π‘ Market Shift in COS Housing

El Paso County is seeing an increase in unsold builder-owned homes, particularly in communities like Banning Lewis Ranch, where hundreds of newly built properties remain on the market. While development continues across the region, affordability has become a growing challenge, with home prices and rental costs rising much faster than local incomes over the past five years.
Today, the average monthly mortgage can exceed $3,000, requiring significantly higher household earnings to stay within a comfortable budget. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell compared to the fast-moving pandemic market, giving buyers more time and options, but also reflecting a shift in demand as the market adjusts to current economic realities. *Source

ππ Mortgage Whiplash Is Real

Mortgage rates have been on a bit of a rollercoaster, and many in Colorado Springs are feeling it. After gradually declining earlier in 2026, rates have edged back up slightly in March, with the average 30-year mortgage now around 6.1%. At the same time, the Federal Reserve has chosen to pause additional rate cuts after several reductions in late 2025, as it evaluates ongoing economic uncertainty, inflation and global factors.
While rates remain lower than recent highs, the pace of change has slowed, leaving buyers and homeowners in a βwait and seeβ moment. For many, the takeaway is that timing the market perfectly may be less realistic than focusing on affordability and long-term plans. *Read Source
