professionals. The MLS Search allows you to “filter” the results to exclude backups, as well as search for only homes that meet your budget and physical requirements.

This Boulder MLS Search is very visual, and allows you to search by Geographical Location. By zooming in or out of a different location, the resulting list of homes will change to fit the geographical map that you have focussed on. This allows you to search by selecting a geographical location first, and them look around that geographic area to find the home for you. It’s a bit like driving through your preferred neighborhood and streets, but on-line.

Filters:  You can apply numerous filters to your search.  One of the most interesting filters, besides Active/UnderContract and Price Range, is the MLS# sort filter.  By selecting the display sort from the higher MLS number to the lowest, Boulder MLS Search will bring up the most recent listings first..

Hop-on, and try the MLS Search, I think you’ll discover a very effective way to search on-line for your next home in Boulder CO.
