Living Colorado Springs

There just aren't enough homes for sale for buyers in the Pikes Peak Region!

The inventory has broken records again and has dwindled even further to a record low of 471 homes for sale in the entire Pikes Peak Region (The lowest we have ever seen!). There are only 322 homes for sale in El Paso County and only 240 homes for sale in city of Colorado Springs. These numbers include new construction homes.

Home sales are up 6.0% from last January at 971 homes sold. Pending sales are sitting at 1,603 homes as of February 1st. Homes sales are likely constrained due to the lack of inventory for buyers.

Prices continue to see double digit increases (year over year) due to the high demand and lack of supply. The median price was $385,000 which is up 14.3% from last year. The average price increased 15.4% to $433,289.

With increased demand and record low interest rates, our inventory problem will persist for some time. Sellers continue to see multiple offers and their homes under contract in a matter of days. Buyers are experiencing bidding wars and fewer home options. It is more important than ever for buyers to have a realtor on their on side!
