Ok I've mentioned it before...the Colorado Springs economy, in my opinion is in a good place. Builder Magazine already has the Colorado Springs Real Estate market ranked #14 nationally and now this article from The Gazette (The Local Colorado Springs Newspaper).
The article, written by Bill Radford of the Gazette, says" Another sign of the budding economic recovery, February sales tax collections rose 4.74 percent compared with February 2009, the Colorado Springs Financial and Administrative Services Department reported Monday.
February collections reflect consumer and business purchases made in January. It is the fourth straight month of year-to-year increases..."
Obviously this is more empirical evidence that recovery for Colorado Springs is underway. Furthermore, with tax revenues increasing, a rise in real estate prices will follow. Personally speaking, demand for Colorado Springs real estate is up. On numerous occasions we are seeing multple offers and our sellers are getting close to asking price.
One caveat, watch interest rates! With government spending at a record pace, rising deficits and a huge national debt, interest rates may begin to rise soon. Sage advice: Get now while the gettin is good!
