Colorado Springs Real Estate Facts & Fun

Diligence Pays Off

It has been a while since I have written my last blog post.  I have been showing houses downtown, West side, out in Falcon and investment property on the Southwest side.  What I appreciate about this is it keeps me up to date with the market, what is available and what is a good deal.

Downtown:  After looking at all the houses for sale with the specific criteria including being updated, 2 bedroom, 2 bath and a garage as a minimum, we found the house. We had an offer in and accepted the first day it was on the market.  Through the inspection we discovered the hot water heater and furnace are up there in age.  The solution we used is a Home Warranty for the house which covers all mechanical aspects for the house up to 14 months.  Sellers needed two months before their new home was ready and buyer was happy to provide a lease back after closing to help out.

Falcon:  It has been a busy couple of weeks going and previewing homes for sale in Falcon as my buyers are back home and will be moving to Colorado Springs the first week of June.  We stay connected with inventory and now have three homes to take photos and make decisions from.

Investment Property.  Nice size house in terrific tucked area with huge trees and yet quick access to downtown, interstate and the west side.  The investment property offer was presented and has been accepted. 

West Side:  The West side homes are actively being looked at as new inventory comes on the market daily.  Today we head off to look at new house on the market and walk a builder model as a possibility. 

All of these are successful because of the collaboration between the buyers, sellers, listing and sellng agents.  Everyone has been incredible with what they bring whether it be wanting/needing new home, selling a home, warranties, keeping up with inventory and all working together.  Life seems to work so much better with that approach.
