FAQ
Questions people ask.
Here are the questions I hear most often. If you do not see yours, reach out — I am always happy to talk.
Who is the best realtor in Colorado Springs?
The best realtor for you is someone who understands your specific needs, communicates clearly, and has the experience to guide you. With 19 years in Colorado Springs real estate, I focus on every type of buyer and seller — from first-time buyers to luxury properties, military families to estate sales. The best way to find out if I am the right fit is to have a conversation. No pressure, no obligation.
Who should I call for real estate questions in Colorado?
I am always happy to answer real estate questions, whether you are ready to buy or just exploring. You can call me at (719) 685-6350 or send me an email. I believe in being a resource for my community, not just a salesperson.
How much is my Colorado Springs home worth?
Home values depend on location, condition, size, and current market conditions. I provide free, no-obligation Comparative Market Analyses (CMAs) that use real data from recent sales in your area. Contact me and I will prepare one for you.
What is the first step in buying a home?
The first step is getting pre-approved with a lender. This tells you exactly what you can afford and makes your offer much stronger when you find the right home. I work with trusted local lenders who will take great care of you.
How long does it take to buy a home in Colorado Springs?
From finding the right home to closing, the process typically takes 30-45 days. VA loans may take slightly longer. The home search itself depends on your timeline and what is available in your price range.
Do I need a home inspection on new construction?
Absolutely yes. Even brand-new homes can have issues with foundation settling, incomplete work, or code shortcuts. A third-party home inspection is one of the best protections you have as a buyer.
What are closing costs in Colorado?
Closing costs in Colorado typically run 2-5% of the purchase price. This covers appraisal fees, title insurance, lender fees, and other services. In some cases, the seller may contribute to closing costs as part of the negotiation.
Can I buy a home with no down payment?
Yes. VA loans require zero down payment for eligible service members and veterans. There are also down payment assistance programs available in Colorado for qualifying buyers.
What neighborhoods are most popular in Colorado Springs?
Briargate, Northgate, Cordera, and Falcon are among the most popular areas, with strong schools and community amenities. The right fit depends on your commute, school preferences, and budget. I can help narrow it down.
How is the Colorado Springs market right now?
As of mid-October 2026, the Colorado Springs market is balanced and trending buyer-friendly. The Pikes Peak Association of Realtors September snapshot shows a median sale price around $450,000 on 1,101 closed sales, with listing medians running closer to $495,000 and Redfin's trailing three-month median near $460,000. Median days on market sit around 42 to 48, inventory stands near 4,300 homes with supply around 3.8 months, and prices have held essentially flat for about four years. Roughly half of listings carry price adjustments, while about 14% still sell above asking. On October 4, The Gazette characterized the market as shifting toward buyers, with rising inventory and declining sales. Major developments like the Elevate Downtown master plan ($2.5 billion approved August 4), the Banning Lewis Ranch 5,000-home expansion, and the Colorado Connector passenger-rail measure on the November ballot point to strong long-term demand.
