My foreclosure pick of the week is in Monument (located north of Colorado Springs) on 4185 Spaatz Road in Pine Hills in Monument. It’s located west of I-25 and it includes over 4100 square feet, with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a 2 car attached garage.
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. There is a sunroom off of the family room which offers tons of natural light for the kitchen and family room area. Basement offers a large rec room and an office. 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. During the last 6 months, 4 comparable homes in Monument have sold in the same area, ranging from $275,000 to $406,500; averaging $110.00 per square foot.

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.

My foreclosure pick of the week is Monument on 19990 Chisholm in the Woodcrest area of Monument. It includes over 4500 square feet, with 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and a 3 car attached garage. The property was built in 1992; It is a 2 story, and incl
udes a finished basement.
The Upsides
Nice floor plan with plenty of space. Stunning fireplace with floor to ceiling brick, an amazing den with lots of wood and built in shelves. Formal Dining room, gourmet kitchen, open floor plan, plenty of room for a family. Wonderful wood floors on the main level.
The Downsides
Could use some updating, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. Carpet could also use replaced. But for a bank-owned property, it’s in really good shape.
The Facts
The description in the MLS says: 5 bedroom, 4 bath, 3 car two-story located in Woodcrest with mountain views! 
Country kitchen with hardwoods, island and nook, 5-piece master bath, formal living and dining rooms, finished basement. Neutral Colors. Close to schools and I25.”
The El Paso County Assessor’s office has it valued at $478,000. At the current list price of $374,000 it’s currently priced below market.

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.
