Colorado Springs Real Estate: Market Report – October 2007

The Colorado Springs Real Estate Housing Market has remained pretty steady from September to October of 2007. Homes in Colorado Springs are still selling around the 3 month mark, and even selling for very close to asking price. Lets take a look at the data:

• Average Days on Market (DOM): 85
• This is UP from 84 day from September.
• Median Days on Market: 88 Days
• High DOM: FAL at 142 Days.
• Low DOM: OCC at 58 Days.

Comment: FAL consists of neighborhoods just east of Colorado Springs, like Woodmen Hills, Meridian Ranch and Paint Brush Hills.

• Average Sale Price (SP): $258,207
• This is DOWN from $292,194 in September.
• Median Sales Price: $233,958
• High Sales Price: TRI at $440,833
• Low Sales Price: WES at $136,130

Comment: There definitely was a drop in average sales from September, but 9 out of the 16 Colorado Springs Neighborhoods included in this market report actually went UP in average sales price.

• List Price to Sale Price Ratio (LP/SP): 97.78%
• Median LP/SP Ratio: 98.22%
• High LP/SP: BRI at 101.41%
• Low LP/SP: MAN at 94.12%

Comment: The Colorado Springs housing market has a very healthy LP/SP ratio, overall. There are a lot of new home communities in Briargate (BRI) that can skew the LP/SP ratios for that neighborhood. See, Colorado Springs home builders often put the base price of a home in the MLS and then the actual sold price (including upgrades) when it sells. There is nothing wrong with this, but it can easily put the ratios over 100%.

In October 2007:

• 674 homes went on the market (F/V had the most new homes on the market at 76 homes)
• 237 homes went under contract (PWR had the most homes go under contract at 39 homes)
• 178 homes sold (N/E had the most homes sold at 30 homes)
