🏡 Will Home Sales Surge Here Now?

Colorado Springs just topped Realtor.com's list of housing markets to watch for 2025, with a forecasted 27.1% increase in existing home sales. Our breathtaking scenery, excellent schools, and vibrant community are driving this surge, even as high mortgage rates challenge many buyers.

The city benefits from growing new construction, a younger population, and a higher share of government-backed loans like VA and FHA, making it an appealing option for homebuyers. Denver also made the list in 19th place, with its own 13.6% sales growth expected.

Living in this region, we see firsthand how desirable it is to call southern Colorado home. Are you feeling this growth? What do you think about our city leading the way in housing?

📊 Mortgage Trends You Need to Know

The road to lower mortgage rates is progressing slowly, with experts predicting a gradual decline in 2025. While the Federal Reserve has begun cutting interest rates, mortgage rates remain above 6%, frustrating buyers and refinancers hoping for quick relief.

If your current mortgage rate exceeds 7%, refinancing now could bring meaningful savings, but those with rates around 6.5% may benefit from waiting until mid-2025, when rates are expected to drop into the mid-5% range. With additional Fed cuts on the horizon and economic uncertainties still unfolding, the coming months are crucial for those navigating the housing market. *Read Source
