Today we set a dubious record in Colorado Springs, as of today we have 7,012 active listings of single family and patio homes for sale, the first time it has ever crossed the 7,000 homes threshhold. It was only a matter of time, since the rate of new listings has exceeded the sales rate for some time.
I personally was encouraged to have 2 of my own listings go under contract this week however. I try to keep a more limited inventory of very salable homes to avoid the problems associated with unhappy sellers, and being stretched too thin. http://www.vwteamhomes.com/ is where they can be viewed, with virtual tours, at any time. With listings ranging from $180k to $375k at the moment, it is a decent selection, and our web site also allows access to the entire MLS (all 7,012 homes!).

This is rodeo weekend (Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo), and next week is the Race to the Clouds up Pikes Peak(Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, aka Race to the Clouds). These are 2 of the more unique events of the area, they have long histories, and are unique to our geography. How many places have a 14000 foot mountain you can run car races on anyway? With Sky Sox baseball, Rockies baseball in Denver (can you believe they are over .500 after the All Star Break?), untold other festivals and art exhibits, etc, it is hard to be bored on the weekend unless you want to be!
