MONTHLY STAT PACK
Data through March 31, 2013
QUARTERLY
RESIDENTIAL REVIEW
Welcome to the ERA Shields Stat Pack. The intention for providing this infor-
mation to you is to educate you on the current local real estate market so you can
better make decisions for you and your family. Real estate markets vary from
city to city as well as neighborhood to neighborhood. When the national media
reports on how the real estate market is doing, it is reporting on national num-
bers and it is likely very different from how your neighborhood is performing.
You will find factual data within The Stat Pack from which you may draw your
own conclusions. On the last page you will find a brief summary.

The data found within the ERA Shields Real Estate Stat Pack is based on
information from the Pikes Peak REALTOR® Services Corporation
(RSC) or its PPMLS. This content is deemed reliable; however RSC,
PPMLS and ERA Shields Real Estate do not guarantee its accuracy. Data
maintained by RSC does not reflect all real estate activity in the market.
Additional sources include the Colorado Springs EDC, El Paso County
Assessor, El Paso County Trustee, Colorado Springs HBA, PPAR, The
Gazette, The CSBJ and NAR.
This graph compares the
number of homes on the
market to the number of
sales over the past 3
months for El Paso County
and determines how many
months it would take to sell
through the current listing
inventory. Most economists
consider 6.0 months to be a
balanced market.

1st Quarter Review 2013
With the 1st Quarter of 2013 in the books, homeowners and sellers likely have a new found smile on their faces. The market in every category important to homeowners is seeing strong improvement; prices up over 10%, number of sales are up 30%, foreclosure starts down 34% and we are even seeing movement in the higher price ranges finally. Buyers on the other hand are often wondering what happened as there are so few homes on the market (lowest level in over 10 years) and if they hesitate on making an offer, often times the home sells. Multiple offers in the lower price ranges as well as on homes in mint condition and priced properly have become common. Additionally, buyers are finding it harder to get sellers to pay their closing costs and the days of buyers “raking sellers over the coals” over inspection items are becoming fewer and fewer. Despite the rise in home prices, values are still incredible as home prices are not at the heights of 2007 and mortgage rates are at least 2% lower. If you are considering buying or selling, call me so I can make sure you better understand the current real estate market.
