We're well into the beautiful summer months, and definitely seeing a rise in buyer interest in the real estate market. With a new month means new local real estate market conditions in El Paso County, Colorado. Check out the market insights of what May looked like and how it may affect you if you are planning on selling or  buying a Colorado Springs home . Average Days On Market As of May, we saw an even lower average of inventory sitting only 25 days on the market, compared to the historically recorded 67 days. The continuing lack of inventory is still leaving buyers with little options, meaning they're jumping at the limited opportunities more quickly. This is leaving the market looking slimmer than last year. Historically, we've seen an average of 8.2 months of inventory, and in May, that number is drastically lower, at only 1.1 months.

One of the best things about living in Colorado Springs is that there are always super awesome community events going on. While some of these events take place to celebrate traditions honored across the nation, our local area has a lot of really cool events that originated here and have been celebrated for years! One of those upcoming events is the 25th Annual Starlight Spectacular ! Check out the details: On a summer night in 1994, a small group of crazy cyclists decided it would be awesome to get up in the middle of the night, ride bikes by starlight and watch the sunrise together. That late night ride led to the birth of an annual tradition, the Starlight Spectacular; which is now one of the nation’s oldest and largest community bike rides. 25th Annual Starlight Spectacular Details Come celebrate “25 years of wild style” June 15th at the Starlight Spectacular night time bike ride in Colorado Springs, beginning and ending at the world-famous Garden of the Gods Park.
