Supply & Demand Dynamics

Supply continues to rise modestly, averaging a 15-20% increase in active listings compared to last year, giving buyers more selection. However, demand remains healthy due to:

  • Strong job growth in tech, defense, and healthcare industries locally.
  • Colorado Springs’ reputation as a high quality-of-life destination with recreational amenities.
  • Millennials entering peak homebuying age continuing to fuel new buyer activity.

On the other hand, rising mortgage interest rates and inflationary pressure are cooling some buyer enthusiasm.

Market Challenges to Watch

  • Affordability Pressure: Median prices near $520K outpace wage growth for many, especially first-time buyers.
  • Mortgage Rate Volatility: Fluctuations can deter marginal buyers or impact purchasing power.
  • Limited Entry-Level Stock: Low supply of homes under $350,000 keeps competition strong in this segment.
  • New Construction Constraints: Labor and supply chain challenges slow down new home builds.

What Buyers & Sellers Should Know in Today’s Market

For Buyers:

  • Get Pre-Approved: Strengthen offers by securing a mortgage pre-approval early.
  • Prioritize Must-Haves: Distinguish between essentials and nice-to-haves to streamline decision making.

  • Stage & Prepare: Invest in curb appeal and minor upgrades; small improvements yield strong ROI.
