Colorado Springs Home Builders - Building Permits January thru April 2008

New homes for sale in Colorado Springs have slowed down since the boom of the last few years. The biggest change that we have seen in the new home market is the drop in ˜inventory homes - meaning: if you want to buy a new home, you will need to ˜dirt start it. Building homes before they are purchased is too big of a risk for Colorado Springs home builders.

Here is a look at some of the busiest builders in El Paso County - to include the Colorado Springs, Monument, Falcon/Peyton and Fountain real estate markets, and how many building permits were pulled from January - April of 2008:

Campbell Homes 14
Capital Pacific Homes 15
Challenger Homes 20
Classic Homes (local) 59
D.R. Horton 16
Goetzmann Custom Homes (local) 6
Hallmark Building Co. (local) 7
John Laing Homes 6
Journey Homes 51
Keller Homes (local) 31
New Generation Homes (local) 6
Oakwood Homes 29
Premier Homes 27
Pulte Homes 4
Richmond American Homes 50
Saddletree Homes  (local) 12
Todays Homes  (local) 12
Vantage Homes 16
   
Total of All Building Permits:
(to include those not mentioned here)
 493
Information gathered from the Pikes Peak Regional Building District website.

Colorado Springs Real Estate Market UPDATE: Comparing Average April Home Sale Prices 2005 - 2008

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.

Colorado Springs Real Estate Market - Average April Sales Prices 2005-2008

  • 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!
