Colorado Springs realestate, pricing per square footage

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.

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.
