Colorado Springs Real Estate Prices Increase in March

Prices for Colorado Springs real estate increased by 2.7% on average, and the median (1/2 below, 1/2 above) actually jumped 5% over March of 2011. Sales were down 6.8%, but the inventory of unsold homes was down 26.9%, causing some upward price pressure on the remaining homes for sale.
Sales have been steadily increasing on year to year to comparisons, but prices had been stubbornly soft. While it remains to be seen if this is THE turning point, all indications say it likely is, and positive year to year price comparisons will likely continue going forward. Low interest rates, pent up housing demand, and a strengthening local economy are all playing a part in the Colorado Springs housing market recovery.
