The Colorado Springs Real Estate market offers many opportunities for buying a home, regardless of the current market conditions. One of these opportunities lies in the time of year that you choose to buy a home.

I did some research on different Colorado Springs neighborhoods and found that there are definitely better times to BUY a home than others. I chose to use the Powers area of Colorado Springs to illustrate my point. The Powers area is very consistent with most other neighborhoods and is a huge part of this  Real Estate market.

The Powers area is home to the D-49 neighborhoods of: Claremont Ranch, Greenhaven, Stetson Hills, Springs Ranch, Cimarron Hills and Cimarron Eastridge and is defined by the areas of Woodmen(N), Powers (S), Marksheffel (E) and Platte/Hwy24 (S).

BUYERS:

The best time to buy a home in Colorado Springs is in June. This is when there is the largest selection of homes for sale on the market and the least amount of sales.

Buying a home in June is like eating a late lunch at a restaurant. Have you ever gone to lunch at about 1:30pm - after the lunch rush? You get sat immediately (no crowd) and your food arrives almost immediately (the cooks are still in rush-rush mode). This is the same concept with the local real estate market:  Sellers are still dumping homes into the market like crazy, trying to get a part of the Spring "boom" action, so you will have quite a selection of homes for sale. You will also have less competing offers on the smokin' deals, as there are less other buyers to compete with.

Buyer Tip: When looking for a home in June, look for homes that have already been on the market for about 2-3 months. Chances are these home Sellers overpriced their home and missed the Spring "boom" window, so now they are frustrated it didn't sell and motivated to get it SOLD quick = better negotiations for you!
