To Sell or Not To Sell?

There are plenty of factors to examine in our ever changing real estate market these days. The most important things to look at are your reason for moving and interest rates.

First ask yourself why you want to sell your home. Maybe you are looking to upgrade to something better, or maybe it is for relocating for a job or to be closer to family. You might be looking to downsize at this point. There could be any number of reasons, but it is important to really analyze your reason.

If you are upgrading to a more expensive home or buying around the same price range, then the current market is perfect for your plans. Although you may be taking a loss on the sale of your home in the current market, you are going to incrementally save more in this buyers market on the purchasing end. The low interest rates these days will most likely be better than your current mortgage rate which will have a direct effect on your payment amount. You’ll get “more bang for your buck,” as they say with the falling interest rates. So it can definitely be a win-win situation in these cases. I recommend speaking with a Realtor to see how your situation stacks up, and how much your home is worth in the current market.

Those looking to downsize need to assess the situation with a Realtor to see what the best option or plan would be for your needs in the current market. Realtors, otherwise known as Real Estate Consultants, are usually well versed in people’s life changing plans and can offer a lot of insight on any situation.

New Shopping Center Planned for Falcon

Woodmen Hills and Meridian Ranch have seen some sizeable growth east of Colorado Springs. Retail supply has been slowly catching up to the area, but there is still quite a bit of demand for more convenience in the area. North American Development Group has contracted to buy almost 40 acres on the northwest corner of Woodmen and Meridian roads to answer the demand. They envision a 232,700 square-foot shopping center, to be called Falcon Highlands Northwest. This shopping center is designed as a 130,000 square-foot box with several smaller sites that would accommodate restaurants, banks and automotive parts stores, and other miscellaneous stores. The developer hopes to receive approval from El Paso County to start construction in 2009, with shops opening in 2010.

Safeway, Walgreen’s, and Wal-mart are just a few of the large stores already located in and around Woodman Hills and Meridian Ranch. Many fast food and sit-down restaurants, dry cleaners, banks and other stores and services have added convenience to the location as well. Lowe’s is expected to add a store soon near Meridian and U.S. Highway 24. Woodman Hills and Meridian Ranch are on their way with this continued growth in the area.
