Is Colorado Springs HOT! right now?

[Shaniqua Dupree]

I am trying to get a feel for the Colorado Springs Market. It looks great for a seller. My husbamd and I saw a house that was on the market for 1 day. It was 210k. We put in a full price offer that day. They counter with 215k and we accepted it. Ummm. idk if im missing something but currently Colorado Springs sounds like a hot market. Or Did they lowball the offer, Is it due to the weather change, Maybe the market is going up because Denver, CO is going up. I am curious to know what is happening. Id love to rehab a house and sell it full price or more in the first week. Houses go on the market and get snatched up very quickly. I cant imagine a decent house in a decent neighborhood sitting for 30 days. Are there any investors in CO Springs that can help me piece this bit together. I would like to invest but dont want to get caught up in an economy that operate in its own set of rules, i.e. High peak and low peaks sparatically through the year because of some weird job shift. Idk I am making up something. Just trying to help you understand where I am coming from. Thanks for your help.
