25.0. "House Hunting" by DPD07::GUNDERSON () Tue Jun 02 1992 14:31

    
    I don't see a whole lot of action going on in this notes file anymore,
    but I need some help......
    
    I will be moving back to Colorado Springs within 6-8 weeks and I've
    heard that the housing market has done a complete turn around since
    moving away from Colorado Springs a year ago......I'm not looking to
    buy right now - but am interested in renting at least a 2-3 bedroom
    house in a decent area.
    
    Anyone have any ideas and what the market's like?
    
    Thanks,

25.1See you in the Springs Soon.CSC32::LUCEROStrive for ExcellenceTue Jun 02 1992 17:0619
    
    Hi Lynn,
    
    One nice thing about the Springs is there is always a plentitude
    of rentals in this area in the form of townhomes or condos.  You
    should not have any problem finding a cozy rental in a nice area.
    
    A friend of mine recently sold his home in the Rockrimmon area
    and received exactly what he had hoped for it within a matter
    of weeks of placing it on the market.  I've heard of other homes
    selling within a matter of days so there is some competition out there.
    
    Look forward to finally getting to meet you after being 'note pals'.
    
    I'll forward you mail if I seen any prospects.  My friend in 
    Manitou Springs is moving out of her cottage tomorrow and it 
    is quite cozy with a small loft combination bedroom and nice view!

Hi Lynn,

I beg to differ with Yvette. Since MCI is bringing hundreds of new people
into the area rents are moving up and availability is really crunched.
I understand the townhouse community I live in (in Briargate) has a waiting
list of 65 people waiting for 2-3 bedroom units. Also a friend of mine
is being forced to move from a rental home at the end of their lease
because the market is so good and their landlord wants a much higher rent.
Many places are being rented sight unseen by out of state renters.

I suggest being proactive and trying to line something up before you
arrive. Good luck. If I can help in any way, just let me know.

I agree with Dick, the market is tight right for rentals. Good luck. liesl

25.6Thank youDPD07::GUNDERSONThu Jun 04 1992 16:5210
    
    
    Thank you - all of you, you've been a great help......it's amazing
    hearing all of this.  When I left the Springs last, it was most
    certainly a "buyer's market" - I'm so glad to see things are
    turing around there, but sorry to see that it may be tough finding
    a place to live.  Ya never know though :^).

25.7Former Deccie Seeking Rental (2 Bdrm).CSC32::LUCEROStrive for ExcellenceMon Jun 15 1992 11:1510
    
    Yes, my other friend from back east recently took the SERP package
    and is planning on retiring in the Colorado area so will be staying
    with me while she is seeking other job opportunities in the area.
    She will also be looking for a rental soon (July-Aug. timeframe but
    said that she does not absolutely have to live on the northside.
    
    So, if anyone hears of any rentals coming up later this summer...

25.8It's there if you need it.CSC32::P_TOMAROThu Jul 02 1992 12:165
    Lynn,  Give me a holler if you need temp lodgings while you look.  The
    Springs is getting to be less of a buyer's market.  I have the room.
    Of course the house is in Woodmoor (Monument exit) but it is only 17
    miles to CXO3.  Pat
