Price Per square foot has BIG variances in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs realestate, pricing per square footage

For a free market analysis on your neighborhood and home, Email Kathy at KTorline@msn.com
Colorado Springs realestate is just like any other city in that average prices vary vastly in different areas. The local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) breaks down the City into different areas, and within each area there are many different neighborhoods. As part of putting together monthly market statistics, I also put together info on average price per square footage and average price per FINISHED square footage. As you can tell from the info below, average square footage pricing varies vastly in different parts of Colorado Springs. This information is a broad base guideline, as within each area, neighborhoods pricing can vary immensely.
The southwest area, which includes homes in The Broadmoor Area, and homes in Manitou Springs are the highest prices per square foot and homes in Old Colorado City are currently the cheapest per square foot. Homes in the Northeast area, which includes Vista Grande and Pulpit Rock are in the middle of the pack with an average price per square foot of $93.00.

There are currently some unique bank-owned houses for sale in Northwest Colorado Springs. I saw 2 homes over the weekend in Northwest Colorado Springs, in the Southface neighborhood, not far from Vindicator and Centennial. Both of them were the same floor plan, although one had a bigger basement on it than the other one
The first property, on Bear Cloud, is located on a nice lot, but the back yard does back up to a busier road. Nice open floor plan, with a large free standing brick fireplace that greets you as you enter in the property.

It includes over 3,000 square feet, with 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 car garage. The property was originally foreclosed on in October 2008. The living room has expansive windows on the southerly side. There is a nice open kitchen (of course most of the appliances have been stripped out) and it includes a good size space for a kitchen table. No formal dining room, which may or may not work for potential buyers. Large master bedroom at 17 x 15 with a 5 pc. attached bath. There may be possible structural issues on the back wall of the basement, a potential buyer would want a thorough inspection as well as a structural engineering report. The basement included 2 bedrooms and another full bath. Priced vary attractively for the square footage.

This is a continuation of an article I recently posted about my favorite townhomes and condos in Northwest Colorado Springs. There are some very attractive deals in the townhome/condo market; as they seem to have been hit even harder on pricing than single family homes. Here’s some more of my favorite properties I’ve recently previewed.
Condominimus in RavenCrest in Northwest Colorado Springs: Wonderful complex off of West Woodmen Road; very
close to I-25. There are currently a couple of 1 bedroom 1 bath units on the market for less than $75,000; and a 2 bedroom 2 bath units that is bank-owned for less than $110,000. There also is a HUD repo for sale that is listed as under contract which is a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit priced under $75,000. Not very long ago the 2 bedroom 2 bath units were going for over $130,000. Included with the great location, the units are in the District 20 school district and include an outdoor swimming pool and a club house; although none of them includes garages, just carport spaces.
Arbours at Mountain Shadows: One of my favorite complexes in northwest Colorado Springs, again close to Garden of the Gods and I-25; easy access. Most units have an over-sized attached 1 car garages with direct access to the living area; perfect for the security minded homeowners and are close to Ute Valley Park and Garden of the Gods. Very well maintained complex with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, and a hot tub. There are 4 units currently for sale ranging from $125,000 to $170,000 and the HOA’s are less than $200.00 a month.

There are some very attractive deals in the townhome/condo market; as they seem to have been hit even harder on pricing than single family homes. Here’s a sample of some of my favorite properties I showed over the weekend.
Townhomes in Holland Park: Newer units, some were just finished in 2006. Close to Garden of the Gods and I-25; easy access to the Interstate. Tons of space for a townhome, as many of the units have 2 car garages, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, with almost 1500 square feet. One bank-owned unit is priced at less than $150,000. Amazing value for all this square footage. Some of these units originally sold for $180,000 to $200.000.
Townhomes in Pinecliff: One of my favorite areas of town, in a secluded neighborhood on the bluffs. The area is visited by local wildlife; and portions of Pinecliff have amazing view, all close to I-25 and Garden of the Gods.

Colorado Springs Luxury Homes are hit by foreclosures
Colorado Springs Luxury Homes — Foreclosures (Part II)
Even in affluent neighborhoods, foreclosures are beginning to appear more frequently
Wow, if only homes could talk ………………….. I previewed a variety of homes this week in Colorado Springs, ranging from a cute home in the East part of the city that was listed at $155,000 to one that was listed at $725,000. My favorite home of the day was an a
mazing Italian Villa type home in Northwest Colorado Springs. It was located on a breathtaking wooded lot, .85 of an acre, in one of my favorite Northwest Neighborhoods, Oak Hills.
If you want to receive a FREE copy of my favorite foreclosures in the city, email KTorine@msn.com
The property was originally built in 1987, but according to some of the information I found in previous listings, it went through extensive remodels in 2001.
The home was a little deceiving from the outside, looked nice but not
anything special. In fact, the outside paint color was a little odd to me, a pale yellow. Once the front doors opened, the first thing I saw was the circular hardwood stairway, great entryway. Other amenities at the home include 3 fireplaces, and many, many, many decks.One of my favorite things were the unique children’s room. First there was the “Ocean Room” with artistic painted murals on the walls, almost felt like I was walking into an aquarium. And the finishing touch was the life preserver on the ceiling.
