If you are planning a move to Colorado Springs, you probably want to know what the local housing market looks like before you make any decisions. This is a snapshot of the Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak region market for October 2025, based on single-family and patio home data from the Pikes Peak Multiple Listing Service (PPMLS). The short version: prices held steady, more homes came up for sale, and the pace slowed a little heading into winter. That added up to a more balanced market.
One important note before we dig in. These numbers reflect October 2025, and the market shifts from month to month. By the time you read this, conditions may look different. For the latest figures and what they mean for your situation, it is worth talking to a local agent who tracks this region every day.

What the prices tell us
The average sale price landed at $543,590, which was down 3.8% from September and 2.5% lower than the same time last year. The median sale price came in at $473,500, off just 1.2% from September and roughly 0.3% below October 2024.
The median is often the more useful number for everyday buyers because it sits right in the middle of all sales and is not pulled up or down by a few very expensive homes. The fact that the median barely moved year over year tells you that home values in Colorado Springs have been remarkably steady. For a military family budgeting a purchase, that stability is reassuring. You are not chasing a fast-moving target.
If you are buying with a VA loan (a home loan backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs), steady prices make it easier to plan around your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), the monthly housing stipend the military provides.

More homes, a little more breathing room
October brought 1,389 new listings, up 4.6% from September. There were 3,918 active listings on the market, down 2.3% from the previous month but a notable 15.4% higher than October 2024. In plain terms, there were a lot more homes to choose from than there were a year ago.
That shows up clearly in the months of supply, which measures how long it would take to sell every home currently listed if no new ones came on. Colorado Springs sat at 4.4 months of supply in October, up from 3.9 in September and 3.2 a year earlier. A market with roughly six months of supply is generally considered balanced between buyers and sellers, so 4.4 still tilts slightly toward sellers but is far friendlier to buyers than it was a year ago.

More inventory means more options and, often, more room to negotiate. If you are weighing whether to buy or keep renting, that calculus changes when supply opens up. We broke down that decision in our guide to buying versus renting near a military base, and the same thinking applies in Colorado Springs.
A slower, steadier pace
Closed sales totaled 876 in October, down 14.6% from September. Homes spent an average of about 60 days on the market. A slowdown in closings is normal as the calendar turns toward winter, when fewer families want to move during the holidays and colder weather. There were also 1,366 homes under contract in October, just slightly below the 1,434 logged in October 2024, which signals that buyer demand stayed fairly close to last year's level.
For buyers, a slower pace can be a quiet advantage. With homes sitting a bit longer, you have more time to tour, think, and make a careful offer rather than rushing into a bidding war.

What this means for military buyers
Putting it all together, Colorado Springs in October 2025 looked like a balanced market heading into the winter. Prices were steady, inventory was up sharply from a year ago, and homes were taking a little longer to sell. For active-duty service members, veterans, and military spouses, that combination is encouraging. You get more choices and a calmer pace without the worry of values dropping out from under you.
