When Is the Best Time to Buy or Sell in Colorado Springs?

This is one of the questions I hear the most—and the honest answer is: it depends on you. While spring and summer bring more listings and activity, the best time to buy or sell isn’t just about the season—it’s about your readiness, goals, and strategy.

Many people hold back from entering the market because of fear—fear of making a mistake, of overpaying, of timing it wrong, or of not knowing where to start. But the truth is, waiting often costs more than acting with a plan.

As Warren Buffett said,

“Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”

Sometimes the best opportunities appear when others are hesitant.

Buying? Consider:

Are you financially prepared?

Are you clear on what you want?

Are you ready to act when the right home appears?

Selling? Ask yourself:

Is your home market-ready?

Do you have a timeline in mind?

Are you working with someone who knows how to position your home for top dollar?

As Brian Buffini reminds us,

“Don’t wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait.”

The best time to make a move isn’t about the calendar—it’s about your confidence and clarity. Let’s talk about your goals, tackle the fears that might be holding you back, and create a plan that fits your life—not just the market.
