Colorado Springs Foreclosure Report for 2009

Here is the Colorado Springs real estate market foreclosure report for 2009.

Colorado Springs saw 1,487 foreclosure or pre-foreclose homes sell in 2009. Foreclosures made up 24% of all homes sales in Colorado Springs last year.

Here is how the foreclosure sales were represented throughout the city:

Colorado Springs Real Estate Foreclosures Graph 2009

Check Out: Colorado Springs Foreclosure and Short Sale Information

How does this break down per area?

Briargate Real Estate Market: 71 foreclosures
12.9% of Briargate home sales were a foreclosure.

Briargate had only 5% of the city’s sold foreclosures. I would attribute this to the general higher price point of the homes in Briargate as well as the fact that most Briargate home buyers have owned a home in the past and had enough mortgage savvy not to get into a “bad loan”. Briargate DID have the least concentration of foreclosures per area.

Central and Downtown Real Estate Markets: 190 foreclosures
32.7% of central and downtown Colorado Springs home sales were a foreclosure.

Central and Downtown Colorado Springs has a lot of smaller homes. Because of this, there are more homes in this area and more opportunities for foreclosure. Additionally, there are a lot of lower priced homes in central Colorado Springs which were very appealing to first time home buyers who maybe should NOT have qualified to buy a home.

Eastside Colorado Springs Real Estate Market: 169 foreclosures
28.5% of eastside home sales were a foreclosure.

Like central Colorado Springs, the Eastside has a lot of smaller and less expensive homes – which gives us more potential for foreclosures in this area.

Northeast Colorado Springs Real Estate Market: 174 foreclosures
24.3% of northeast home sales were a foreclosure.

The Northeast part of Colorado Springs is one of the largest areas of town, with more homes than almost any area.So, although this area was the 4th largest contributor to the city’s foreclosures, it is actually right in line with the city average.

Northwest Colorado Springs Real Estate Market: 44 foreclosures
13.8% of NW Colorado Springs home sales were a foreclosure.

The Northwest part of Colorado Springs wins as having the fewest foreclosures AND the 2nd lowest concentration of forecloses within its area.

Northgate and Flying Horse Real Estate Markets: 48 foreclosures
19.9% of Northgate and Flying Horse home sales were a foreclosure.

The homes in Flying Horse and Northgate are larger, sit on larger lots and generally (like Briargate) are not first-time-home buyer homes. In addition to this, the geographic area is smaller. All of this leads to a very small number of foreclosures.

Old Colorado City and Westside Colorado Springs Real Estate Markets: 88 foreclosures
25.9% of westside and Old Colorado City home sales were a foreclosure.

The Old Colorado City and Westside areas of Colorado Springs sat right at the city average and right in the middle of the scale when representing area foreclosures.

Powers, Marksheffel and Banning Lewis Ranch Real Estate Markets: 315 foreclosures
27.9% of Powers and Banning Lewis Ranch area home sales were foreclosures.

This area contributed the MOST foreclosure sales to the Colorado Springs real estate market in 2009. I attribute this to how new the area is and how many people bought new homes with the Adjustable Rate Mortgage. However, this is one of the largest and most densely packed areas of the city, so the actual ratio of sold homes to foreclosure sales was not much higher than the city average.

Southeast Colorado Springs Real Estate Markets: 289 foreclosures
43.8% of S/E Colorado Springs home sales were foreclosures.

Southeast Colorado Springs was the second highest contributor to the Colorado Springs Foreclosure sale market, at 19%. However, it DID rank the highest for foreclosure sales concentration per area.

Southwest Colorado Springs and Broadmoor Real Estate Markets: 99 foreclosures
20.4% of S/W Colorado Springs and Broadmoor home sales were foreclosures.

Southwest Colorado Springs has a drastic difference in property area types. The eastern part of this area has some of the lowest priced homes in the city, whereas the western parts have some of the most expensive homes ever built and sold in Colorado Springs. This always is “interesting” when trying to accurately compare this area to other real estate markets.

So, although the graph shows that the Powers Area was the largest contributor to foreclosures, it is interesting to note that it was the S/E and Central areas of Colorado Springs that had the highest concentrations of foreclosures sell in 2009.
