Your September 2025 Colorado Springs Market Update: What's Really Going On?

Navigating the real estate market can feel like trying to read a map in a foreign language. Numbers go up, numbers go down... but what does it all mean for you? Whether you're thinking of selling your home or buying a new one, let's break down what happened in the Colorado Springs real estate market this September.

Think of it as a market that's finally catching its breath.

For Our Sellers: The Game Has Changed (A Little)

If you're thinking of selling, the headline news is that prices are holding steady. The median closing price was $479,450, which is a tiny dip of just .12%. In the grand scheme of things, that’s basically stable. Your home's value is holding strong.

Here's the catch: homes are taking a bit longer to sell. The average time on the market jumped to 54 days. The days of listing on a Friday and having a bidding war by Saturday are cooling off.

What does this mean for you?

• Less Competition: With fewer new and active listings on the market, your property has a better chance to stand out.

• Patience is Key: Buyers are taking more time to make decisions. It’s more important than ever to price your home correctly from the start and present it in the best possible light. A smart strategy is now more important than just speed.

For Our Buyers: You've Got Some Breathing Room

If you’ve felt frustrated by the market over the past couple of years, this is your moment. The market is shifting in a way that gives you more power.

The number of homes for sale ("Months of Inventory") is up, and as we mentioned, homes are sitting on the market longer.

What does this mean for you?

• More Choices, Less Rush: You have more time to look at properties and find the one that truly fits your needs without the intense pressure of making a snap decision.

• Negotiating Power: With fewer pending sales and a more balanced market, there's more room for negotiation. You're in a better position to make a reasonable offer without having to waive every contingency.

The Bottom Line

The Colorado Springs market isn't crashing; it's balancing. We're moving away from the frenzy and toward a more normal, healthy real estate environment. This is good news for everyone! It creates a market where both buyers and sellers can achieve their goals without the chaos.

Success in this new market is all about having the right information and the right team on your side.
