As a Colorado Springs Military Relocation Specialist, I show a lot of homes near Peterson AFB. I've put together the top 3 things that really pique a buyer's interest (or completely turn them off.)  These tips can mean the difference between a quick sell for top dollar or several more months of sitting on the market. 1.  Keep a Clean House This sounds like a real no-brainer, but you might be surprised how many homes are dirty and cluttered for showings.  Nothing turns off a potential buyer faster than a mess.  And while a few people can look past the couple hundred dollars it would take to make it spotless, the fact is that most don't.  When you're looking at 15 houses in a day, that means the dirty ones automatically get eliminated 95% of the time.  Keep your house clean and keep it in...

I've recently been researching all the new building available around Peterson AFB Real Estate for a few relocation clients. There's a LOT out there right now. For starters, there's Forest Meadows, Chaparral Point, Indigo Ranch, and Banning Lewis Ranch. And that's only half the communities! One of newest is Forest Meadows. It's one of the very few that offer homes in the low $200s. Forest Meadows is just off Black Forest Rd just north of Woodmen. They have several different builders in the area, including Journey, Premiere and Aspen View. You can get a new home for well under $200k - $250K.  And when I say new, I mean brand new.  There's only a few homes that have families so far.  This means good news for you new home buyers out there.  Developments always have the best pricing when the...

It's HIGH SUMMER here in Colorado Springs.  And being in the Rockies, that means, fishing, camping, hiking and even the occassional boating.  One of the great things about being in the military is Outdoor Rec.  Now, admittedly, I'd forget that it was even there...unless we were doing a squadron function!  That's why I'm writing this post, so YOU can remember to make the most of what the Air Force gives you.  Outdoor Recreation at Peterson AFB has tons of great rentals to help you take full advantage of the summer.  You can get fishing poles, canoes, camping equipment and more.  They also offer White Water Rafting Trips and Outdoor Rockclimbing sessions.  As long as you live in the area of Peterson AFB Real Estate, then take the time to check out all the great programs and rentals they h...
