City buying, fixing up foreclosed houses
Englewood is nearing its neighborhood stabilization program goal of buying 20 foreclosed houses and almost halfway to the program goal of repairing, renovating and selling all 20 of those homes.
“We are closing on the purchase of our 18th house, and we are looking at two more houses that may soon become available,” said Janet Grimmett, city housing finance specialist. “If we are able to buy those two houses, it will complete our housing purchases.”
Two local real estate projects fall into foreclosure
Two prominent commercial real estate projects have been hit with eight-figure foreclosure notices, the third and fourth largest foreclosures of the year in El Paso County and more signs that the area’s commercial market has a ways to go before it fully recovers.
A $16.4 million notice was filed this week against Compass Capital Group, an Arizona limited liability company that owns the Powers Office Park southeast of Powers Boulevard and Briargate Parkway on Colorado Springs’ northeast side, according to El Paso County Public Trustee records.

(Reuters) - U.S. farmland prices in the third quarter saw their biggest surge in over three decades in an accelerating agricultural boom that has so far defied fears of a bubble about to burst.
Prices hit record highs in the U.S. Plains, where wheat and cattle dominate production, and jumped 25 percent in the Midwest Corn Belt where bumper grain crops and recovering livestock markets put more money in farmers' wallets and enticed investors to bid up for the fertile ground, according to two Federal Reserve bank surveys issued on Tuesday
