Did this man just say a thriving job market? I mean I guess if you're in the military or sell mary jauana

Not progressive but instead regressive. The politics there is what’s keeping me from moving there.

This is perfect for all those folks looking for the best places to live in Colorado Springs. I can't believe you didn't tell anyone about how great the water from the springs tastes in Manitou Springs. 😂

After Trump wins and ships everyone home the housing colllapse will begin with the loss of migrants renting in high demand to keep residential real estate afloat in big cities, and soon this will trigger down from Alpha world cities like Los Angeles to Gamma world cities like Austin

I don't know how the new construction market is in Colorado but here in California there is no "negotiating" with a builder. Do they offer buyer incentives? Yes. But beyond that what they offer is what you'll get. Don't like it? The next buyer is waiting in line with cash in hand and will take accept the product as-is.

Please dont listen to this. Your home wont build equity when it is highly overvalued. Dont overpay for a starter home thinking that you need to "get on the ladder". Market by market inventories have been building and demand has NOT rebounded despite lower interest rates. Now rates are going higher again. At some point, as prices drop consistently, sellers will know they need to sell and will drop prices fast to get a buyer. It is happening in Arizona, Florida and Texas now and will gain momentum over the coming year. You will save money by paying less to rent than buy and put that money into solid investments, then come back and buy a home as a cost of living, not an investment.

I think a huge component of the "Affordability" conundrum is the unrealistic expectations of first time home buyers. Back in the day, almost everyone had to start on the bottom rung with "starter homes", meaning small homes that usually needs some work. Now, everyone wants the big new build, with all the bells and whistles. That is, for the most part, just unrealistic.

How you know the prices won’t change that much?

this country use to be a American dream... now days its just survival...

Any natural disaster issues? Thanks!

One candidate will move Space Force to Alabama… Bye bye COS housing market and high paying jobs.

My wife and I are considering moving to CS. We are conservative Trump voters. Know any good Realtors?

Everything is dam political 🙄 😒

What about prime 25 I am visiting in a few weeks and would like to check them out.

🙋🏽‍♀️ Native here. Colorado Springs “was” a great place to live. Affordable homes, low crime, great schools, cheap entertainment, competitive jobs, and yes, very conservative. None of that stands true today. It is definitely a purple city now. El Paso County was the largest conservative/Republican stronghold left in the state. And guess what?? A new mayor got sElected that ran on a Republican ticket, but is actually a liberal. He allowed rumors to fly that claimed he was a pastor, so he was able to trick many religious conservatives. It’s just a matter of time now before CS completely turns into a drug and gang infested, high crime, 💩hole like Denver. We already hold the title of most stolen vehicles in the nation, and our sheriffs dept recently came out with some pretty scary statistics on how much cartel activity we have. And don’t even ask about the out of control homeless crisis we have!! And it’s going to get worse! Why?? Because Denver is a sanctuary city and took in over 40,000 illegals, which have overflowed into Colorado Springs, which is NOT a sanctuary city! And guess who’s pretending they care by not doing a damn thing about it? Our wonderful mayor who is a lib that ran on a Republican ticket. We’ve been in the Springs since the 90’s and we can’t wait to get out. The traffic alone, at all hours of the day, is nothing short of atrocious. And get ready to pay out the azz for car insurance! Between auto thefts, car accidents, and the severe hail damage we get - you better think twice before getting a new/newer vehicle. Your car ins is almost as much as a car note!! There’s one thing the poster didn’t get right, and that is there are actually 5 ways total to get from North to South, or South to North. I25, Neveda, Academy, Circie/Union, and Powers/21. But even with that, traffic is horrendous. If you’re a conservative, think twice before you move here. We may have a lot of churches and a few mega church’s, but don’t let that fool you. You will probably hate it here. We do have a wonderful military community here , for the most part.

😂you feel Colorado becoming more progressive is a good thing. Also saying if you believe voting for Trump isn’t gonna change anything, I’m sorry anterior motive for this video much😂. If you want it to be factual why not call it the declination of Colorado ? Blue state facts don’t lie!

