Briargate, Colorado Springs

Thanks to my friend, Monika McGillicuddy- New Hampshire Real Estate agent and trainer, I found this great website that will tell you where the cheapest gas in your area is.

Local Gas Prices on MSN Autos

This website is awesome! According to their site (5/10/2008), the cheapest unleaded fuel is $3.43/gallon. The average gas price in Colorado Springs is $3.54 a gallon and the most expensive is $3.69 a gallon.

We currently live in the Colorado Springs neighborhood of Briargate, and the cheapest gas station in town is just a couple blocks away!

At the intersection of Briargate and Union Blvd.’s, there is a Western Convenience gas station on the S/E corner. I have NEVER seen any gas stations beat their pricing… and I drive ALL over town. In fact, the Conoco immediately across the street from this Western Convenience is even usually about 5 cents per gallon MORE EXPENSIVE!

Gas just keeps getting more spendy, so a cheap gas station is always a great find!

I recently wrote a post where I commented that the Colorado Springs Real Estate market home prices were closer to the mark of 2005’s home prices. After further research, I have found that the information sources that I was basing that off of were unreliable, so I removed that post as not to create any confusion, and apologize for any confusion it may have already created.

This is a comprehensive update on how average home sale prices in Colorado Springs compare, from the month of April in 2005 - 2008. I only am comparing April sold data from year to year. The areas that I chose to compare were large parts of Colorado Springs with similar homes within the area and plenty of real estate activity from 2005-2008.

Black Forest Colorado Springs Real Estate Market

• 2005: $296,324
• 2006: $343,178
• 2007: $324,232
• 2008: $415,499

Although there was a decrease of -6% from 2006-2007, the Black Forest real estate market saw an average sale price INCREASE from 2005-2008 of +40%.  That is an average of 13% increase a year!
