Описание: I toured a new build in Colorado Springs last week with a client, and as we walked through the model, the sales rep was hyping up the “elevated outdoor living package.” Think: oversized patio, fireplace wall, and built-in grill.

Right behind that? A $25k lot premium for “open space views”—that just so happen to back up to a section of land already approved for development.

It’s easy to fall in love with the sparkle:– Double ovens you’ll use twice a year– A pot filler you’ll forget to shut off– A statement hood that’s more trendy than timeless– Lot upgrades backing to “open space” that’s not protected– Fancy lighting packages (that you could do better and cheaper after closing)– Smart home tech that’ll be outdated in 18 months– Garage extensions when your resale buyer just needs standard parking

Here’s the deal: not every upgrade is a bad choice—but you need to know which ones actually add value in the Colorado Springs and Monument market, and which ones just pad the builder’s profit.

When I walk my buyers through a new build, we don’t just talk design—we talk ROI, market trends, and resale strategy from day one.

If you’re building soon and want someone to help you invest wisely, I’m your agent.

Share this with someone who’s about to throw money at builder upgrades thinking it’ll come back to them later.
It probably won’t—and they deserve to know before they sign.
