Guide to Colorado Springs Real Estate


Considering a life surrounded by the awe-inspiring Pikes Peak and the majestic Garden of the Gods? Colorado Springs, growing by almost 70% in three decades and crowned as one of Colorado's top places to live, beckons.

Why Colorado Springs?


  • Be a part of the illustrious "Olympic City USA", headquarters for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee. Athletes from all over train here!

  • Choose from diverse living spaces, be it master communities like Woodmen Hills, vintage havens like Old North End, or budget-friendly homes in Springs Ranch.

However, be wise! The cost of living isn't low. Prioritize a budget that complements the beautiful lifestyle here.


Steps to Your Colorado Springs Home


  1. Budgeting: Median home price? $450,000. Ideal down payment? 20% or $90,000. Yet, options for as little as 3% down ($13,500) are accessible.

  2. Preapproval: In just 15 minutes online, you can know your borrowing capacity. A crucial step!

  3. Lender Hunt: Explore offers from multiple Colorado mortgage lenders. The best deal awaits!

  4. Seek Expertise: Homes here sell swiftly, usually within 23 days. Partner with a savvy local agent, like yours truly, to avoid pitfalls and stand out in bids.

  5. House Hunt: Be ready for compromises. Prioritize must-haves over nice-to-haves. Once you find "the one", I'll help you make an irresistible offer.

  6. Inspection and Appraisal: Ensure the house's integrity and its value. Small investments now prevent big regrets later.
