Comment: Average days on market has dropped from 112 days to 84 days - MUCH close to the surrounding area average. However, the number of sold homes dropped by over half and the new homes on the market dropped by about a third. So, even though less homes are selling, the ones that are, are selling quicker.

Monument is the city/town just North of Colorado Springs, in the Tri-Lakes area. Many times, the Monument housing market is lumped together with the rest of Colorado Springs, as it is also a part of El Paso County. However, Monument is not really a part of the Colorado Springs Real Estate market, as it technically a different city.
Comments: Monument really took a beating with all the snow that Southern Colorado got in December and January. Monument got more snow than many other places in El Paso County. This really impacted the Monument Real Estate market, but as the snow melts, the market will thaw. DOM was still under the 6 month mark, so it is still NOT a real Buyer's Market.
