Colorado Springs real estate market update: October 2026 data
In Broadmoor-area 80906, Redfin’s October median came in about 15% below a year ago, a large swing that can reflect the mix of homes that sold, not every house moving that much. Nearby 80919 went the other way, up 5.4%, with sales about even with last October.
| Area | Median sale price (3 mo. to Oct) | vs. last year | Sold in Oct (Oct 2025) | Median days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado Springs 80906 | $494,746 | −15.4% | 127 (136) | 54 |
| Colorado Springs 80919 | $584,700 | +5.4% | 98 (97) | 42 |
The bigger picture: Redfin’s October report (Nov 10) found the U.S. median sale price slipped 0.4% from a year earlier to $388,634, the first annual dip since May 2023, and 36% of homes had a price cut. Local numbers like yours matter more than the national headline. Read more.
Mortgage rates: Freddie Mac’s survey for the week of Nov 12 put the 30-year fixed at 7.11% and the 15-year at 6.45%, the fourth weekly drop in a row. Daily rate trackers can still move day to day, so check today’s rate before you lock. Read more.
Sources: Redfin housing-market pages for each ZIP (all home types; Redfin calculations from MLS and/or public records), October 2026 data, checked Nov 11, 2026 PT. Median sale price is Redfin’s three-month figure ending October; “sold” is homes sold in October 2026 vs. October 2025. Single ZIPs swing with the mix of homes that sold, so a big jump or drop is not the same as your home’s value moving that much. Freddie Mac PMMS, Nov 12, 2026 (national averages, not a quote).
