Many residents of the mining region felt disconnected from the remote territorial governments of Kansas and Nebraska, so they voted to form their own Territory of Jefferson on October 24, 1859. The following month, the Jefferson Territorial Legislature organized 12 counties for the new territory including El Paso County. El Paso County was named for the Spanish language name for Ute Pass north of Pikes Peak. Colorado City served as the county seat of El Paso County.

TITLE & ESCROW

CYBER SECURITY

Because of you… we obsess over

cyber security!

Cyber fraud and email hacking is on the rise. Fraudsters may access individual email accounts and monitor the life of your transaction. At the time funds are due to the escrow, fraudsters intercept the information for wiring funds and the fraudsters change the information without the knowledge of the sender or recipient, resulting in the funds being sent to an outside account and never credited to the intended party.

To protect and reduce your risk, WFG has implemented the following procedures for outgoing and incoming wires:

Outgoing Wire from WFG to seller or borrower for proceeds

In the escrow paperwork provided you will be asked to provide written instructions on how you want funds dispersed at the close of escrow. If you choose to have the funds sent via wire transfer, WFG will contact you by phone to con rm the wire information provided.

Incoming Wires from buyer and/or lender to WFG bank account

For funds that are to be wired to WFG for your transaction, we will send speci c wire instructions to the remitting person via an encrypted email. We recommend you reach out to your WFG contact to con rm the wire instructions prior to remittance.

We look forward to processing your escrow transaction for you. We know that this can be a stressful time and we are here to assist you in any way we can to make this a good experience.

WIRE FRAUD

PROTECT YOUR MONEY WHEN BUYING A HOME: YOUR WIRE FRAUD CHECKLIST

Every day, hackers try to steal your money by emailing fake wire instructions. Criminals will use a similar email address and steal a logo and other info to make it look like the email came from your real estate agent or title company. You can protect yourself and your money by following the steps below.

Don’t send sensitive nancial information via email.

Call, don’t email. Con rm your wiring instructions by phone using a known number before transferring funds.

We will never email wiring instructions to you nor change WFG account information after it’s been provided to you by our sta .

Keep your email account clean, remove any stale messages. Hackers can watch your business patterns and use this information against you.

Ask your bank to con rm the name on the account before sending a wire.

Call your title company or real estate agent within four to eight hours to con rm they have received your money.

This is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice.

WHY IS OWNER’S TITLE INSURANCE IMPORTANT?

The purchase of a home is likely going to be one of the most expensive and important purchases you will ever make. You and your mortgage lender want to make sure the property is indeed yours and that no individual or government entity has any right, lien, claim, or encumbrance to your property.

The title insurance company’s function is to make sure your rights and interests to the property are clear, that transfer of title takes place e ciently, and correctly, and your interests as a homebuyer are protected. Title insurance companies provide services to buyers, sellers, real estate developers and builders, mortgage lenders, and others who have an interest in the real estate transfer. Title companies issue two types of policies - “Owners Policy” (which covers the homebuyer) and “Lenders Policy” (which covers the bank, savings and loan, or other lending institution over the life of a loan). Both are issued at the time of purchase for a one-time premium.

The title company conducts an extensive search of public records to determine if anyone other than you has an interest in the property before issuing a policy. The search may be performed by title company personnel using either public records, or more likely, information gathered, reorganized, and indexed in the company’s title “plant”. With such a thorough examination of records, title problems can usually be found and cleared up prior to purchase of the property. Once a title policy is issued, if for some reason any claim, which is covered under your title policy, is ever led against your property, the title company will pay the legal fees involved in defense of your rights as well as any covered loss arising from a valid claim. That protection, which is in e ect as long as you or your heirs own the property, is yours for a one-time premium paid at the time of purchase.

The title company works to eliminate risks before they develop. This makes title insurance di erent from other types of insurance. Most forms of insurance assume risks by providing nancial protection through a pooling of risks or losses arising from unforeseen events, like re, theft, or accident. The purpose of title insurance, on the other hand, is to eliminate risks and prevent losses caused by defects in title that happened in the past. Risks are examined and mitigated before property changes hands. Eliminating risk has bene ts to both of you, the home buyer, as well as the title company. It reduces the chance adverse claims might be raised, and by doing so reduces the number of claims that have to be defended or satis ed. This keeps costs down for the title company and your title premiums low. With title insurance you are assured that any valid claim against your property will be taken on by the title company, and that the odds of a claim being led is slim.

WHAT IS ESCROW

When your o er has been accepted and conveyed, escrow is opened. An escrow is an arrangement made under contract between a buyer and seller. As the neutral third party, escrow is responsible for receiving and disbursing money and/ or documents. Both the buyer and seller expect the escrow agent to carry out their written instructions associated with the transaction and also to advise them if any of their instructions are not being met, or cannot be met. If the instructions from all parties to an escrow are clearly set out, the escrow o cer can proceed on behalf of the buyer and seller without further consultation.

