Real Estate in Colorado Springs has been busy of late, especially in the military communities, like Peterson AFB real estate, which covers the areas of Falcon, Banning Lewis Ranch, the Powers Corridor and the South East.
PCS's Getting Back to Normal
After a slow spring, the fall has really picked up. I've noticed an increase in market activity both as a Buyer's Agent and as a Seller's Agent. For a time, the Air Force really ratched down on PCSing to trim costs. They changed the length of standard Officer tours from 3 years to 4 years. And for a while, almost completely froze any PCS's at all. Looks like the tide has finally broken and people are moving again.
This is great news for both buyers and sellers of Peterson AFB real estate. Buyers get to come into a market that's been sluggish and find some great deals. Sellers are getting more opportunities to show case their homes for a sale.
The biggest trend I've noticed is that many Colorado Springs military relocation clients are looking at the new homes in Banning Lewis Ranch. There are 2 builders in particular that come in right around $250k. They are Today's Homes and Capital Pacific Homes.
Should traditional sellers worry? Not really. The influx of military buyers has been big enough to allow for new home sales and traditional resale homes. Staging and Professional Photography can help sellers compete with the allure of new homes. It's a service we provide at no extra charge for our sellers and makes a big impact on buyers.
