Unpacking the August 2025 Colorado Springs Market: What's Really Going On?
We're back with a fresh look at the Colorado Springs real estate market, and the official
August 2025 numbers from the Pike Peak Association of REALTORS® (PPR) are telling a
very interesting story. At the first glance, some numbers point to a cooling market, but when
you dig deeper, a more complex and nuance picture emerges.
The main theme for August is rebalancing. We're seeing a push-and-pull between slowing
sales and tightening inventory. This creates a unique environment with district challenges
and opportunities, whether you're looking to buy or sell. Let's break down what it means for
you.
The Big Picture: A Market of Mixed Signals
The data for August shows a market that is moderating. The pace is less frantic, giving
everyone more time to think. However, a drop in the number of homes for sale is creating a
fascinating dynamic. This isn't a simple buyer's or seller's market; it's a market that
requires a smart strategy.
For Our Sellers: The Power of Scarcity
If you are thinking of selling, the data presents a two-sided coin, but with a significant silver
lining.
The Reality Check: The Median Close Price adjusted downward by 3.5% to $480,000. At the
same time, homes are taking longer to sell, with the Median Days in MLS now at a tangible
43 days. This tells us that pricing your home correctly from day one is more critical than
ever.
Your key advantage is Inventory: Here's where the story gets interesting for sellers. The
supply of homes is shrinking. New Listings dropeed by a substatial 11.8%, and the overall
Months of Inventory is also down 8% to just 4 months. In simple terms: there is less
competition for your home. In a market with fewer options, a well-maintained and
beautifully presented property will command serious attention.
Our advice for sellers: While the market pace has slowed, the shrinking inventory is your
advantage. Let's focus on making your home the standout choice. A strategic price and
exceptional marketing will capture the right buyers who have fewer great homes to choose
from.
For Our Buyers: Your Leverage is Time
For those looking to purchase a home, August's numbers confirm that you have more
breathing room and control in the process.
More Time, Less Pressure: With homes on the market for an average of 43 days, the
pressure to make a snap decision is off. This gives you valuable time to find the right
property, condict inspections, and negotiate without the frenzy of a super-hot market.
Negotiating Power: The 3.5% dip in the median price, combined with a 9.8% drop in Closed
Homes, shows that sellers are more willing to negotiate. This is your opportunity to find a
great home at a price that works for you.
A Stable Market: It's important to note that Pending Sales were nearly flat (up just .03%).
This indicates that demand is holding steady. The market isn't in a freefall; it's finding a
new, more sustainable pace. Good homes are still selling.
Our advice for buyers: This is a fantastic time to be looking. You have the leverage of time
and more negotiating power. Get your financing ready so you can make a strong, confident
offer when you find the home you love.
