The year is ending on a positive note for us we feel very fortunate to have had so many wonderful clients this year. We surpassed our sales from last year thanks to so many referrals from past clients, friends and family!! We live in a beautiful area and are so fortunate to have not suffered the huge market swings and the massive job losses of other areas in the country.

In Colorado Springs and Monument if a home is priced to the market, is in good condition and is marketed and staged well it will sell! Buyers and sellers both need to be realistic about the home and look at the current market value not what they need or would have gotten in the recent past. Buyers must make their offer based on the competitive market analysis and be ready to jump through alot of hoops to satisfy the lenders.
It is so important that buyers prequalify with a reputable lender and have a great realtor work for them who knows the market, and guide you through the buying process. This is especially true in this market with lending requirements changing daily, and so many short sales and distressed properties on the market.
It is a great time to buy, interest rates are starting to creep up, but are still at a great value.

If we can be of assistance in helping you purchase a home or sell your current one, just give us a call. Our website is rich with information and news feeds about real estate so please use it anytime as a valuable resource for anything about real estate, school districts, neighborhoods etc.

All our best,
