There are still homes available under $350,000 throughout Colorado Springs and surrounding El Paso County communities. The key is knowing where to look, understanding what you're getting at that price point, and—most importantly—making sure the financing makes sense for your budget.

What Can You Expect Under $350,000 in the Colorado Springs Area?

At this price point, buyers may need to be flexible about location, age of the home, cosmetic condition, square footage, or certain features.

That doesn't mean you have to settle for a home that doesn't work for you.

Depending on current inventory, you may find opportunities in areas such as Security-Widefield, Fountain, Southeast Colorado Springs, and other communities throughout El Paso County.

Some homes may be move-in ready. Others might have an older kitchen, dated flooring, an unfinished basement, or other cosmetic items that can be improved over time.

That's where looking beyond the listing photos can sometimes pay off.

Don't Automatically Rule Out a Home That Needs Updating

One of the mistakes buyers can make is eliminating a house because the paint is outdated, the flooring isn't their style, or the kitchen hasn't been remodeled.

Cosmetic items can often be changed.

Location, lot size, floor plan, and the overall structure of the home aren't nearly as easy to change.

A home that needs some updating may also create an opportunity to negotiate with the seller or explore financing strategies that allow improvements to be made after purchase.

If you come across a property that needs work, send it to me before assuming it won't work financially. We can look at the numbers and determine whether a traditional mortgage or renovation financing might make sense.

The Purchase Price Is Only Part of the Equation

Finding a home listed for $325,000 doesn't automatically tell you whether it fits comfortably into your budget.

Your actual monthly housing expense can include:

• Principal and interest
• Property taxes
• Homeowners insurance
• Mortgage insurance, depending on the loan
• HOA dues, if applicable
• Other property-specific expenses

The amount you need at closing can also vary depending on your down payment, closing costs, prepaid expenses, lender credits, seller concessions, and loan program.

That's why I prefer to look at the complete financing picture rather than simply telling someone the maximum amount they can qualify for.

The better question is:

What purchase price gives you a payment and cash-to-close amount you're comfortable with?

That's the number I want my clients to understand before they fall in love with a house.

Seller Concessions Can Make a Big Difference

Purchase price isn't the only thing that can be negotiated.

Depending on the property and market conditions, a seller may be willing to contribute toward a buyer's closing costs or other permitted expenses.

Those funds may potentially be used toward things such as closing costs, prepaid taxes and insurance, or an eligible interest-rate buydown, depending on the loan program and transaction.

For some buyers, negotiating the right financing structure can be just as valuable as negotiating the price of the home.

Every transaction is different, which is why I like to run the actual numbers before deciding which strategy makes the most sense.

Get Your Financing Lined Up Before You Start Making Offers

If you're seriously shopping for a home, getting pre-approved early can save a lot of frustration.

A good pre-approval should give you more than a maximum purchase price.

You should understand:

• Your estimated monthly payment
• Your down payment options
• Estimated cash needed at closing
• How taxes and insurance affect the payment
• Whether mortgage insurance is required
• Whether FHA, VA, conventional, down payment assistance, or another program may fit your situation
• How seller concessions could potentially help
• How different purchase prices affect your overall budget

Once you understand those numbers, looking at houses becomes a lot easier because you know what you're actually shopping for.
