Colorado Springs Market Update: 4,028 Homes for Sale, Selling at 99.1% of List (October 2026)

Colorado Springs's housing market is heading into the fall with a full head of steam — and the numbers tell a clear story. According to AreaPro market data as of October 10, 2026, there are 4,028 active listings across the city, sellers are getting 99.1% of list price on average, and homes that sell are going under contract in about 52 days. Whether you're thinking of buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on your home's value, here's what the latest data shows.

How fast homes are moving

Speed is the headline. Homes that sold in the last six months spent an average of just 52 days on the market — while the homes still sitting active today average 91 days. That gap tells you something useful: well-priced, well-presented homes are moving quickly, and the ones lingering tend to be the ones that missed the mark on price or presentation. Right now 430 homes are pending sale, a 11% pending ratio, which means strong demand is still absorbing new listings. Browse homes for sale in Colorado Springs to see what's moving this week.

What sellers are getting

The average sold price over the last six months landed at $523,631 — and sellers collected 99.1% of their final list price on average. That is about as close to full asking as markets get, and it means pricing discipline is paying off: the typical seller listed at $542,540 originally, adjusted to $529,658, and closed at $523,631. Small, strategic adjustments — not fire sales — are how deals are getting done. If you're curious where your own home fits, Find out what your home is worth with a current valuation.

Where the action is: the $350,000–$600,000 stretch

The engine of Colorado Springs's market sits squarely between $350,000–$600,000. The $400,000–$450,000 band alone produced 755 sales in six months — more than any other slice — at 99.8% of list price, with 545 homes currently active. Just below it, the $350,000–$400,000 band added another 709 sales at 99.6% of list. Together, these two bands account for a large share of all recent sales. Above that, the $500,000–$600,000 band is holding at 99.4% of list price. And at the top end, homes priced at $1,250,000+: 166 active listings against 7.6 months of supply.

Supply check: 5.1 months of inventory

Colorado Springs is carrying 5.1 months of supply with a 19.5% absorption rate — a market with real choices for buyers but still firm enough that sellers are getting near asking. For context, six months of supply is the traditional line between a seller's and a buyer's market. Under $500,000, supply runs at 5.2 months, giving first-time and move-up buyers a bit more breathing room — and 2,891 sales in six months at 99.3% of list shows that segment is plenty active.

The seasonal rhythm

Sales followed the classic annual curve this year: a spring surge peaking around April, a strong early summer, and a gradual settle back toward ~611 sales per month by early October. That's the normal seasonal pattern, not a warning sign — fall buyers face less competition while sellers still benefit from steady demand. With mortgage rates in the low 7s, buyers who stay in the game are finding something the spring crowds didn't have: room to negotiate on the homes that have been sitting. Our recent guide to buying when rates topped 7.5% breaks down the moves working right now.

What this means for your move

If you're selling in Colorado Springs, the data rewards preparation: price to the comps, present the home well, and the market is paying close to asking in a matter of weeks. If you're buying, the opportunity is in the active inventory — 4,028 choices, a 11% pending ratio, and sellers who have already shown they'll adjust to meet the market. Either way, the numbers favor the side that comes prepared. Talk to a local expert about what these trends mean for your specific home or search.
