Colorado Springs is El Paso County's largest city and the Front Range's second-biggest metro, set against the base of Pikes Peak. It is really a collection of distinct markets, from historic districts near downtown to family neighborhoods in the north to mountain-view communities in the southwest, with prices spanning from the $300,000s into the millions. Recent sales put the median around $460,000 for the city and $485,000 for El Paso County (Redfin 2026; Pikes Peak Association of Realtors, April 2026). Families and military buyers come for the schools, the four installations, and the outdoors, and Jeff and Lane Morrell and their team have served buyers and sellers across this market for 24 years, with more than 2,000 homes sold.
Colorado Springs at a Glance
Colorado Springs Market Trends
The Colorado Springs market has cooled from the frantic years of multiple offers and waived inspections. Days on market sit around 42 to 43, listings have grown, and the median has moved only modestly: roughly $460,000 for the city and $485,000 for the county in spring 2026 (Redfin; Pikes Peak Association of Realtors, April 2026). That is good news for buyers, who now have time to compare neighborhoods and negotiate, and still healthy for sellers who price realistically. The four military installations, a growing aerospace and tech economy, and the pull of the mountains keep demand steady underneath it all. For the most current numbers in a specific neighborhood, text us and we will pull today's figures.
