There are many different ways to evaluate Colorado Springs schools, but one measurement is the graduation rate. The percentages are based on a federal formula that takes the number of students receiving a regular diploma divided by the number of students who started 9th grade + students transferred in – students transferred out. Graduation rates are one indicator of whether the local Colorado Springs public school system is doing what it is intended to do: enroll, engage, and educate youth.
The complete reports are on the Colorado Department of Education web site, and you can download the data into an Excel Spreadsheet. For someone who loves statistics (which is me), it’s full of amazing information including the graduation rates by gender and by race; and you can even pull data by each High School in the districts. As an example, in District 11, Mitchell High School has a Read the rest of this entry »

One of the many factors involved in relocating to a new area are the schools and the quality of education. There are many good schools districts in Colorado Springs, but I often have people ask me about the private schools; hence I thought I’d put together this info to share. This is only a partial list, but it does include the larger Private Schools in Colorado Springs. Also, as part of the research of putting together this article, I found a great web site on Private Schools, www.privateschoolreview.com. The site includes info on the number of students, number of teachers, teacher-student ratio, tuition cost; and much more.

In today’s age of Internet savvy buyers, the pictures of a property that are posted online are everything. And lately it seems like more and more buyers focus just as much on the outside of the property, including the landscaping, the backyard, the deck, the hot tub, the views, the front porch; just as much as they focus on the inside of the property. They are buying more than a home, they are buying a lifestyle.
Many buyers moving to Colorado Springs are doing so because they want to enjoy the beautiful views and the outside space; yet over and over I see listings that don’t include any outdoor pictures. Too bad for the sellers, as the outside can be just as important as the inside.

Trulia recently purchased a mapping technology that draws statistics and inputs this information into a map. One of the many challenges of being a Realtor that specializes in Colorado
Springs relocation, is that people coming into the city want to know where it is safe to live; and where are the major areas of crime. Since I’m bound by Fair Housing Laws, I have to be extremely careful of what type of information I share, as I’m not allowed to “discriminate” against particular neighborhoods. But I can certainly direct potential buyers to different web sites that will help them gather their own information and make their own informed decisions.
Trulia new acquisition draw statistics from 3 different data sources that report to most the police agencies in the country, SpotCrime, Crime Reports, and EveryBlock. This data is then used to power the results in the maps. The Crime Map is still in currently in beta form and currently only covers 50 major metropolitan areas. It will eventually be a great resources for people moving to Colorado Springs.
Here’s a list of some of the other web sites that I share with potential buyers:
- CBI website http://cbi.state.co.us/ — Gives you everything from registered sex offenders to crime stats.
- http://www.neighborhoodscout.com — When you put in an address for a Colorado Springs neighborhood, it gives you all types of information about the area, including crime stats, a general overview of the area, as well as school information.
- http://www.NeighborhoodScan.com – This site gives you extremely detailed information about sex offenders.
- http://www.spotcrime.com – Maps out crime occurrences, and allows you to pull up details on specific crimes.
- http://www.crimereports.com — Also gives you extremely detailed information about sex offenders.
- http://www.relocationessentials.com — Compares crime in Colorado Springs vs. the national average. As an example, it shows you that Colorado Springs has less homicide and burglaries than the national average.

How accurate are real estate listings on the Internet?
It’s on the Internet, it must be correct

As a Buyer’s Agent in Colorado Springs, I work with many buyers from all parts of the world looking to relocate to Colorado Springs. The Internet is a wonderful tool for buyers, as they can find out so much information about the Colorado Springs area as well as check for 
potential homes. BUT, not every home listing they find on the Internet is correct.
Each Realtor is typically responsible for inputting their home listings in the local MLS system, which is called PPAR in the Colorado Springs area. Many Realtors have office administrators or assistants that input the data for them; but the Realtor is ultimately responsible for the the information. Even though most Realtors strive to have the information correct, it’s extremely easy to get something wrong. I’m guessing that the average listing has 100 to 150 fields of data that need to be filled in; which leaves alot of room for error.
But even more important than the initial input of all of the data about a home, is all of the places the information gets distributed to line. Every web site has a different way they get their information and different ways their information gets updated. As an example, as a member of PPAR, my listings get distributed to Zillow and Trulia and Realtor.com. But there are many, many other web sites out there; and some of them get updated more often than others. According to a recent quote in the Wall Street Journal, “21% of the data agents individually submit for posting on real estate websites isn’t updated when changes are made to the price or when the property is sold, according to a report released last month by listing web sites, Trulia.com”
Remember, just because it is online doesn’t make it accurate

HUD sent out a press release last week about their new web site, www.hud.gov/datamap. The new site uses data from the Census Bureau, Labor Department, state and local governments, housing industry sources, as well as HUD’s own field economists. 
One of my my favorite features is that it has an interactive map, where you can click on particular sections of the country. Colorado is in Region VII. Once you get into the market at a glance section, there is an amazing wealth of information, all in easy to read charts. Here’s some of the info I picked up from the site about El Paso County and housing in the US.
- As of 2008, 32% of the population is renters. vs 68% were owners.
- The population in El Paso County as of 2008 was 616,975
- The average rent for apartments in the area was $695
- In the United States, the average price of a house in 2009 was 172,500.
- Homeowner rates increase by the age of the homeowner. As an example, 80% of people over the age of 65 own their own house, vs. 52% for homeowners between the age of 30 to 34.
What I didn’t like about the site is that there are Comprehensive Market Analysis Reports, but the report for Colorado Springs was from 2007, and market conditions have changed immensely from 2007 to 2010.

