The Smart Alternative to Boulder

Longmont has become one of the fastest-growing cities on the northern Front Range for a simple reason: it is significantly more affordable than Boulder while still offering quick access to Boulder jobs and culture. Buyers priced out of Boulder find that Longmont gives them a real house, a real yard, and often better schools, for a fraction of the price. The median home price sits around $480,000-$530,000 in 2026, and the city has been building out its own tech and healthcare employer base. Jamie Becker (NMLS #794730) has 21+ years of experience helping first-time buyers and move-up buyers find the right loan in markets like this, with deep knowledge of CHFA programs that can help reduce the upfront cost of getting into a home.

Longmont Mortgage FAQ

Boulder's median home price has pushed well above $800,000 for single-family homes, putting it out of reach for most first-time and middle-income buyers. Longmont sits about 15 miles north on US 287 with a median closer to $480,000-$530,000 in 2026. Many Boulder-area tech and healthcare workers commute from Longmont because the cost difference is significant. The city has also grown its own employer base with companies like Digital Globe and Seagate having major operations nearby.

FHA loans are popular in Longmont because of the lower down payment (3.5%) and more forgiving credit requirements. CHFA programs can layer on top of FHA to provide additional down payment assistance and potentially reduce closing costs. For buyers who have better credit and 5% or more saved, conventional loans can offer lower long-term costs by avoiding FHA mortgage insurance premiums long-term.
