Niwot, Colorado is an amazing town which sits right on the edge of Boulder and offers residents a sweet, neighborly, and small town feel mixed with a wide variety of gorgeous homes and estates. Homeowners in Niwot enjoy all the benefits of living close to Boulder, Longmont, and Lafayette, but more so, enjoy the serenity of being far enough away from these busy cities so that they have a better opportunity to take advantage of Colorado’s peaceful surroundings. Despite the short distance between Niwot and Boulder, the weather there is significantly dryer which allows for more outdoor living and “playtime” opportunities. Niwot also boasts a lower tax rate than their neighboring cities, which has contributed to its recent growing popularity with

Boulder Valley Economic Snapshot 

One of the issues the area real estate market faced as the year began was available inventory of homes for sale across the Boulder Valley. 2012 ended with 814 single family active listings in Boulder County. That was down 27% from the end of 2011 (1121 active single family listings).

Niwot, Colorado is a small community, not quite a town or a borough, but a census-designated place or locality of Boulder County. Located just 10 minutes from Downtown Boulder and 5 minutes from the City of Longmont, Niwot spreads out over 4.1 square miles of old farm land.  The area is absolutely beautiful and features pockets mature cottonwood trees, majestic views of the Rockies, and of course the great open plains.   This cute and cultural community with a population of about 4,160 people, was named for the Arapaho Chief Niwot, who was a tribal leader during the 19th century in the Boulder area. Chief Niwot’s name means “left-handed” which is familiar to locals because of Boulder’s popular Left Hand Canyon and Longmont’s Left Hand Brewing

 Richard Wobbekind, one of my favorite economists, who is with the Colorado Leeds School of business, is predicting that Colorado will have slow steady growth in 2012.  We are not going to see robust growth, but we are going to see growth.  The construction industry which has seen a decline in employment over the last four years is poised to add 2,900 jobs next year.

Wobbekind does caution in the article in the Daily Camera, that if something drastic happens in Europe that throws our stock market into a tail spin all bets are off and we could have rough roads ahead. 

The current numbers and job growth are running parallel to what occurred during the 2001 downturn according to Wobbekind.  If we continue to follow the same growth path we should see
