Touring Windsor Colorado! Featured Neighborhood: Windshire

Windsor Colorado is a great place to live for many reasons. People move to Windsor because of the great weather, proximity to the mountains and obviously, Windsor’s small town feel. I’ve noticed that when people think about moving to Windsor, they often ask what different areas look like. With that in mind, I made the following video to give you a bicycle tour of Windsor neighborhoods. In this video, we tour Windshire.

The Windshire neighborhood in Windsor, Colorado is located on the Northwest side of town. It is conveniently located behind King Soopers and other Windsor shopping areas. It’s close to High Hops Brewery & Heart Distillery which are on the west side of Windsor’s Main Street. This means residents living in Windshire have easy access to grocery stores and evening entertainment.

The Windshire neighborhood has an HOA and a neighborhood swimming pool. The homes are newer, mostly built in the last 4 or 5 years. You’ll find 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes throughout the neighborhood with 2 or 3 car garages. In 2023, homes in Windshire are selling for $500,000 to $650,000.

This is one of Windsor‘s best neighborhoods for young families. Not only does the neighborhood have a community pool and a large park with a playground, but it’s a short walk or bike ride to Grandview Elementary School. Plus, the brand new middle school is being built near this area.

When it comes to commuting, Windshire is actually in a good spot for accessing I-25 or commuting to Fort Collins or Loveland for work. Being on the west side of town means that you avoid the traffic delays that happen on Windsor’s Main Street. It’s also easy to head north on the county road to get to Harmony Road for easy access to Fort Collins.

Can I Sell My House As Is?

Selling your house is a big decision and it comes with many important questions, one of which is whether to sell your home as is or to fix it up before putting it on the market. While it may be tempting to sell your house as is and avoid the hassle of repairs, doing so may not always be the best option since homes in really good condition sell faster and for more money that homes being sold as-is.

Since you likely want to get the most money for your home, it’s important that your house is in really good condition. A house that is in great condition will attract more potential buyers and will likely receive higher offers. Buyers are willing to pay more for a house that is move-in ready, and if your house has obvious issues, it may deter potential buyers from making an offer. Buyers generally want to get a great deal if they know that they are going to have to put some work into the house. Offering a carpet allowance is possible but it’s not always the best option. 

While you don’t need to completely renovate your home, taking care of regular maintenance items can go a long way. This includes things like repairing leaky faucets, fixing broken windows, and replacing outdated fixtures. These types of repairs are relatively inexpensive and can make a big difference in how your house is perceived by potential home buyers. If it is clear that you have skipped out on routine home maintenance, buyers will wonder what else is wrong with the house.

home sold as is

Selling your house as is may seem like the easier option, but it may not be the most financially beneficial. Taking care of regular maintenance items and ensuring your house is in good condition can help you get the most money for your home and attract more potential buyers.
