Colorado Springs real estate remained active in May, with 1,414 new listings hitting the market and 1,017 homes sold. The median sales price reached $489,000, while homes spent a median of just 15 days on the market. With more inventory available and strong buyer activity, our local market continues to offer opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Curious what these numbers mean for your home or your next move? Let's connect!

Overpricing doesn’t just cost you offers. It can cost you the move you need to make.

Over half of agents today say they’re seeing more sellers pull their listings off the market than normal.

And the #1 reason for that? The sellers aren’t getting offers they think are fair.

A lot of the time, those sellers expect to get the sky-high price their neighbors got a few years ago. But that’s not how the market is today.

That means they never get to relocate for a job, have more space for their growing family, or move closer to their aging relatives. All because of their asking price.

Don’t let outdated expectations stall your plans too.

Home affordability is the best it’s been in 4 years.

That’s thanks to: Lower rates. Slower home price growth. And rising wages.

And while the affordability problem isn’t solved, many buyers are finding the numbers work better today.

If buying didn’t make sense for you last year, let's take another look.

If selling didn't make sense for you last year, let's take another look.

You may have heard home prices dipped in some areas this year, but that doesn’t mean your home lost real value. Here’s the context more headlines skip.

While select markets are seeing slight price declines, it’s not happening everywhere. It’s really only happening in markets where prices rose too high, too fast during the pandemic housing boom.

The majority of the country is still seeing prices rise year over year. Not fall.

That’s part of the reason why 96% of homes are still worth more than what their owners paid for them.

The bottom line is: home prices aren’t crashing. And you don’t need to worry about your home’s value.

With how much prices rose these past 5 years, your house is probably worth a lot more than you’d expect, even if you do live in one of the markets where prices are re-adjusting.

If you want an update on your home’s value, send over a message. I’m happy to show you why there's no reason to worry.
