Colorado Springs has some really nice home available in the 600's. I showed a bunch of them this week, and the one that the buyer selected was close to 5,000 square feet on 2.5 acres, 2 years old, and had WONDERFUL views.
The ones they did not select were very, very nice as well. One was on almost 6 acres in High Forest Ranch, in the trees. One was on 2.5 acres on the golf course in Kings Deer (really great views on that one!). Another was on 2.5 acres just minutes from the Powers shopping corridor. Bottom line, there is great selection in that price range right now! Here is a link to a couple of them:Some Nice $650,000 homes
This particular client was not looking for horse or looser covenanted properties, but this link is to one my listings for $659,900 that has a fantastic set of outbuilding, 5 treed acres, and a very nice 5,000 sf stucco ranch style home. 7115 Wildridge Road
The weather has turned decidedly winter like. After waking up to fog yesterday, it cleared up a bit, followed by rain, then thunder, then snow, and this morning, snow and wind. While it is not snowing a lot (less than an inch fell here), the wind makes it look and feel more like January than April!
This weekend is pretty much the end of ski season, despite great quantities of snow. Breckenridge will remain open until the following weekend, they are still report close to a 7 foot base, with this storm expected to drop another foot or so.
