What does the average house in Colorado Springs look like? According to last months sales statistics, it was priced at $239,578, had 2,468 square feet (including the basement), 2,173 were finished. Oh yeah, and it had been for sale for 115 days before getting a contract. I happened to have listed a house this past week that is really close to the averages (although as a brand new listing, it has not been on the market for the average time for sure!). This house, located at 8261 Dolly Madison in the Fairfax area of Briargate, is priced a little below the average at $232,500. It also has a lot of upgrades and updates that are not as common at this price, such as brand new windows, new carpeting, new kitchen floor, new countertops etc, and even has a nice Peak view from the master bedroom.

The Spring weather has really been nice. It was just a week ago it snowed, but it has been more seasonal all week since, with a little rain mixed with the beautiful sunny mornings we are used to in the summers here. It has been really dry for this time of year, we could use more rain.

Mother's Day weekend is shaping up to be a nice one, with cool and rain on Saturday, but sun all day on Sunday. Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there! We are planning a breakfast out on Sunday morning for ours, and our daughter at CSU in Fort Collins even plans to be here!
