With interest rates under still under 4.0%, it is a fantastic time to buy, particularly in the Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak regions. The cost of home ownership has rarely been lower, and there are many terrific properties currently on the market just waiting for the right buyer.  But the best deals aren’t lingering on the market very long. Savvy buyers know they need to move fast when they see a home in great shape, meets their requirements, and is priced to sell.

After taking some clients through several homes over a period of a few weeks, we knew they had a good sense of what was available in their price range. Typically the houses were a little too small to meet their needs, or required more work and money to bring them back into move-in condition than our clients felt they could afford, or the yard was too small for their children, or the location had issues. Then we found a 10 year-old house in terrific condition that was the right size, with a great yard, in a good location and at just the right price for our clients. It had been on the market just 3 days.

Our clients had seen enough properties by this point to recognize this home as a true gem.  We provided them with data on comparable properties that had sold within the same neighborhood and the numbers  attested to the value. The sellers had obviously priced this well-maintained home to sell.  Wasting no time, we  submitted our clients’ offer that same day and just 33 days later, our clients closed on the property and started moving in. They’ve been living there a few months now and love the house.  Had our clients hesitated, someone else would now own that home.  

With interest rates so low, and some wonderful properties on the market, your home-buying dollars will go further than ever before.  It is truly an ideal time to purchase a home. Call us today and find out more!
