Spring 2025: Smart Selling Tips for Northern Colorado Springs
Why Now Might Not Be the Sweet Spot for Sellers in Northern Colorado Springs
Localized Blog Content:
In Northern Colorado Springs (80921, 80908, and 80132), the real estate landscape is shifting this spring — and it's important for buyers and sellers alike to be strategic. 📊
As of April 2025, our area has seen 232 new listings, compared to 197 in April 2024. That's a significant uptick in inventory — meaning more competition for sellers, and more choice for buyers.
However, homes aren't flying off the market quite as quickly. The median cumulative days on market (CDOM) has increased from 18 days last year to 27 days this year. While still relatively healthy, this signals a market balancing out — not the ultra-competitive frenzy we've seen in previous springs.
📉 Buyer and Seller Behavior:
-
Sellers are motivated by economic uncertainty, rising insurance premiums, and the need to “cash out” while prices remain historically high.
-
Buyers are much more cautious. Life events (job relocation, family changes) are the biggest drivers. Many buyers today are financially secure — but unwilling to act unless the right opportunity arises.
🏠 Advice for Sellers:
If you're considering selling, here are some key questions:
-
Is your move driven by a life event (job, family, lifestyle)?
-
Can you sell without compromising your financial comfort?
-
Are you prepared for your home to potentially sit longer than expected?
Pricing remains the most critical factor. Overpricing in this market — even slightly — risks your home sitting while newer, more competitively-priced listings grab buyer attention.
While KCM nationally frames this season as a "sweet spot," here locally, the truth is more nuanced. Sellers who need to move should list now, but should do so with realistic expectations about pricing, timing, and buyer behavior. 🌲