TYPICAL ROLES IN THE CLOSING PROCESS

The Seller/Agent

• Delivers Purchase Sale Agreement to the escrow agent

• Prepares the paperwork necessary to close the transaction

• Approves the commitment for title insurance, or other items as called for by the Purchase Sale Agreement

The Buyer/Agent

• Deposits funds required to close with the escrow agent

• Executes the paperwork and loan documents necessary to close the transaction

The Lender

• Deposits loan documents to be provided by the buyer

• Deposits the loan funds

• Informs the escrow agent of the conditions under which the loan funds may be used

The Escrow Agent

• Clears Title

• Obtains title insurance

• Obtains payo s and release documents for underlying loans on the property

• Receives funds from the buyer and/or lender

• Prepares vesting document a davit on seller’s behalf

• Prorates insurance, taxes, rents, etc.

• Prepares a nal statement (often referred to as the Closing Disclosure or CD) for each party, indicating amounts paid in conjunction with the closing of your transaction

• Forwards deed to the county for recording

• Once the proper documents have been recorded, the escrow agent will distribute funds to the proper parties

Escrow is the process that gathers and processes many of the components of a real estate transaction. The escrow agent is a neutral third party acting on behalf of the buyer and seller.

WHAT IS TITLE

Title insurance insures against nancial loss from defects in title, liens, or other matters. It protects both purchasers and lenders against loss by the issuance of a title insurance policy. Usually, during a purchase transaction the lender requests a policy (commonly referred to as the Lender’s Policy) while the buyers receive their own policy (commonly referred to as an Owner’s Policy).

It will protect against lawsuits if the status of the title to a parcel or real property is other than as represented, and if the insured (either the owner or lender) su ers a loss as a result of a title defect. The insurer will reimburse the insured for that loss and any related legal expenses.

How is title insurance di erent than other types of insurance?

While the purpose of most other types of insurance is to assume risk through the pooling of monies for losses happening because of unforeseen future events (like sickness or accidents), the primary purpose of title insurance is to eliminate risks and prevent losses caused by defects in title arising out of events that have happened in the past. To achieve this, title insurers perform a thorough search and examination of the public records to determine whether there are any adverse claims (title defects) attached to the subject property. These defects/claims are either eliminated prior to the issuance of a title policy or their existence is excepted from coverage. The policy is issued after the closing of your new home, for a one time nominal fee, and is good for as long as you own the property.

What’s involved in a title search?

A title search is made up of three separate searches:

• Chain of Title – History of the ownership of the subject property

• Lien & Encumbrance Search – Discloses liens and encumbrances on the subject property

• Exceptions from Coverage Search –Includes Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, etc.

After the three searches have been completed, the le is reviewed by an examiner who determines:

• If the Chain of Title shows that the party selling the property has the rights to do so.

• Whether there are any unsatis ed judgments on the Judgment and Name Search against the previous owners, sellers, or/and purchasers.

Rights established by judgment decrees, unpaid federal income taxes, and mechanics liens all may be prior claims on the property, ahead of the buyer’s or lender’s rights. The title search will only uncover issues in title that are of public record and therefore allowing the title company to work with the seller to clear up these issues and provide the new buyer with title insurance.

Once the searches have been examined, the title company will issue a commitment, stating the conditions under which it will insure title. The buyer, seller, and the mortgage lender will proceed with the closing of the transaction after clearing up any defects in the title that have been uncovered by the search and examination.

The distinction between personal property and real property can be the source of di culties in a real estate transaction. A purchase contract is normally written to include all real property; that is, all aspects of the property that are fastened down or which are an integral part of the structure. For example, this would include light xtures, drapery rods, attached mirrors, and trees and shrubs in the ground. It would not include potted plants, free-standing refrigerators, washer/dryer, microwave, bookcases, lamps, etc. If there is any uncertainty whether an item is included in the sale or not, it is best to be sure that the particular item is mentioned in the purchase agreement as being included or excluded.

REPORT FOR 4/30/2025

Single-Family Homes

This week the median list price for Colorado Springs, CO 80905 is $435,000 with the market action index hovering around 39. This is less than last month's market action index of 40. Inventory has increased to 48.

Market Action Index

This answers “How’s the Market?” by comparing rate of sales versus inventory.

Market Narrative

The market has started cooling and prices have been flat for several weeks. Since we’re in the Seller’s zone, watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

Market Segments

Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price.

Colorado Springs, CO

Median List Price

Again this week we see prices in this zip code remain roughly at the level they’ve been for several weeks. Since we’re significantly below the top of the market, look for a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices move from these levels.

Segments

In the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code have settled at a price plateau across the board. Prices in all four quartiles are basically mixed. Look for a persistent shift (up or down) in the Market Action Index before prices move from these current levels.

Colorado Springs, CO

Price Per Square Foot

While prices have been basically flat, the price per square foot has been heading downward. While not a sign of broad strength in a market, larger homes are coming more available and buyers are tending to get more home for their money.

Inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.

Market Action Index

The market has started cooling and prices have been flat for several weeks. Since we’re in the Seller’s zone, watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

Not surprisingly, all segments in this zip code are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the highend) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a slowdown for the whole group.

Median Days on Market (DOM)

The properties have been on the market for an average of 72 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 39 or so days. Watch the 90-day DOM trend for signals of a changing market.

Segments

It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.
