Colorado Springs Home prices (Denver, Pueblo: refinancing, houses, buy)

[Mike from back east]

Things could be a lot worse. Here's an article from last November detailing 200 housing markets in the USA where the median home price is $1M. Yes, $1M median (equal number of homes above/below $1M). California has 111 such cities, with 46 of them in the San Francisco Bay area.

In COLO SPGS the median home price is $293K.

They're not terrible though. There's probably more options if you go down to no or a one car garage, too.

The townhomes in Rockrimmon look really nice and large, and the community has a nice pool. One thing that's nice about living in a townhome, is that your exterior maintenance expenses are covered by the HOA and often home insurance is lower.

The house listed 17 hours ago in Widefield also looks really nice and comfortable, with a decent sized lot.

In a couple of years, it'll probably be worse. I think I'd be happy that there were still SFHs and larger townhomes in nice enough areas left.

Totally agree. Affordable (relatively) Places like COS are becoming rare. That’s why so many people are moving here.

I like how average people can afford COS. Cities that become unaffordable lose there soul in my opinion.

I think people have raised expectations compared to before the HGTV era. Used to be that most people expected a starter home that likely needed some TLC and not a perfect move-in ready house. So really these homes are not that bad, it is just that now people tend to expect like-new or fully-renovated.

That's a no go ghostrider. I REQUIRE a 2 car garage, it's not optional, and also hell will freeze over before I ever live in another area controlled by some Nazi HOA.

When you look at my list of needs, it really whittles me down to basically nothing.

I was going to ask the same thing.
