Colorado Springs Fall Market Update: What Buyers & Sellers Should Know

Fall is here in the Pikes Peak region, and with the cooler air comes a shift in the real estate market. While summer tends to bring peak activity, autumn has its own advantages for both buyers and sellers. Here’s what you need to know about the Colorado Springs housing market this fall.

For Buyers

Good news—fall often means fewer competing buyers than in the busy summer months. Sellers are motivated, especially those who want to move before winter sets in. This creates opportunities for buyers

 to negotiate favorable terms. Plus, with VA and FHA loan options widely used in our area, especially for military families relocating to Fort Carson or Peterson SFB, this just may be the perfect opportunity to secure your dream home.

For Sellers

Don’t let the cooler temps fool you— buyer demand is still alive. Families relocating with the military continue to fuel the market in Fountain and Security-Widefield. In Peyton/Falcon, larger lot sizes and new builds are drawing in buyers. Meanwhile, Monument remains attractive for luxury seekers wanting mountain views, and Woodland Park is especially popular with second-home buyers who want to enjoy the fall foliage.

Neighborhood Highlights *What I Love about each one*

• Fountain & Security-Widefield: Affordable homes, quick access to I-25, close to the Military Installations, Widefield High Football.

• Monument: Luxury properties, mountain views, coffee shops, mom & pop restaurants, small town vibe. "where everybody knows your name"
