The troops are coming home! Another group of a couple hundred arrived again this week. Fort Carson is scheduled to grow over the next few years, but even more importantly, many of the troops who have been deployed over the last 6 years will get a chance to be home again. Colorado Springs has a huge military presence, but of our 5 bases (Fort Carson, Cheyenne Mountain, Shriever Air Force Base, Peterson Air Force Base and the US Air Force Academy), the largest by far is Ft Carson, with over 30,000 troops scheduled to be based there by 2011.
We've got a couple of nice days again (50's) before it gets cold for Super Bowl Sunday. I thought I'd get a shot with a dusting of fresh snow on the Peak before it warms up too much and melts whatever we have. This shot was from a couple of days ago, from the front porch of a new listing of mine in Cordera. At $393,000, it is a very nice rancher that is only a few months old, over 3,000 sf finished, with a nice view from the front porch.

In real estate projections, areas with a strong military presence are supposed to continue to do well. That's assuming soldiers are stationed in Colorado Springs for more than a few months before being shipped back out. But many military families make the area home, and can keep real estate healthy.
