The median price of single-family homes in Colorado Springs for 2026 is between approximately $439,900 and $455,000. Data shows this is an increase of about 2-3% compared to the previous year, indicating that the years of rapid price increases are coming to an end and the market is stabilizing. In short, Colorado Springs has transitioned into a market where calm value analysis is possible, rather than panic buying.

Looking at the numbers, as of March 2026, the active listings totaled 2,118, which is a 27.1% increase compared to the same period last year. The rate of inventory increase is significantly higher than the national average. However, in May, new listings decreased by 13%, marking the first slowdown in inventory growth, which is an important variable for predicting future price trends. Traditionally, May is the month with the highest number of listings, so the decrease is noteworthy.

Data indicates that prices have fluctuated within a relatively narrow range for over the past four years. From late 2025 to early 2026, the median transaction price remained in the mid-$400,000 range, with monthly variations of about 5-6%. This sharply contrasts with the period immediately after the pandemic, when prices were rising by 20-30% annually. The current market character is best classified as a stable phase with neither sharp increases nor decreases.

The most significant change brought about by the surge in inventory is the restoration of buyer negotiation power. In the past, multiple offer competitions occurred as soon as listings hit the market, but in 2026, buyers now have the time to compare properties and negotiate prices. According to ColoradoBiz, the entire housing market in Colorado has shifted to a buyer's advantage in 2026, with Colorado Springs being one of the markets that best illustrates this trend.

• Median transaction price as of May 2026: approximately $450,000 (up about 3.2% year-over-year)
• Median asking price for single-family homes: $439,900 (as of May 2026)
• Active listings: 2,118 (March 2026, +27.1% year-over-year)
• New listing change: May 2026 -13% (seasonal decrease at an unusual level)
• Price outlook for 2026: expected moderate increase of 2-4% year-over-year
• 30-year fixed mortgage rate: remains in the high 6% range (a constraint on market transaction speed)

From an investment perspective, it is important to note that the demand base for the entire Pikes Peak region remains strong. There is ongoing demand from military personnel at Fort Carson and Peterson Space Force Base, along with the structural appeal of relatively lower living costs compared to Denver. The increase in inventory does not mean that demand has disappeared. However, unless mortgage rates drop easily from the high 6% range, it seems unlikely that transaction speeds will recover to pre-pandemic levels.

The data suggests that Colorado Springs is currently in a position where there is no urgent need to rush or fear losses from waiting. With sufficient inventory and room for price negotiation, buyers can be seen as being in a favorable position. However, it is essential to consider that the market varies significantly by region and property conditions.
