Homes For Sale

Colorado Springs is seeing a slight increase in the homes available for sale with a 26% increase from last year's availability, a positive sign for home buyers.

What kind of homes can you expect? The most common home available is three and four-bedroom single-family detached homes.

10-Year Housing Trend

Colorado Springs home prices have been steadily increasing over the last 10 years, at the rate of 18% per year. The housing inventory is slowly creeping back up which will start to slow the price increase trend.

The housing inventory has continuously decreased through the years with a bump in 2018, then back to decreasing. There is still minimal inventory, and it is slowly coming back but, not quite quick enough for the demand.

Will the Housing Market Crash

Currently, there are no actual signs of the housing market in Colorado Springs crashing. The slight increase in inventory has not slowed down the price increases. Even with low inventory and increasing prices, the market is being balanced by none other than current homeowners.

Homeowners are refinancing to get lower interest rates and smaller mortgage payments; some homeowners are taking this opportunity to cash out some of their equity. Why would homeowners borrow against their equity? They are taking the opportunity to make updates, remodel, and renovate. This is the perfect time for homeowners to take advantage of the record low-interest rates, especially if they plan to sell their home within the next few years. Renovations can be pricey, especially in the current market when materials are also at an all-time high.

Colorado Springs is expected to have one of the hottest real estate markets in 2022.
