If you are a buyer right now in the Colorado Springs real estate market, then the time is NOW to make your move! Most sellers are not anxious to hold on to their properties thru the winter months so negotiations are at a frantic pitch.  There are still a huge number of great deals in the market today. That, in addition to the fantastic mortgage rates available, makes for the "perfect storm" for buyers!  Don't be afraid to make agressive offers, and don't be afraid of short sales!!  I have been doing alot of these lately, and they are becoming easier...believe it or not!  If you were to start negotiating a short sale this month, you ould be setting yourself up for a very convenient early Spring move in.  Don't let these opprtunities slip away!!
