A Quick Look at Colorado Springs’ Long-Term Housing Outlook

I get asked about this a lot, so I recorded a short video walking through the bigger picture.

Colorado Springs continues to stand out as a city with strong long-term housing fundamentals. A mix of population growth, job expansion, and national housing trends is quietly shaping what the next decade may look like.

In the video, I cover a few of the biggest forces I’m watching:

Pent-up buyer demand waiting for affordability to improve
Lower rates and new loan options that increase buying power
Millennials and Gen Z entering peak home-buying years
A national housing shortage supporting long-term values
Continued growth in aerospace, military, tech, and cybersecurity jobs
Colorado Springs’ lifestyle appeal and room to grow

Taken together, these trends help explain why many experts believe today’s prices may look very different a decade from now.

If you ever come across a friend, neighbor, or coworker thinking about buying, selling, or investing in Colorado Springs, I’m always happy to be a no-pressure resource.

🎥 Watch the full video above for a grounded look at what’s really happening in Colorado Springs.

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Ranks #2 for BEST ZOO LIGHTS

If you’re looking for something festive that actually feels magical, the Electric Safari at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is a must-see this season.

Recently ranked #2 Zoo Lights in the country by USA Today, Electric Safari transforms the zoo into a glowing winter wonderland — and it’s not just lights.

Here’s what makes it special:

A nightly drone show at 7:30 PM (yes… drones!)
Santa sightings and hot cocoa to keep things cozy
A holiday-lit Sky Ride with incredible views
Larger-than-life inflatable animals that kids (and adults) can’t stop smiling about

It’s one of those experiences that feels joyful, local, and memorable — whether you’re taking little ones, hosting visitors from out of town, or just leaning into the season.

I’ve included a link below with dates, tickets, and all the details so you can plan a visit if it sounds like your kind of fun.
