colorado springs homes: Keeping The Warm Air Inside
- 10/15/08 07:18 AM
When the furnace kicked on this morning, our sweet dreams were interrupted by that alarming sound of money figuratively being burned. Last night the predicted low was 32 degrees, and while our area has plenty of warm spells in fall, winter is on its way. Energy bills are sure to be sky-high this winter. We're fortunate to have our utilities through Colorado Springs Utilities; the company works very hard to keep rates as low as possible, but even with their efforts, rate increases are slated for 2009. We thought we'd list some web sites that give conservation and savings ideas. You probably have heard of or … (4 comments)

colorado springs homes: Location, Location Location - It Applies To New Homes, Too
- 10/02/08 06:30 AM
Location, location, location... It's long been a tag line of real estate - and for good reason. A good, or great, location will help a home's appreciation, and will make it far easier to re-sell. Think of the popular subdivisions in your area, where buyers and agents are always hoping for homes to come on the market. So why do so many people disregard location when buying a brand new home?
A brand new home is exciting (just as is that new car smell). As the first owner, you're not buying anyone else's problems or questionable taste. Even if you didn't get to pick your decor, … (1 comments)
colorado springs homes: The "Average" Colorado Springs Home
- 09/15/08 06:26 AM
During August 2008, the average sold price of a single family home through our MLS was $235,098. Even though it's impossible to gauge an "average" home, we looked for a snapshot.
Seven single family homes sold for $235,000 through our MLS in August. We did a little filtering by: Style. One of those was a rather unique Victorian, and another was a 1953 home, that hadn't been updated, in the Southwest area of Colorado Springs Days on the market. One home sold in two days. It was aggressively priced, in pristine condition, beautifully decorated and staged, and had impressive landscaping and views. Another was on … (0 comments)

colorado springs homes: Xeriscaping
- 06/05/08 06:46 AM
In the Pikes Peak area's semi-arid climate, (we're classified as High Alpine Desert) it makes sense to explore alternatives to fussy, always thirsty plants. You can still enjoy blooms and foliage by employing Xeriscaping principles - it's not about having a drab, plant-less yard. And, it's not an all-or-nothing situation, either: you can reap many benefits by partial or gradual implementation. By using Xeriscaping methods, you not only save money and precious water, but you can spend less time and angst maintaining your garden and more time on other interests.
Don't know much about Xeriscaping? Colorado Springs Utilities will host a class this Saturday, June … (1 comments)

- 04/03/08 08:10 AM
A record was set in the housing market, but it wasn't in the United States. The Times of London reports the recent sale of a London penthouse for between 115 and 120 million pounds (approximately 230-240 million US dollars), the most expensive residential property ever sold. The flat, in London's of St James's Square, is located smack dab between 10 Downing Street and Buckingham Palace. And, with approximately 20,000 square feet, there will be plenty of room for guests who wish to visit London's prime attractions.
