Your Ultimate Guide to Buying a Home in Colorado Springs

Let’s make your move to the mountains feel like coming home.

Whether you're relocating from out of state, upgrading for more space, or simply craving those front-range views, buying a home in Colorado Springs is an adventure worth celebrating. With its unbeatable mix of natural beauty, top-rated schools, vibrant neighborhoods, and easy access to trails, coffee shops, and military bases, it’s no wonder people fall in love with COS.

But let’s be honest—home buying can feel overwhelming. That’s why I’ve put together this simple, step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process with confidence (and maybe even a little fun along the way).

1. Know Your Numbers

Before you fall in love with that charming stucco rancher or dreamy mountain-view deck, get clear on what you can comfortably afford.✔️ Review your income, debts, and savings✔️ Chat with a trusted lender (like Blake Paschal at Bay Equity, if you need a referral!)✔️ Get pre-approved so you're ready to act when the right home pops up

Having a firm grasp on your budget helps streamline your search—and boosts your buying power.

2. Explore the Neighborhoods

From the family-friendly streets of Briargate to the tree-lined tranquility of Rockrimmon, Colorado Springs offers something for everyone.

Think about what matters most to your lifestyle:

• Top-rated schools (D-20 or D-11?)

• Commute time

• Proximity to parks, trails, restaurants, or bases

• Community vibes (urban, suburban, or tucked-away and quiet?)

Not sure where to start? I’m happy to help match your wish list with the right area.

3. Choose a Local Expert You Trust

This isn’t just a transaction—it’s your next chapter. Partnering with a knowledgeable, relationship-focused agent (hi, it’s me 🙋‍♀️) means you’ll have someone in your corner for every question, showing, and strategy session.