Occasionally I work with a buyer who is overseas and is intersted in Relocating to Colorado Springs and buying a property that they won’t be able to see in person. Wow, scary stuff for everyone involved. Even with all of the amazing info now available on the Internet, it still doesn’t take the place of seeing the property in person. Here’s some of the additional steps I take, as a Colorado Springs Realtor, to help make sure the buyer gets the most accurate information possible.
- Pictures, pictures and more pictures (and then even more pictures)
I take pictures of everything I can see, including the roof, the furnace, the hot water heater, everything in house. I take pictures of the neighborhood up and down the street, the next door neighbors, the neighbors across the street, the neighbors behind the house, the parks, the schools, the shopping areas that are close by. I try to create the same experience for the buyer that they would have when they actually came visit the house.

How to avoid information overload when looking at houses
Information overload can be avoided
Search for Homes in Colorado Springs
Related Buyer and Seller Articles:
Since I work with many buyers, I’m always thinking about how I can help the average Colorado Springs first time home buyer look for a home. One of the biggest challenges for first time home buyers is information overload. How do they keep all the information straight? At the end of a full day of showings, how do they remember what they saw?
Here are my top 6 tips to help the Colorado Springs first time home buyer:
- Keep notes on each house as you go through it. Why do you like it, what needs work? What’s the good, the bad, and the ugly?
When you get in the car, write everything down you can about the house. You may think you’ll remember the information later in the day, but if you write it down you know you’ll remember the key points. - Nickname the house. The “bright” house. Or the “70’s house” with the shag carpeting. Or the “cul-de-sac” house. Nicknaming the house will help you keep them straight. After seeing 10 – 15 houses in a day it becomes confusing. All the houses run together.
- If you don’t like the house, get rid of the paperwork or cross it off. (no reason to keep unneeded paperwork as it just adds to the information overload.)
- Take pictures to help you remember the houses and the features you like.
- As you go through the day seeing houses, rank the homes. On a scale of 1 to 10, which house is a 9 or a 10? Write this information down on the MLS property sheet.
- Write down all the pluses and minuses of each home on single piece of paper. That way you can look at all of information on one single sheet vs. flipping thru 20 different sheets.

Explanation of Days on Market
One of the many ways all Realtors judge their local real estate market is by the Days on Market. If properties are selling quickly, the market is heating up. If homes take a long time to sell, the market is slow.
Let’s first start with some definitions: Days on Market (DOM) in real estate is defined as the number of days a property has been on an Active status in the Multiple Listing Service. The average days on market for single family homes in Colorado Springs for the last quarter ending September 2009 is currently 77 days. For Condos and townhomes it is 97 days.
But an important thing to remember is this number varies on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood and it also varies by different price categories. As an example:
- Briargate Days on Market: 80 (vs. 99 in 2008)
- Central Days on Market: 64 (vs. 79 in 2008)
- Manitou Springs Days on Market: 75 (vs. 124 in 2008) Read the rest of this entry »

Did you know ?
- Colorado is an “actual knowledge” state, which means as Colorado Realtors we only need to disclose facts that we know and we must disclosure material facts. Some states are “imputed knowledge states”, which means Realtors are expected to know certain things.
- Most Realtors in Colorado list properties for sale in their local MLS and ask for 1% for Earnest Money. Some areas in the U.S. ask closer to 10% for Earnest Money.
- The majority of Colorado Springs homes get listed in some type of MLS database; and many homes get listed in multiple MLS’s. There are some major cities in the U.S. that don’t have an MLS.
- Colorado doesn’t have dual agency. Many states still have dual agency. In Colorado you can only be an agent for either the Buyer or the Seller, you can not be an agent for both. Read the rest of this entry »

1. Miami, FL
2. Lincoln, NE
3. Colorado Springs, CO
4. Salem, OR
5. San Luis Obispo, CA
According to the article, foreclosure home sales in Colorado Springs are only 20% of the transactions and sales activity is up 14%. Not sure if I agree with their analysis, as in some zip codes in the city foreclosures sales are only 5% and in other areas, it’s probably closer to 40%; but regardless it’s always nice to see national recognition in a positive way for Colorado Springs.

Beware, it’s lightening time in Colorado Springs
Did you know that Colorado and Florida lead the way for the most lightening related deaths last year?
For a Free Colorado Springs Relocation Guide, Email Kathy Torline at KTorline@msn.com
I work with many people who are looking at relocating to Colorado Springs, and tho
ught it would be a good idea to do a quick blog about lightening in Colorado. Colorado has an average of 16 lightening related injuries a year and 3 deaths a year, all due to lightening. For those statistics people out there, there is a entire web site devoted to lightening to Colorado.
When thunder roars, go indoors!
It’s such a serious problem in Colorado, Governor Ritter has proclaimed a week in June the Colorado Lightning Safety and Wildfire Awareness Week. Here’s some facts about lightening in Colorado:
-
Thunderstorms are most likely from April to September, peaking in July. Though mountain thunderstorms are most common during mid afternoon, the first lightning strikes can occur before noon.
- Fifty percent of all known Colorado lightning casualties happen in one of four places: on mountain summits, under a lone tree, in wide-open areas and on lakes.
Lighting safety suggestions:
- If you hear thunder, go inside a building or get inside a hard-topped vehicle.
- If you are outside, avoid open spaces. Don’t be the tallest object in an area.
- Stay away from isolated trees, towers, or utility poles.
- Stay away from metal conductors including fences and wires; lightening can travel a long distance through metal.
- Make yourself as small as possible. Never lie flat on the ground.