I am not sure what the solution is. My wife and I almost make double the average household yearly income in Colorado, but still feel like interest rates, insurance, and taxes are keeping us out of the current market. If I feel like the market is expensive, there is no way the average family can afford a house. This means many people are going to be house poor. The only thing that can fix this is a huge market correction that may never happen.

The ALARMING reasons why people are fleeing Colorado Springs... one of them is the population growth? So which is it? And then he talks as if being progressive is a good thing lol. I have lived in Colorado Springs for 65 years... if it ever becomes a liberal city, I'm leaving.

As someone who worked in the banking sector I know that wire payments are not the safest thing as the investigations team worked near me and said there was lots of fraud. I was a payment processor, yet the most risky sector is tourism and hospitality where vacation rental places and tours get people to send money and eventually they find no tour was scheduled from the designated area or hotel or wherever in the first place or where the vacation cottage was a private home never up for rent in the first place but any advertisement where you don’t know the beneficiary is as your money could go down a black hole and get layered many places or withdrawn by the scammer before one even realizes it was a scam Wire transfers are ok for transferring large enough amounts of money to justify the fees even and where the sender and beneficiary absolutely know one another and the accounts and had done business with them before especially and found them trustworthy. Wire transfers don’t leave trails behind like money orders and paper checks and the potential for the worst types of fraud is very high with them

Weak men create hard times. Keep supporting the same politicians that are destroying your city. See above.

Love your presentation Mark! You are very talented person!

Great video my friend Mark!

If it becomes liberal I would never move there!

People in the Springs dress like homeless people..😐

They need to rename it Condorado Springs because it’s all you really see being built. Cost of living is stupid high, people can’t drive, motorcycles are running triple digits on the streets/highways, mass corruption in the police department, the growth rate is insane, roads are terrible, homeless everywhere you look, broken down vehicles spends days/weeks before being removed, oh yeah, great f’in place to move to. 🙄 I wouldn’t buy a candy bar from this jacka$$.

I need a video made from a woman’s perspective.

I loved it there. Of course I don’t care much for tourist traps.

No to the flip flops. Yes, I loved living there. The storms rolling off the mountains. The open spaces. The low humidity.

I know lot's of Californians ourselves included, that have moved or are going to move to Colorado Springs and are voting Trump. If enough of us show up we will save you from yourself.

Colorado Springs used to be great. It sucks now!

I miss COS but it's extreme conservative.

What a jerk

Do the 1000’s of panhandlers vote?

not helpful

You can get shot at taco bell or pumping gas out here, stop lying.

WRONG, Colorado Springs is mostly Red you liar.

It was just as pricey as Denver last year but now, I see about 200k price difference. That is tempting. Denver metro is just ridiculous. Starter single family homes in Denver are no less than $500 and those are dumps, if you can find it. 600-700 for anything habitable. Similar dumps seem to be about $350 in Colorado Springs, it seems low 400k is the habitable range.

Too many people have their homes listed with no real intent to sell. How many listings should I show where they bought the home 3 years ago and are expecting a $120k profit?

"Thriving job market"

This market needs to dump 80% to even get close to revert to mean. I moved here in 2018, and houses are triple the price since then. A 20% down payment here would buy you an entire house on the eastern divide. It's no surprise people are angry. Buyers will never support this market. Any sane buyer at least.

Guarantee you this guy is gay

I love c/s I hate this dude talking

This used to be an affordable state until it turned blue. Damn Californians. TRUMP 2024

as long as air force academy is in CO spgs, i dont see it becoming all that blue buddy, if it is an outdoorsman paradise, than how much of those outdoorsman are liberal? probably 5 percent, make a little more since man

$400k buys you a fixer upper dump in a neighborhood where car break ins and gunfire are common at night. If you want to live in a safe neighborhood plan on spending at least $650k for a home.

you're excited about becoming progressive?

donald trump is the reason you'll keep a job! Trump24!

Just work on potholes, and get rid of the motorcycle gangs, then it would be decent

House prices aren't bad, have you compared the housing prices that have gone up as well across the nation

Colorado Springs is not purple it's RED.
