It’s no secret that Colorado Springs is a great place to invest in or buy a home, but new data suggests that this amazing city is on pace to become one of the hottest housing markets for 2018 according to realtor.com and several other news sources. Already on pace this year to break its home sales record, the Springs will continue to be one of the nation’s hottest housing markets in 2018. Now is a great time for investors, home buyers, and anyone of a similar ilk to purchase homes in the area.
Realtor.com cites the Springs’ proximity to Denver as a big boon to housing sales, as people who work in Colorado’s capital can live nearby for a fraction of the cost. It’s only 70 miles south of Denver, and lots of people commute every single day. So much so that the I-25 highway is extremely crowded on the weekends and it usually takes commuters a whopping 2 hours + to get back home on Friday nights. I should know, I just drove it last week.
But another reason for the high rank: marijuana. Realtor.com cites the legalization of recreational marijuana as a strong reason for the state’s growing economy, though El Paso County, where the Springs is located, doesn’t allow recreational sales.
Market appreciation along with a huge demand for housing has created a whirlwind of hungry buyers who are willing to pay 5 – 10% above the actual listing price to score the deal. We’ve seen similar trends up north, so it’s not surprising to see these types of numbers play out down here in the Springs as well.
Local Real Estate Market Data 2018
The median sales price for homes in CO Springs from May 24 to Aug 23 was $258,400 based on 3,338 home sales. The average price per square foot for the Springs was $176, an increase of 8% compared to the same period last year. This trend will likely continue throughout the entire summer as lack of inventory and hungry buyers spikes pricing even further while the VA writes thousands of loans per month to qualified buyers.
Single-family home sales in the CO Springs, CO area – not counting townhouses and condos – set a record high of 15,318 in 2016, according to Pikes Peak Association of Realtors data. Based on the number of sales each month in 2017, this year’s total should blow past last year’s mark. It’s an extremely exciting time to live and work in the Olympic City, and we should continue to see some steady growth as more buyers move in and big money steps up to take any great investment deals off of the market quickly without any delay.
