Market Conditions
According to the RSC / elevate MLS Listing & Sales Summary for May 2026, Colorado Springs single-family homes closed at a median of $499,952 — up 2.0% from $490,000 in May 2025. Average sale price was $577,202. With 3,667 active single-family listings and 2.9 months of supply, the market is tighter than it feels: sellers still have leverage on well-priced homes, while buyers have more time and selection than the 2021–2022 frenzy allowed.
Single-family homes sit at 2.9 months of supply — below the 4–6 months that defines a balanced market. That still favors sellers on correctly priced homes. Condos and townhomes are at 5.0 months, giving condo buyers more negotiating room. Source: RSC / elevate MLS, May 2026.
Homes are averaging 50 days on market — up significantly from the 7–14 day sprints of 2021-2022 but still reasonable. Military neighborhoods like Fountain and Security-Widefield typically move faster due to the constant refresh of PCS buyers regardless of broader conditions. Source: PPRA, May 2026.
Single-family median sale prices are up 2.0% year-over-year ($490K → $499,952). Average sale price is down slightly on a YTD basis (-1.5%), reflecting fewer high-end transactions. The underlying median trend shows a stable, appreciating market — not a declining one. Source: RSC / elevate MLS, May 2026.
1,251 single-family homes closed in May 2026, up 11.3% from April 2026 and up 7.3% from May 2025 — a sign of improving buyer activity. New listings (1,783) exceed sales, which is keeping inventory from tightening further and giving buyers choices they didn't have in 2022. Source: RSC / elevate MLS, May 2026.
