I have received several calls this past week with buyer and sellers looking to do a trade or exchange with their current real estate into another property. In these conversations what I heard was there does not seem to be a lot out there and/or very difficult to locate.
With lending requirements changing fairly rapidly and people looking for creativity in being able to buy or sell properties here are a couple of ideas of properties that are available for a trade or exchange.

Raspberry Mountain Ranch - 35 acres of land in a gated community off of a scenic by-way in Southern Colorado. Underground power & telephone, nice homes in the area, ponderosa pines surround building site with reach out and touch the mountain views. $179,000.

Lago Vistas - 5 acres with city water, underground power/phone & fiber optic cable. Unique community where affordable retirement/getaway is still a reality yet quality has not been comprimised. $76,500.
Colorado Springs Commercial Building. Great Victorian commercial building on a corner lot with an additional residence (both zoned C-5) next door. High visability and upstairs provides living quarters as well. Owner willing to sell/trade all or half. House is currently rented and tenant would like to stay. $400,000. Brand new photo not available yet .
