Stephanie Jarboe - Realtor

I’ve seen Colorado Springs homeowners spend $40K on a kitchen remodel and wonder why they didn’t make it back at closing.

Meanwhile, the house down the street spent $400 on a coat of paint, spruced up their yard, and walked away with more.

I’ve walked through homes where the owner gutted the bathroom before listing and barely broke even.

Then I’ve seen a $1,500 garage door swap change a buyer’s entire first impression before they got to the front door.

The upgrades that move the needle are usually the ones that remove objections.

A well-maintained yard says “this home is cared for.”

Fresh neutral paint makes every room feel like a clean slate - fresh, bright, and bigger.

Summer is one of the most competitive times to buy in Colorado Springs

The kids are out of school, some people have more work flexibility, and inventory levels are stable.

Here’s what I want you to know if you’re thinking about making a move in Colorado Springs this summer...

The best ones move fast. Be ready to move quickly, have your financing locked, and your priorities clear.

Homeowners selling in the summer are often working around tight deadlines.

School starting, a job change, or a move already in motion. When we understand what they need, we can structure an offer that stands out without necessarily paying more.

Competition can create pressure to cut corners. A bidding war doesn’t mean the house is perfect. Protect yourself and get the inspection.

A summer move is absolutely doable. You just need to go in prepared (with an experienced Real Estate Professional on your side!)
