Spring Selling Season Still Strong in Northern Colorado Springs

📍Northern Colorado Springs Spring Market Update: There's Still Time to List — But Don’t Wait Too Long

If you’ve been thinking about listing your home in 80921, 80908, or 80132 this year, you may be wondering whether you missed the “best” window. After all, April 13–19 was recently spotlighted by Realtor.com as the ideal time to sell nationally.

But let’s be clear — you haven’t missed your opportunity.

In fact, according to both national data and our own local trends, Northern Colorado Springs is still well within prime selling season — and waiting much longer could cost you in the form of increased competition and diluted buyer demand.

🔑 New Listings Are Surging — Especially in Black Forest and Monument

As of April 21, our local market has seen 189 new listings this month across 80921, 80908, and 80132. That’s already closing in on March’s total of 230 new listings — and we still have time left in the month.

👉 Where is the activity concentrated?
Most new listings this month are popping up in 80908 (Black Forest area), followed by 80132 (Monument) and 80921 (Northgate/Flying Horse). With Colorado Springs’ expansion trending northeast, it’s no surprise to see Black Forest gaining traction with new builds and land-rich properties coming to market.

🏡 Buyer Hesitancy Is Real, But Well-Priced Homes Still Move

With economic uncertainty, rate volatility, and inflation in the mix, many buyers remain hesitant. However, serious buyers are still making offers — especially when a home is well-presented and competitively priced.

Median Days on Market in April (so far):

• 80921: 33 days

• 80908: 32 days

• 80132: 14 days

Across our entire area of operation, April’s median DOM is just 20 days, down from 31 in March — indicating that when buyers do act, they’re acting quickly.

🎯 Should You List Now or Wait Until Summer?

If you’re debating when to list, here’s my take:

List now if you’re ready.
More inventory is hitting the market weekly, and it’s unclear whether buyer demand will keep up. If too many sellers flood the market in May and June, we may see a shift toward a buyer-favored market.

If you wait and more listings continue to pop up, you risk getting lost in the crowd — or being forced to reduce your price.

💡 Pro Tip: Price It Right the First Time

Unless your home has extremely unique features, I strongly recommend pricing it competitively from day one. The days of “testing the market” with an inflated list price are behind us. With more sellers this year than last, you need to stand out — not get buried.

✅ Bottom Line for Local Sellers

Spring is still the best time to list — but the window won’t stay open forever. With inventory growing and buyers proceeding cautiously, the homes that shine (and sell) will be those that are well-prepared, well-marketed, and priced for today’s conditions.
