2209 Lark Dr Colorado Springs CO 80909 SOLD

May 31, 2017 by Toby Lorenc

2209 Lark Dr Colorado Springs CO 80909 closed on May 30th for $278,000

2209 Lark Drive Colorado Springs CO 80909 in the Audubon Gardens neighborhood in East Colorado Springs SOLD on May 30th, 2017 after being on the market for only 22 days. Many of the homes on the market in Colorado Springs are selling in an average of 28 days. That includes every price range, even the higher price ranges that usually tend to move a bit slower. That means homes in the median price range (around $300,000) are moving so quickly, real estate agents, title companies and sellers are scrambling to catch up after listing a home. They are often getting over-asking price offers within days of listing the home on the MLS (multiple listing service).
This home was no exception and it’s no wonder buyers jumped on this opportunity. The house had such wonderful pride of ownership and these folks did all the right things. From a beautiful low-maintenance landscaped yard to immaculate hardwood floors inside, the house sold itself and the buyers and sellers walked away with smiles on their faces.
As with any real estate transaction, there are unexpected hiccups in the process but thankfully Sylvia Jennings handled the entire process with skill and care. An experienced agent can bring the deal to the closing table; an inexperienced agent can bring the deal to its knees. But with the partnership of a great real estate agent and a motivated seller working as a team, we got another great home in the hands of a happy buyer!

If you’ve been looking for a home, it’s too late for this one but we have plenty of other options!

395 Oakhurst Lane Colorado Springs CO 80906. Located in Oakhurst Park in the Cheyenne Mountain School District in Southwest Colorado Springs.

395 Oakhurst Lane Colorado Springs CO 80906 has been reduced to $260,000 a significant price drop of $20,000! This is a great opportunity as the real estate market in Colorado Springs continues to be a very competitive market for buyers and a goldmine for sellers.

Property values have increased significantly over the 1st quarter of 2017, some over 30% increase in home values. This means that buyers are usually dealing with competing offers at the top of market and appraisal values.

Now, more and more buyers are turning to the idea of purchasing land and building a custom home. Although the price per square foot is typically higher and the wait time is longer with custom built homes, buyers are realizing they can create and build exactly what they want and not have to deal with this highly competitive market.

395 Oakhurst Ln is a great option for buyers looking to build a custom home, and now it’s even more appealing with the recent $20,000 price drop. The flag lot backs to a golf course and is located in Oakhurst Park, which is part of school district 12 (Cheyenne Mountain School District). With nearly 3/4 of an acre and beautiful views of the Colorado Rocky Mountains and unique rock formations, this cul-de-sac lot has the perfect setting to host your new home. Plus, the location couldn’t be better with quick access to downtown Colorado Springs, and other major attractions like the Broadmoor Hotel, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and the Country Club of Colorado.

Strong Demand Causes Home Inventory Shortage Across Colorado

March 19, 2017 by Sylvia Jennings

Despite a nearly 30 percent increase in new single-family and townhome/condominium listings from January to February 2017, Colorado’s housing market continues to battle record low inventory, according to the latest statewide housing report from the Colorado Association of REALTORS® (CAR).
The addition of 7,099 single-family listings and 2,228 new townhome/condominium listings, of which more than half were in the Denver-metro region, was matched by consistent statewide sales resulting in an 8 percent dip in the total inventory of active listings from January to February 2017. El Paso County has just a 1.1 month supply of available single family homes, pushing the average home price up over $25,000 to over $302,000. Local townhome prices have jumped an average of $23,000 to $192,199.

Frontier Airlines Expansion A Game-Changer For Colorado Springs

March 8, 2017 by Sylvia Jennings

Those time-consuming and expensive trips to DIA could soon become a thing of the past. Frontier Airlines has announced a huge expansion to its service to Colorado Springs, with the addition of direct flights to 7 cities: Washington-Dulles, San Diego, Los Angeles, Chicago-O’Hare, Tampa, and Ft. Myers. City leaders have been working for years on improving the performance and passenger traffic at the Colorado Springs airport, so they’re pretty excited about the changes. Local business and leisure travelers should be excited, too. If the additional flights generate enough interest, Frontier and other airlines will probably respond with even more direct flights, and could potentially bring us back to the boom days of the 1990’s. Frontier’s got $29 one-way offerings today only, so book your flight now!
