In speaking with buyers in today's Colorado Springs Real Estate market, the most important question I ask is how long is the investment period. Meaning how long do they plan in staying in their home.
Even though this is a loaded question, the answer is important to determining what is the right option for them. If I get an answer that tells me that it is a short term investment, I do recommend that they carefully evaluate their situation further to determine what the outcome will be if they do not realize a return.
Certainly I believe that values will increase...in the longer term. I also believe that there is real risk in realizing gain in the short term.
Yet another example of when the Colorado Springs real estate market will recover is found in the Inman News article dated July 7, 2010. As mentioned in the article, there are a number of factors playing into the time expected for full recovery.
On the other hand if the hold period is longer, say 3-5 years or more, the stars have aligned and are producing some terrific opportunities: Low prices and all time low rates. If you fit into this category, buying now in Colorado Springs will, in my opinion, prove to be a good move looking back.
Real estate has always proven to be a solid investment. This time around will prove to be no different except that we now nave deflated values and low rates to which we can leverage future benefits. If you plan to stay in the area, go ahead and buy now, you will be paying rent anyway.
