Builders Magazine released the Top 20 list of healthiest markets for 2012 and Colorado Springs ranked 7^th in the nation.

"The Department of Defense's major presence in the Colorado Springs area - which includes Fort Carson, Peterson Air Force Base and Schriever Air Force Base - will serve as a catalyst for the local housing market, Builder suggests." reports Rich Laden for the Colorado Springs Gazette.  It is predicted that the return of troops from Afghanistan may further stimulate the housing market.

The prediction is based off of Moody's Economy.com data which states that home prices in the Springs area will climb 2.6 percent next year, jobs will grow 1.4 percent, numbers of households will increase 1.8 percent and median incomes will jump 2.9 percent.
