Single family home sales in June varied by area as can be seen in the pie chart above.

The Powers area had more single family home sales in June 2008 than any other area of Colorado Springs. The Northeast and Briargate areas also had a large percentage of the total single family home sales in Colorado Springs  last month.

These statistics give you an idea of which areas of town buyers are looking in for homes and which areas of Colorado Springs have the most real estate activity. 

Overall, the West side has had fewer sales than any other Colorado Springs area consistently over the past few years.  Although the number of home sales are lower in this area, so is the home inventory ; there are currently 181 homes for sale in the West area of the Springs.  On the other hand, the Powers area may have the highest home sale in June 2008 but it also currently has 590 homes for sale in the MLS.
