High end foreclosures on the upswing in Colorado Springs
Foreclosures are going upscale across Colorado Springs
Search for Homes in Colorado Springs
Related Articles:
While the high-end numbers are less in Colorado Springs than the lower-priced foreclosures, there has been a growth that reflects a
significant shift in the foreclosure landscape and its underlying causes. Mortgage problems have moved upstream; partially because of economic conditions such as unemployment and stock losses. Also in play is a different type of risky loan called option ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) and interest only loans.
It definitely seems like the focus is shifting as we’re seeing more defaults, foreclosures and short sales in the more-affluent Colorado Springs communities. Some national experts emphasize that the foreclosure numbers don’t reflect the extent of distress at the high end. Banks are more likely to pursue short sales in luxury Colorado Springs luxury homes, in which the homeowner stays put while marketing the home for less than is owed on the mortgage.
Experts agreed that high-end homes take longer to become foreclosures because affluent people have more resources, consequently they likely to extend the time they’re struggling to make payments.
I looked over the Post Sale List dated 8-4-2010 from the El Paso Public Trustee’s office, and there is definitely evidence that foreclosures are going upscale. There was one property over $1,000,000 that was foreclosed on, 1 over $700,000, 1 over 500,000; and several over 300,000. When I compare this to the same list over a year ago, there were no Colorado Springs properties foreclosed on over $300,000.
There are currently 52 Bank-owned properties on the Colorado Springs market over $300,000; including several homes in the Broadmoor area, as well as in homes in Black Forest and in Monument.

Search for Foreclosures and Short Sales in Colorado Springs
Related Articles
My Foreclosure pick of the week is in Rockcreek area south of Colorado Springs on 2220 Paseo Corto.
It is a single family home and includes over 2500 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a 2 car attached garage; as well as a detached 2 car garage. The detached garage doesn’t have a floor or a door; it’s more of a metal enclosure set on the ground than a true garage. The property was built in 1980; and was originally sold for $264,500 in 2003The upsides….. 3 acre lot, beautiful trees and scrub oak on the lot. The house does need some work, which is very typical for a bank owned property.
The downsides ….. very close to Highway 115; you can definitely hear the traffic noise.
The description in the MLS Says: “Unbelievable property with fabulous mountain views. Large property includes a 1000 sq. ft. garage. Home offers hardwood and slate flooring, enclosed back porch. Minutes to Ft. Carson.”
The El Paso County Assessor’s office has it valued at 307,338. At the current list price of $319,900, it may be priced a little over market value, especially considering it is so close to the Highway. There are 14 other properties in the area, priced from $119,900 to $899,900. During the last 6 months, only 2 properties have sold in the same area, ranging from $259,900 to $420,000.

The upsides….. 5 acre lot, expansive floor plan, beautiful valley views with plenty of square footage. It’s very close to Pike National Forest, hiking trails, and only minutes from downtown Monument. It does need quite a bit of work, but at first glance it mainly looks like cosmetic work including new floor coverings, everything needs painted, appliances are needed, deck needs refinished, and the windows look in bad shape. Couldn’t tell about the roof, or the condition of the well or the heating system; all things to be checked out during an inspection.
The description in the MLS Says: “Great opportunity! 4 bed, 2 bath home with over 4,000 square feet! Tons of living space in this house. The main level features formal living and dining rooms, a family room with a fireplace and a spacious kitchen. Kitchen features a breakfast bar and tile counters and backsplash.

Lots of windows and high ceilings throughout the main level.”
The El Paso County Assessor’s office has it valued at $394464. At the current list price of $272.900, it’s priced below market value. There are 3 other properties in the area, priced from $365,000 to $654.000.

Foreclosure in Old Colorado City, Deal or No Deal?
My Colorado Springs foreclosure pick of the week is in Old Colorado City on 2415 W. Platte. It includes over 2300 square feet, with 4
bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car detached garage.
If you are looking for a fixer upper at a reasonable price in the desirable west side of Colorado Springs located close to Garden of the Gods, then this is the property for you.
Even though the property was built in 1948 and a Vintage Home, the property seems to need a fair amount of work. Let’s first start with the main level, carpets need replaced, but I think there may be wood floors under the carpet on the main floor which is always a bonus. The kitchen could use a complete overhaul, but you could probably keep the existing kitchen cabinets, and redo the floor and the put in appliances. There is some cracking in some of the ceilings, so as usual, you’d want a great structural inspection just to make sure it’s structurally sound. And I think all of the walls would benefit from being re-textured and repainted.

Foreclosure pick of the week

My pick of the week is in Palmer Lake on 18710 Cloven Hoof Drive.
It includes over 1500 square feet, with 2 bedrooms, 1 baths, 2 car carport
The property is hidden back off of the road; and if it’s seclusion you want this is the property for you. Like many foreclosures I preview, this one hasn’t had much updating done to it; as well as it needs some additional TLC. It reminded me of a tree house; stuck in the woods with trees everyplace.
It’s on a wonderful wooded lot, but you have to drive up a rutted dirt road to find the place. Definitely secluded and hidden. No garage, but the house is built over a carport; so with some construction expertise you could probably enclose the carport and make it a garage.

The kitchen cabinets looked very well constructed, as at one time I’m sure they were very nice.

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 »

The number of houses in Colorado Springs that are sold for less than $100,000 has continued to increased substantially over the last couple of years. It’s a great time to be an investor in Colorado Springs and it’s a great time for a first-time home buyer to purchase their first home.
Here’s a quick breakdown of houses SOLD under $100,000 and a comparison to previous years: 
01/01/09 to 08/15/09 769
01/01/08 to 08/15/08 540
01/01/07 to 08/15/07 387
01/01/06 to 08/15/06 469
01/01/05 to 08/15/05 471
Many of the these Colorado Springs homes are being bought by investors who buy the home for less than $100,000 and have payments between $650 to $700 a month. Then they turn around and rent out the homes for $800 to $900 a month.
