Did the Home Buyer Tax Credit Deadline Affect APRIL Pending Sales in the Colorado Springs Real Estate Market?

Mariana Wagner — Fri, 07 May 2010 13:23:51 +0000

Did the Home Buyer Tax Credit deadline affect APRIL pending home sales in the Colorado Springs real estate market?

Simple answer: YES.

The majority of Colorado Springs neighborhoods did see a boost in pending sales this April (2010). These numbers were not only higher than March 2010, but in most areas, the number of pending home sales were significantly higher than in April 2009 (which is more reliable data, seeing as home sales usually go up a bit in April, regardless of the incentives to buy).

Let’s take a look at the neighborhoods that saw the greatest surge in pending home sales this April:

Briargate had 59 pending home sales. This is 20 more than March and 18 more than last April.
Central and Downtown Colorado Springs had 62 pending home sales. This is 28 more than March and 21 more than last April.
East Colorado Springs had 65 pending home sales. This is 16 more than March and 23 more than last April.
Marksheffel Area had 20 pending home sales. This is 12 more than March and 8 more than last April. The Marksheffel Area is home to the Claremont Ranch and Banning Lewis Ranch real estate markets.
Old Colorado City had 62 pending home sales. This is 28 more than March and 21 more than last April.
Powers Area had 85 pending home sales. This is 12 more than March and 18 more than last April. The Powers Area is home to the Springs Ranch, Indigo Ranch, Cimarron Hills and Stetson Hills real estate markets.
Southwest Colorado Springs had 59 pending home sales. This is 34 more than March and 22 more than last April. Southwest Colorado Springs is home to the Skyway and Broadmoor real estate markets.

Neighboring Cities:

Fountain Valley had 111 pending home sales. This is 36 more than March and 13 more than last April. Fountain Valley also includes the Colorado Springs areas of Security and Widefield.
Monument and Palmer Lake had 54 pending home sales. This is 23 more than March and 28 more than last April.

So, there should not be any doubt as to the effectiveness of the Tax Credit deadline. However, we should see an increase in closed deals (sales), and so we need to watch the next couple of months to see if we a slow down in pending sales.
