It seems like a lot of sellers here will keep their home on the market for a long time, Maybe they are hoping

Asked Tue May 20 2008, 16:34 by Chris - Central Colorado City - Home Buying - 9 answers

Eddie Hurt answered:

As many of the other postings have said, be careful on pricing a home based on the Assessor's Office and/or Zillow. Neither of these take into account condition, upgrades, actual location (backs to a train track, or backs to Open Space, etc...) and Zillow does not credit sellers for a finished basment. Because buying a house is more than just numbers, it is very difficult to get a "true & accurate" perception of a home via the internet and is why your homefinding visit with your agent will be greatly beneficial to you. The interent is a great tool to ensure your homefiding tour is productive as you can eliminate many homes that do not meet your criteria. Also, in the current Colorado Springs market, many sellers are not able to sell their home for less than they are asking which in reality means their home is most likely not saleable. - Wed May 21 2008, 08:34

How is the rental market in North Colorado Springs?

Asked Tue May 6 2008, 13:14 by Jacque - Colorado Springs - Market Conditions - 4 answers

Eddie Hurt answered:

Actually, the info I have received from most of the largest property managers in Colorado Springs is that the local rental market for homes is fantastic. At a recent meeting most reproted they had little or no vacancies and that their onthly rental rates are up. I believe the southern part of town is hotter then the north side simply due the number of new soldiers beginning to arrive at Ft Carson who will not be buying since they only have a year or two left here.

Also, the issues buyers have been having with your property's proximity to Acadmey & Briargate will also be a concern for renters. My advice would be to improve your listing price if you can. If not, you may want to try and rent it until our local real estate market really apprecaites enough to where you can afford to sell. - Wed May 7 2008, 08:20

We have a contract to buy in Co Springs, but mortgage companies are telling us it's a declining market We

Asked Wed Apr 30 2008, 07:57 by Becky - Powers - Home Buying - 5 answers

Eddie Hurt answered:

Becky;
If you send to me the zip code where you are wanting to buy I can check to see if the lenders I recommend consider it a declining market. There are very few declining markets in Colorado Springs.

Also, it is a great time to be a buyer in the Colorado Springs market; inventory is high but level, mortgage rates are excellent and currently buyers are somewhat scarce. What this all means to you is that is seems are market is at or near its bottom, you have great buying power with the low mortgage rates and you have fantastic clout as a buyer. The old axiom "buy low and sell high" is absolutley correct.

One word of caution is with new developments. New developments offer great opportunities IF you get a great deal. If you overpay in a new home development, you are at great risk as you will be competing with them in 2011 when you plan to sell. Please contact me with any questions. - Wed Apr 30 2008, 08:57

Who would you say is the best realtor company in Colorado Springs, Co?

Asked Sat Apr 19 2008, 21:37 by Alice - Colorado Springs - Home Selling - 7 answers

Eddie Hurt answered:

Alice;
I agree completely with Kathy & Susan. A great company is made up of great agents. To detemine which company is best for you, you should start by determining what is most important to you. For example; are you buying or selling, which part of town is your transaction going to take place, are schools important, are HOA's important, do you want an agent with X number of years experience, do you want an individual agent or a team, etc... Once you determine what is important to you, do your research. The internet is a great place to starts, so is the local REALTOR board (www.ppar.com) as is the BBB and Chamber. Also, interview in person more then 1 agent so you can compare. By doing a little work up front, you can greatly improve your chances of hiring an agent & company you will be happy with. - Mon Apr 21 2008, 08:50

how to do a short sell by owner?

Asked Tue Apr 15 2008, 04:48 by Kathy - Colorado Springs - Foreclosure - 5 answers

Eddie Hurt answered:

Kathy;
To get started I would go tohttp:// www.ColoradoForeclosureHotline.org or call them at 1-877-601-HOPE. This site and their hotline are excellent resources for you. Most of the time short sales are a very long & drawn out process even when you have someone working with you that has done them before. Also know, the bank you are hoping to negotiate the short sale with will pay the real estate commissions, because of this I would encourage you to find an agent that specializes in these. Personally, I do not assist with short sales, but I would be more than happy to refer you to someone I know that does. - Tue Apr 15 2008, 09:22
