Colorado Springs Real Estate

By The KCM Crew One of the most interesting revelations of the latest National Association of Realtors (NAR) Existing Home Sales Report is the shortage of housing inventory being reported throughout much of the country.

By The KCM Crew A recent survey showed that 3 out of 4 future home buyers (who are not first time buyers) plan to move up to some form of a ‘better’ home. The breakdown: Move to a significantly bigger home (49%) Move to a nicer home (17.5%) Move to a nicer part of town (8.6%) If you or your family falls into any one of these categories, you should strongly consider making the move sooner than later.

By The KCM Crew Many potential buyers are waiting until they can be 100% sure the real estate market has fully recovered before making the move to purchase a home. Here are five reasons why waiting might not make sense any longer: 1.) Prices Are on the Rise The latest Case Shiller Home Price Index revealed that home prices have appreciated 5.5% over the last year.
