What November’s Colorado Springs Housing Market Means for Buyers

Colorado Springs housing market update at a glance

The Colorado Springs housing market is entering a rare sweet spot for buyers. Prices have stabilized after summer highs, inventory is up, and interest rates are beginning to soften, creating a short window where buyers can act before competition returns in early 2026.

This matters because timing your purchase now can mean securing a better price, more negotiating room, and less pressure from competing offers. Homes are sitting longer, sellers are more flexible, and you have the power to shop with confidence instead of urgency.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, leveraging VA benefits, or planning to move up, this season rewards preparation and smart strategy. With the right guidance, you can lock in value today that may not last once demand rebounds after the new year.

October 2025 Market Snapshot

According to the Pikes Peak REALTOR® Services Corp (RSC):

• New listings: 1,389 (up 4.6% from September)
• Closed sales: 876 (down 14.6%)
• Median sale price: $473,500 (down 1.2%)
• Average sale price: $543,590 (down 3.8%)
• Average days on market: 52 days
• Months of supply: 4.5, up from 3.9

Condos and townhomes also saw increased inventory with new listings up 13.5% and prices holding near $319,500. For buyers, this means more options, more negotiable terms, and less bidding pressure.

What This Means for Colorado Springs Home Buyers

After two years of limited inventory and fierce bidding wars, Colorado Springs buyers finally have leverage—and it’s changing the game.

• You have room to breathe. Active listings are up nearly 15% year over year, giving buyers more choices across neighborhoods, price points, and home styles. Instead of rushing, you can find a home that fits both your needs and your budget.
• Prices are steady and predictable. After several volatile years, home values are holding firm, creating a more balanced market. That stability gives buyers confidence to act without worrying about sudden spikes or steep drops.
• Negotiation power is back. Roughly 40% of listings have seen price reductions, and homes that sit longer than 30 days are prime opportunities for negotiation. Buyers can often secure concessions for closing costs, rate buydowns, or home improvements—advantages that were nearly impossible during peak competition.
• VA and first-time buyers are in a strong position. Increased inventory and easing interest rates mean less competition from cash-heavy investors. VA buyers can take full advantage of zero-down financing, while first-time buyers benefit from lender incentives and local grants that stretch purchasing power.
• Now is the time to act strategically. A modest drop in interest rates could quickly reignite bidding wars by spring. Buying before that surge allows you to capture seller flexibility now—and refinance later if rates improve.

In short, this is the first market in years that truly favors smart, prepared buyers. Acting before the next wave of demand could mean the difference between competing and winning.

November–December Forecast: Why Now Is a Smart Time to Buy

As the Colorado Springs housing market heads into winter, the market is shifting into a phase that quietly favors buyers who act before the crowd. While inventory naturally dips through December, the homes that remain are listed by serious sellers—those motivated to close before year’s end. That combination creates ideal conditions for strategic buyers.

• Inventory will tighten—but quality rises. Fewer listings hit the market during the holidays, but the homes that stay active often come from sellers ready to negotiate and close quickly. This gives buyers an opportunity to secure well-positioned homes without the frenzy of peak season.
• Prices are holding steady. Median prices are expected to remain within 1–2% of current levels, providing stability and confidence for buyers weighing long-term investment value.
• Negotiation power remains strong. With average days on market hovering in the 50s, many sellers are offering closing cost credits, rate buydowns, or other incentives to attract serious offers. This is a sharp contrast to the competitive conditions seen earlier in the year.
• Rates could shift fast. Mortgage rates are flirting with the mid-6% range. If they dip even slightly, sidelined buyers will re-enter the market—potentially reigniting competition by early 2026. Buying now allows you to take advantage of calmer conditions and refinance later if rates improve further.
• The bottom line: Late 2025 offers one of the most balanced buying windows in years—enough inventory to choose from, stable pricing, and motivated sellers who are ready to deal. For buyers who want to get ahead of the 2026 spring rush, the time to move is now.
