February Market Update – Colorado Springs
The market is active and moving.

In the last 7 days:
• 352 new listings hit the market
• 365 price reductions — sellers are adjusting
• 178 homes went under contract
• 194 homes are pending
• 225 homes closed — congrats to those new homeowners

Current inventory:
• 3,435 total properties in the MLS
• 2,873 single-family homes
• 1,573 homes within Colorado Springs city limits

Buyers are active, sellers are motivated, and opportunities are there for both sides.

Thinking rent vs. buy?
Even with modest down payments, homeownership continues to build long-term equity that renting simply doesn’t.

Interest rates update:
FHA & VA rates are now in the low 5s and in some cases high 4s depending on credit and down payment.

If you’re considering buying, selling, or just want to understand what these numbers mean for you, let’s talk.

If you’re planning to sell next spring or in early 2026, now is the time to start preparing. Getting a head start means less stress later — and a smoother, faster sale when the market heats up.

Here are the top areas of your home to focus on now:
➡️ Curb Appeal: Clean up landscaping, refresh your front door, and plan for any exterior paint touch-ups once weather allows.
➡️ Kitchen & Bathrooms: These spaces sell homes. Consider small updates like new fixtures, lighting, or cabinet hardware.
➡️ Floors & Walls: Fresh paint and clean or replaced flooring instantly boost your home’s appeal.
➡️ Repairs: Tackle the leaky faucets, squeaky doors, or dated light fixtures while you have time.
➡️ Declutter & Organize: Clear out closets, storage, and garages — future buyers love open space.

By starting now, you’ll have the time to space out projects, stay on budget, and hit the market looking your best when buyer activity peaks.

📅 Want a personalized prep checklist? I can help you prioritize which updates will bring the best return in your neighborhood.

Listen up, trick-or-treaters (and parents)! After years in the military and on the police force, I’ve learned a thing or two about planning, safety, and keeping things fun.

Here’s your mission this Halloween:

1. Collect candy responsibly — inspect before enjoying!
2. Dress the part — scary, funny, or classic, but stay safe.
3. Approach haunted houses like a pro — caution first, fun second.

Remember: Halloween is all about family, community, and making memories. Have fun, be safe, and may your candy stash be plentiful!
