If you are looking for sales information, check out Pikes Peak Association of Realtors. This is a great site that can help you get started in your home buying adventure. AHRN also has a For Sale by Owner where active duty military personnel can put in their listing. We cannot recommend any individual or companies because we are regulated by law, but as a general rule if you keep with the well know companies you'll find that your process will go a lot smoother. Family Support provides a quarterly Home Buyer Seminar where a realtor and a loan company agent come in and provide basic information on the home buying process. One of the first things you will need to do is to get yourself pre-qualified to let you know what you can afford. Also, remember that the home buying process could be very time consuming, and in some cases it takes months.
You may also want to do a search for crimes in the area that you are looking to rent or buy (Local Police Departments have that type of information available). Finally, be very careful about renting or buying any property before seeing it first.

HOUSING ALLOWANCES |
Military members are entitled to various allowances to ensure the transition to a new location is as smooth and stress free as possible. If you have any questions about the allowance listed, please contact the HMO.
Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
Military members assigned to Peterson AFB receive Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). The purpose of the BAH program is to provide housing allowances to service members based on median housing costs in local civilian markets. The DoD determines the correct housing allowance to enable members to afford suitable housing within a reasonable distance of their duty location. The allowance is set based on geographic duty location, pay grade, and dependent status and is adjusted each year.
For more information about your BAH, visit the Defense Travel Management Office website.
