That's due to material prices, not the housing market. Do you watch the news?
Admittedly, I don't watch the news much, but yes I'm familiar with the price spikes in lumber and the such.
CO Springs market jumped 20% last year and so far another 10% this year.
Also, why are you so snarky? Having a bad day?

No, but your feet will if you go out in the backyard barefoot
Nah my backyard is grass. Which is expensive to keep green in CO.

Why is that? No rain?

90% of the yards in the neighborhood are well done.
I’m not sure what you mean by this. Everything in that picture is rock except that ring of grass. Is there grass in anyone’s yard? Or is it all hardscape?

Yea we're lucky to have gotten orders to move here and build when we did.
We've lived on military bases for a while now so the living close to other people thing doesn't bother us. It's actually a plus as my kids have a dozen friends within a hundred yards of our front door.

I shared this picture because it looks like shite. 90% of the yards in the neighborhood are well done.
Luckily we bought our house before the market exploded. We love it here. Don't plan on moving in the foreseeable future.

And yea the only downside to this neighborhood is the yard size, but it more than makes up for it with all the fields, parks, trails, pools, gym, tennis courts, etc.
No dedicated pickleball courts? I'm out.

Neighborhood should be avoided.

We do have pickleball courts. I have never played before moving here.

No one could pay me to live on top of each other like that neighborhood.

My house in Black Foot Hills was nicer and I had more yard.

Do you have any idea how much the housing market here in CO has skyrocketed?
Do you think Co is the only state this is happening in?
Serious question.

Looks like that will end up as a place to plop a table, chairs, and sit and drank some.....

Also, those are the most communist looking back yards I have ever seen.
Really close, no privacy. Just right for telling the government your neighbor doesn't wear a mask in his living room or has a coal burning BBQ pit on his porch.

That's not my yard. Some people do what they call "zero-scaping" and just have rock gardens, but they still have to have trees, shrubs, etc. It's cheaper to do that since you don't have to water anything. Some folks also do turf. I have seen some that looks just like grass and I've seen some that looks like crap.
Somoene else asked earlier in the thread but I forgot to answer. That sod looks recently done so I'm assuming they just did their yard. They're going to have to have the yard inspected by the HOA and if this is the final product, they'll not pass. I don't know what happens when you fail. We submitted our plan, had it approved, did the landscaping, and then passed the inspection.
There are basically two sides to the neighborhood: The older side which has been around for 10-15 years & and the new development side which is where I live. You can tell by the siding on the houses that this is from the older side of the neighborhood.

Of course not. My buddy is leaving here and going to Virginia and he recently made an offer $70K over the asking price and was outbid.
