MONTHLY STAT PACK Data through March 31, 2014

QUARTERLY RESIDENTIAL REVIEW

Welcome to the ERA Shields Stat Pack. The intention for providing this infor-

mation to you is to educate you on the current local real estate market so you can

better make decisions for you and your family. Real estate markets vary from

city to city as well as neighborhood to neighborhood. When the national media

reports on how the real estate market is doing, it is reporting on national num-

bers and it is likely very different from how your neighborhood is performing.

You will find factual data within The Stat Pack from which you may draw your

own conclusions. On the last page you will find a brief summary.

QUICK FACTS ABOUT 1st QUARTER OUR LOCAL BOARD HAS TRANSITIONED INTO A NEW MLS SYSTEM. IT WILL TAKE A FEW MONTHS TO DETERMINE THE AFFECTS OF THIS TRANSITION ON REPORTED NUMBERS WHICH MAY CAUSE US TO GO BACK AND CORRECT THE LAST 2 MONTHS.

The data found within the ERA Shields Real Estate Stat Pack is based on information from the Pikes Peak REALTOR® Services Corporation (RSC) or its PPMLS. This content is deemed reliable; however RSC, PPMLS and ERA Shields Real Estate do not guarantee its accuracy. Data maintained by RSC does not reflect all real estate activity in the market. Additional sources include the Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance, El Paso County Assessor, El Paso County Trustee, Colorado Springs HBA, PPAR, The Gazette, The CSBJ and NAR.

This graph compares the number of homes on the market to the number of

sales over the past 3 months for El Paso County and determines how many

months it would take to sell through the current listing

inventory. Most economists consider 6.0 months to be a

balanced market.

1st Quarter 2014 Review

The Colorado Springs real estate market had a banner year in 2013 despite a lackluster

4th quarter where we saw activity (under contracts) really decline. The lack of buyers and

sellers at the end of last year resulted in lower than expected sales (down 18%) and prices

(down 3%-5%) in the first quarter of 2014.

The first quarter really began to heat up in late February when listings began their

annual rise in anticipation of summer buyers We also saw buyers finally begin to flow back

into the market as under contract listings jumped significantly. Inventory levels for the

quarter bumped up to a more healthy rate for the quarter (5.2 months). Despite the fact

more listings are hitting the market, it seems homes which have not sold over the past 60

days are “stuck in the muck” while new listings which are in good condition & priced to sell

are selling quickly.

The 2nd quarter is setting-up nicely with new listings coming on the market at a rate of

about 65 a day. The determining factor of exactly what the next 3 months will look like is in

the hands of the buyers. The last few weeks of March saw a good trend of buyers coming

into the market and if that continues we expect sales to get back on par with 2013 while

prices will increase 3%-5%.
