Colorado Springs Real Estate Continues To Improve In April

Both the number of sales, and prices for homes in Colorado Springs, increased in April. Sales were up 4.8% over 2011, and the median price was up 4.1%. The number of homes for sale was down 26.3%, helping prices stabilize. Interest rates remain in the 4% range, making home buying a bargain almost regardless of the price. The percentage of homes disclosed as distressed continued to drop, at 15.3% it is at one of the lowest points since mid 2007.
The increase in prices and low level of inventory should make room for new construction to see somewhat of a rebound this year. Single family permits for April were up 25.7%, and while the total numbers aren’t large yet (191 vs 152 in 2011), things are definitely headed in the right direction.
