Colorado Springs Homes Selling Fast


 

When it comes to selling your home, the sooner you can get an offer from a buyer and close the deal, the better. In a recent study released by Trulia, Colorado Springs is one of the fastest moving markets in the country. Listed at number 7 for housing markets, homes here are selling faster than before. Comparing data to a year ago, the area has seen homes selling fast, with 46.7% of homes on the marketing currently selling within a month. At the same time a year ago, only 38% of home sold within a month of being listed.  A 10% growth in the time it takes to sell a home is a significant increase indicating a strong seller’s market, and highlighting the demand for homes in the Colorado Springs area.

With the region growing as a whole, many home buyers are looking away from Denver where prices are higher. Colorado Springs offers great home values and a wonderful place to live. As a community near enough to Denver, with all that the area has to offer, the influx of Denver residents buying homes is no surprise. Rising rental rates are also helping more people look toward buying a home. Just as with many areas of the country, rising rents makes buying a home more affordable and attractive. This has resulted in a larger pool of potential buyers. With more demand for homes being seen, Colorado Springs properties are selling quickly. For anyone looking to sell their Colorado Springs home, the current inventory is lower than last year, which makes this an ideal time to take advantage of the demand for homes in the area. 

Comparing Colorado Springs residential realty to Denver properties, you can get more home for less. Trulia’s latest report shows the median price of homes in the Colorado Springs area is $230,000 as of April this year. In Denver, the median price is $330,000. With this much of a difference, it is easier to live with the finer home amenities many buyers are looking for, such as energy efficient options. Homes with luxury features such as theaters, professional chef kitchens and spa bathrooms can also be found in Colorado Springs.
