The average sold price hit a record of $489,377, up 24.4% (or over $95,000!) from last May. The median sold price hit a record of $432,095 which is up 23.5% (or $82,000!) from last year. Anyone who waited to buy a home will now be paying substantially more, and prices will continue to rise as long as our inventory remains critically low. As of June 3rd, there are only 598 homes for sale in the entire Pikes Peak Region. However, only 248 homes were exiting and had a Colorado Springs mailing address (excluding new construction). At any price point. Of those, only 67 were under $400k. Even still, sales were up 37% last month, so the lack of inventory is not scaring buyers away. If anything, it’s creating an environment of bidding wars and multiple offers. Homeowners may find themselves quite equity rich right now, and can take advantage of that added equity plus the low interest rates to upgrade into a home more fitting to their needs. However, buyers may need to come mentally prepared for the intense competition. It may take a few tries to finally win a home, but we do have some tips (and a winning team!) to help you along the way. Winning strategies for buyers: Inspection Only ask for health & safety repairs Appraisal gap Come to closing with a cash amount to make up for an appraisal shortfall Escalation clauses Escalate your offer to a certain point if other offers are received Our advice: If you are planning to buy, DON’T wait! It may take multiple tries to find you a home, but the longer you wait, the higher the price and higher the interest rate. |
