Todd,
I am in Woodland Park, 20 miles west up in the mountains behind Pikes Peak. I buy up here and in Colorado Springs. I am currently working with a number of investors in the Springs to help them grow their businesses. There are plenty of deals but selling has slowed up in past 4-5 months so it’s best to be a more picky buyer.
Email me if you come to the area or go to www.richardroop.com
Need a house?

I live in Co Springs… RE market is still chugging along, but at a considerably slower pace than in the past few years. Listings are at record highs, but you can still move property with creative incentives like owner financing, lease option, etc. – it’s your average, ho-hum houses that are sitting on the market a while. New construction is still booming with rates where they are. Foreclosures are way up, so now’s a good time for deals there (lots of lay-offs this past year).
Oh wait, nevermind, no deals to be had here! Stay put! (lol)
What else you wanna know? =)

I’m from Denver which is an hour North. I don’ know the specifics of Colorado Springs but I can tell you a little.
CS is a pretty conservative town with a lot of religious groups. If you enjoy all 4 seasons Colorado has the best weather in the country. Half the days this winter have been above 50 degrees. Not bad considering you can ski world class resorts an hour away.
As far as real estate goes, it is a fast developing town. There is a mix of older homes in the city with a lot of new developments and apartment complexes going up on the outskirts. The population is growing fast but is still pretty transient which leaves a lot of oppurtunity. I’m not sure where your coming from but I think housing prices are above average for the country. People move to Colorado for the quality of life and they are willing to pay for it.
Let me know if I can help you out in any way.
