🏡 Owning a Home Still Possible

The Pikes Peak region’s median home price reached a record $500,000 this summer, a 105% jump from a decade ago. Paired with higher mortgage rates and insurance costs, many families now spend nearly half their income on housing. Still, experts say homeownership isn’t out of reach if buyers explore first-time programs, alternative loans, and smaller or more affordable housing options like townhomes, condos, and ADUs. Builders and lawmakers are beginning to expand choices, and buyers who plan carefully and use available resources can still make the dream of owning a home in Colorado Springs a reality. *Source

📊 Fed Holds Steady, Buyers Wait

After hitting 7.04% in Jan, mortgage rates have settled into the high-6% range and aren’t expected to fall quickly. Inflation concerns tied to tariffs have the Federal Reserve holding off on further rate cuts, keeping affordability tight for buyers. While some economists expect modest declines by late 2025, many believe rates will remain elevated. With housing inventory still low and demand steady, homebuyers should prepare for ongoing affordability challenges, though the Sept Fed meeting may give a clearer outlook. *Read Source
