Sheraton Hotel Becomes Crowne PlazaIf you haven't been down to the Southwest part of town around the Tinseltown Movie Theaters lately, you may have not noticed - the hotel that many of us have known for years as the Sheraton (yep, where I had my Junior/Senior Prom) has now become the Crowne Plaza Hotel.  This is the first Crowne Plaza in all of Colorado, another is soon to follow in Denver (which is currently a Holiday Inn).  If you have been around the city for a long time, you may remember when this hotel was the Clarion or (even further back) the Four Seasons Motor Inn. I think the planned $12 million dollar renovation should help update everything, no matter which phase of the "hotel names" it was originally installed in.A partnership between Stamford Real Estate Investments Ltd. of...

If you are relocating to Colorado Springs, and are considering buying a home here, you may be asking yourself "What will my selection be for the price range that I am in?" Here is a market snapshot (as of August 2007) that will give you an idea of what is available in each price range. You will find figures for Colorado Springs and Fountain - both single family homes and town homes and condos.

Here is a guide to how much home you would qualify for based strictly off of known Colorado Springs BAH. There is also an idea of how much home you could afford if you were to pay just an extra $100./month above your BAH. These figures are based off of a 30 year 7% interest fixed mortgage. This guide is meant only to provide an idea of what to expect when you relocate to Colorado Springs. Of course, you may qualify for a higher or lower interest rate and/or a lower or higher priced home - depending on current interest rates, your personal credit and which loan you decide to choose. << Search For Homes In Colorado Springs >>Enlisted Personnel Without DependentsRANKBAHHouse PriceBAH + $100./mo.E01-E4$638$76,799$91,830E05$727$90,176$105,207E06$789$99,495$114,526E07$918$118,885$133,916E08$1...

There was a meeting yesterday of the Independent Brokers Forum at the local board of Realtors (Pikes Peak Association of Realtors).  Two of the hot topics were the following:The first has to do with short sales.  Many brokers have never done a short sale from either side of the transaction and are concerned about the time it takes to get one done.  In this current market we need to be more open to doing things a little differently.  A typical contract can close in 20-30 days but not with a short sale.  If we are open and honest with everyone involved in a short sale transaction about what kind of time it will take to get bank approval, I think we will all benefit.  The second topic and the more surprising to me is what is happening in the rental market.  I talked to two successful prope...

Greenhaven is made up of the Windchime Series homes (on the North end of the neighborhood) and Cottage Series Homes (South end of the neighborhood). These figures were taken from the Pikes Peak MLS and may not include any private sales.Windchime Series:6 Homes for Sale Average Days on Market: 77 (6-160 days) Average List Price: $294,575 ($257,900 - $319,900) 3 Homes Under Contract I Home Sold Days on Market: 63+ days Sold Price: $299,990 Cottage Series:5 Homes for Sale Average Days on Market: 44 (12-68 days) Average List Price: $260,830 ($237,900 - $287,500) 1 Home under contract No homes sold in July Activity has definitely picked up. Warm weather always brings out the home buyers, and att he...

Some of the fondest memories I have are of the years I spent in Germany.  I felt very much at home. There is so much that I miss about it.Fortunately there are many ways to experience some of the things that Germany has to offer, right here in the Colorado Springs area.  There are many places to buy authentic German items, German foods, and we have several nice German restaurants.  One of them is the Schnitzel King in Security, CO. It is very easy to find. If you are driving south on highway 85, turn right on Main Street, the first traffic light. It is in the Fountain Valley Shopping Center, next door to another German establishment -- Die Alpenrose German Deli.From the outside it blends in with the rest of the shops that are situated in that mall. But once you step inside, you know tha...

Most Realtors and certainly most people in the general public don't know what resources are available to them when they are times of need.  Take the local foreclosure hot-line for example.   It is officially called Pikes Peak Foreclosure Prevention Partnership (PPFPP).  PPFPP is run by a group of local volunteers that are experienced in the real estate industry.  The local members are Realtors, Loan Officers, attorneys, and title reps.  When people are facing foreclosure or have general foreclosure questions they can call the hot-line and they will be directed to a trained counselor for further assistance.  The number for the hot-line in Colorado Springs is 719-444-8833.  There is also a state run number which is 1-877-601-HOPE.  I have been involved with the group for about a year now ...

This is an update to my previous post: New Habitat for Humanity Neighborhood at N. Powers Blvd. and E. Woodmen Rd. (Colorado Springs, CO). Today, while running a few business related errands with my youngest son, he fell asleep. So, I decided that this would be a great time to drive by the proposed Woodmen Vistas to get a visual of where this new neighborhood would actually be. Of course, it is still only one very large mound of dirt. On my way home, I decided to call Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity (PPHFH) and find out ALL the details surrounding this new neighborhood in NE Colorado Springs. I spoke with Aimee Liotino - Volunteer Coordinator. I told her that I was interested in learning more about the new Woodmen Vistas neighborhood and she suggested that I speak with Paul Johnson - th...

The city of Colorado Springs has approved a new Habitat for Humanity development in Northeastern Colorado Springs. This new neighborhood will be called Woodmen Vistas and will consists of a little over 9.5 acres and have 3 building phases totaling 67 single family detached homes on lots between 3,325 sf - 13,210 sf. It will be located just north of Woodmen Road, east of Tutt Boulevard and south of Sorpresa Lane, and to the south of the neighborhood of Cumbre Vista. This part of town is brand new - Cumbre Vista has only recently started building and the northern neighbor of Wolf Ranch is barely 2 years old and is still growing. This area is also close to the brand new Penrose St. Francis Medical Center - Hospital (on the S/E corner of Woodmen and Powers). Per the City Planning Department...

Average Days on Market (DOM): 74This is DOWN from 87 in June. High DOM: S/W at 162 Days.Low DOM: OCC at 13 Days. Comment: The closest thing to the "average" was F/V at 81 days.

There is a lot to love about Greenhaven, and here are a few interesting facts that you may find interesting...If you walk around Silverwind Circle once (on the outer sidewalk) you will walk .7 miles.To the north of Greenhaven will be the new Falcon High School. The football field is scheduled to be on the far north part of the school's property - North of the school building and North of the parking lot.There are 248 homes in Greenhaven: 127 Windchime Series in the Northern part and 121 Cottage Series in the Southern Part.John Laing started building in Greenhaven in 2004 and sold their last new Greenhaven home in 2007.Although Greenhaven is technically a part of Stetson Hills, it is a separate neighborhood - per tax records.I hope that you learned something new about Greenhaven!

If you are like me, you have had those days - you are out running errands around town and you need to get online. You're lugging your computer around with you and you start thinking: where's the closest Panera Bread or It's a GrindCoffee Shop? Those are the two places that immediately come to my mind because you know they have free wireless Internet (you have to pay at Starbucks so that is the last option). But what if the only thing you had to look for was a place to sit? A park bench, in the middle of the mall, by the lake at The Broadmoor, a corner booth at Denny's....or any restaurant for that matter. It is possible and there are already cities that are doing it: building wireless networks citywide. That means you could jump online, anywhere in the city, without "plugging in" to a n...
