Despite the curveball of COVID-19, the real estate market continues to thrive. We’re still experiencing a sellers market, often with multiple offers exceeding list price within a few weeks of listing a home. Prices are up and the number of homes sold is still ahead of where we were at this time last year. However, we’re still dealing with the low inventory challenge: simply not having enough homes on the market for the number of buyers that are ready to buy.
Some things have changed regarding getting qualified to buy a home, but typically if you’re back working again with a regular income, there are programs available. Plus, with the incredibly low interest rates, it’s a great time to take advantage of buying a primary residence or investment property. Now’s the time to make a move to take advantage of quickly increasing prices. Consider this: Five years ago in June 2015, the average sale price was just over $279,000. As of this June, we’ve exceeded $400,000.

1924 Berkshire Ln Colorado Springs CO 80909
Our agents are hard at work and haven’t seen much of a slow down, which we typically would this time of year. But we are still seeing homes going under contract quickly, especially in the $450,000 or less price range.
Recently, after 11 days on the market, 1924 Berkshire Ln went under contract. We had competing offers and now have a signed contract over list price. This is the ideal situation for a seller, when buyer’s are literally fighting over the seller’s property.
Remember too, that although many homes are going under contract the same day, they are listed or within a few days, our average days on market in the Colorado Springs area is currently 29 days on market. Even 11 days is still less than the average and makes for a happy seller.

Southern Colorado’s housing market is firecracker hot this summer, even as home prices continue to rise at a much faster pace then the rest of the country. The average home price in El Paso County now tops $326,000, a 10.6% jump from average price last June. The National Association of REALTORS (NAR) reports the Springs leads the Rocky Mountain area for home sales, hitting the 6th spot for Hottest Housing Market, above Denver. A record 1,743 homes sold in Colorado Springs in June, up 5.6% from last June. Home buyers had more properties to choose from, as rose 16.8% from May. But homes in the most affordable price ranges are still selling within days, not weeks, and above asking price. The average home is on the market 24 days, with the average in some areas as low as 7 days. June 2017 Sales Charts
The inventory crunch is across the U.S. NAR says this is the first time that 1 in 3 homes is selling in under 30 days nationally. The demand for affordable homes is building among first-time home buyers and baby boomers. NAR economist Javier Vivas says millions of older and younger Americans are snapping up starter homes and urban dwellings like never before.
Denver’s lack of affordable homes has been pushing metro-area home buyers south to Colorado Springs for years, but the city’s job growth and surging economy are also bringing new residents here in droves. A majority of the 12,000 + available job openings are for high-paying positions in nursing, software engineering and systems engineering, with a median salary of over $67,000.
