5 reasons to get a building permit - 08/04/09 06:29 AM
Building Permits are Important 
I recently attended an inspection at a home in Colorado Springs for a client who lives out of state; and one of the first things the inspector said to me is that he noticed the basement had been finished without a building permit.   These are not words that any Realtor wants to hear, it can definitely cause some problems and discussions with a potential buyer.   Hence, I thought I'd type up my top 5 reasons that additions and basement finishes without permits can cause problems:

Foreclosed homes discounted by 50%? Not in Colorado Springs - 08/04/09 06:18 AM
Foreclosure bargains?
Many home buyers say that foreclosures are a bargain and are increasingly eager to buy them, according to a Harris Interactive survey conducted for Trulia.com and RealtyTrac.
The survey found that 55 percent of U.S. adults are at least somewhat likely to consider purchasing a foreclosed home, up from 47 percent who answered the same question in November 2008.  Although I don't have any data to back this up, I think these numbers seem very similar to what I'm finding in the Colorado Springs area from home buyers.
The report is also full of interesting tidbits, including that 40 … (1 comments)
