June Colorado Springs home sales were up 4.7%, compared with June of 2009.

We were expecting May to be a strong closing month, and while it wasn’t outrageously great, it was respectable. Sales were up 6.7%, the median price (1/2 above, 1/2 below) was up 2.1%, and the average was 5.3% over 2009. Other notables: The inventory of unsold homes jumped 10.0% April was a good month in the real estate business in Colorado Springs. Homes sales were up 11.9% over last year, and prices were up 4.7%, a very respectable amount. While the tax credit expiration of April 30 undoubtedly pulled some activity into the month, most of the impact of that will likely be felt [...] There are lots of ways that home values get reported in Colorado Springs. Many of us as agents track this tightly, the Pikes Peak Association of Realtors definitely makes a major effort, and the El Paso County Assessors office takes its own swing at the issue. But this is one area where I really have [...] Preliminary figures indicate homes sale rose again in Colorado Springs for the 7th consecutive month at a double digit pace of 13.5%. Prices were also up, though barely, with the average up .4%, and the median (1/2 above, 1/2 below), up only 2.7%. The inventory of unsold homes for sale dropped again, to 4,361 units [...] Single family home sales were up in January by 12.3% over a year ago at 464 units (preliminary data).

This January and last January, were in [...] Today was RE/MAX Properties Luxury Home Professionals home tour. Our company has a great program for marketing luxury homes that includes special training for participating agents, as well as a monthly tour of luxury homes, alternated between the north and south areas. Today’s tour was of the southwest side of town, and we had listings [...] Happy New Year! I love it when we see year to year increases in Colorado Springs home sales, and December was our 5th in a row of double digit increases. While prices did not do as well (mean down 1.9% $223,143, median up 6.9% at $192,500), an encouraging sign was the 90th percentile jumped from [...] I listed a house this week in Fountain, and since I had not written about Fountain in a while, thought I’d dedicate a blog entry to it. Fountain is an incorporated city in it’s own right, but since it is only 10- 15 minutes south of Colorado Springs and part of the metro [...] Despite improvements in the housing figures in Colorado Springs over the last several months, there is no doubt that the action is on the affordable end. 50% of Jul 2009 sales were under $199,500, but almost 69% were under $250,000. 82.9% percent were below the FHA loan limit of $325,000, and the 90th percentile (90% [...] |
