Colorado Springs, CO by the numbers
Here is how Colorado Springs compares with Colorado on the figures investors check first. All numbers come from the U.S. Census Bureau. They cover every home and renter in the city, not just homes for sale right now, so they usually run lower than the current listing prices and asking rents in the market snapshot.
| Measure | Colorado Springs | CO (state) |
|---|---|---|
| Population (July 1, 2025) | 494,743 | 6,012,561 |
| Population change since April 2020 | 3.1% | 4.1% |
| Median home value | $452,600 | $539,400 |
| Median gross rent | $1,648 | $1,761 |
| Median monthly owner cost (with mortgage) | $2,063 | $2,326 |
| Owner-occupied homes | 60.9% | 66.2% |
| Median household income | $84,818 | $95,470 |
What this means for investors in Colorado Springs
- Price vs. income: the median home costs about 5.3 times the median household income, compared with 5.6 times statewide. A lower ratio usually means more local buyers can qualify, which helps resale and wholesale exits.
- Rent vs. price: a year of median rent equals about 4.4% of the median home value (3.9% statewide). That gross rent ratio favors buy-and-hold investors compared with the state. This is a rough gross figure before taxes, insurance and repairs.
- Renters: about 39% of occupied homes are renter-occupied (34% statewide). A larger renter share means more landlord-owned property, a common source of tired-landlord and absentee-owner leads.
- Population: the city grew (3.1%) between April 2020 and July 2025. Growth supports demand for rehabbed homes and rentals.

Why wholesale real estate in Colorado Springs?
Colorado Springs wholesaling takes little capital, since a purchase contract and earnest money deposit give you control without a loan. The buyer manages repairs, so you stay out of contractor work, and many El Paso County assignments close in weeks.
In fact, Colorado Springs counted about 478,961 residents in the 2020 census and is the seat of El Paso County. Listings are most numerous right now in 80925, 80906 and 80918, so those ZIP codes hold the most motivated sellers.
What are the steps in a Colorado Springs wholesale deal?
In general, a Colorado Springs wholesale deal runs through six steps from first lead to assignment fee:
- Find a distressed property
For example, notices of election and demand at the El Paso County Public Trustee, treasurer tax liens and Fourth Judicial District Court probate cases surface Colorado Springs sellers.
- Run the numbers
Ask an agent for MLS closings, because Colorado deeds do not have to show sale prices, then match comps to split-levels and ranches in the same area.
- Sign a purchase contract
Next, price hail-damaged roofs, expansive soil cracks and radon mitigation into the deal, leaving room for the buyer’s margin and your fee.
- Find a cash buyer
Meanwhile, landlords renting to military families near Fort Carson and flippers in central and older northern neighborhoods anchor the Colorado Springs buyer pool.
- Assign the contract
Assign your purchase contract instead of advertising the home as a listing, and disclose your intent to the seller in writing first.
- Collect your fee
Finally, a Colorado title company handles the closing, clears judgments and HOA liens, and disburses your fee from the buyer’s funds.
Motivated sellers who want to liquidate fast
So ForeclosuresDaily.com’s off-market platform covers every major distress signal in Colorado Springs, cross-referenced with El Paso County tax rolls and assessor records.
How do you price a wholesale deal in Colorado Springs?
To begin with, Colorado Springs offers begin with the ARV, what the house should be worth after repairs.
Using the 70% Rule, a Colorado Springs cash buyer pays no more than 70% of ARV less repairs. Your fee sits inside that number, so your contract price must come in lower.
For example, the math below treats the El Paso County median listing price as the ARV, with an 8% repair budget and a typical assignment fee.
Wholesale offer example
| Step | Amount |
|---|---|
| ARV | $485,000 |
| 70% of ARV − repairs ($39,000) | $300,500 |
| Your assignment fee | − $15,000 |
| Your contract price |
How long foreclosure takes in Colorado
Colorado forecloses out of court through each county’s public trustee, and Colorado Springs homes go through the El Paso County Public Trustee. The stages below show common timing so you can plan outreach.
Colorado Springs loans pass 120 days late
Federal servicing rules generally keep a lender from making a first foreclosure filing on a Colorado Springs home until the borrower is more than 120 days behind.
Notice of election and demand recorded
To begin with, the lender files with the El Paso County Public Trustee, which records the notice and sets the sale date.
Combined notice mailed and published
Then, the El Paso County Public Trustee mails notice to the owner and publishes it ahead of the sale.
Intent to cure deadline
However, a Colorado Springs owner can halt the sale by filing a notice of intent to cure and paying what is owed.
Public trustee sale and redemption
The home sells at the public trustee auction, and the owner generally cannot redeem afterward, though junior lienors may.
Best outreach window: Check the El Paso County Public Trustee for each new notice of election and demand and reach Colorado Springs owners in the first month or two after it records, well ahead of the last day to file a notice of intent to cure.

How do you find cash buyers in Colorado Springs?
Have Colorado Springs buyers ready before your first contract. Target cash buyers who close quickly, such as flippers, landlords and small builders.
What does contract assignment involve in Colorado?
Through an assignment, your rights as buyer under a purchase agreement pass to another investor. Colorado has no wholesaler statute, but its broker licensing law can reach anyone who markets property they do not own, so have a Colorado real estate attorney review your Colorado Springs contracts.
Colorado Springs pricing for wholesale buyers
Colorado Springs posts a median home value of $452,600, a level set by steady military, defense and health care employment.
Older homes near downtown and in the central and southeastern parts of the city usually sell below that figure, while newer neighborhoods to the north, such as Briargate, and areas near the foothills often sell above it. In particular, wholesale contracts tend to come from dated split-levels and ranch homes owned for decades or inherited by family members.
About 60.9% of homes are owner-occupied, so owners outnumber renters, though the military presence keeps rental demand consistent. Meanwhile, median household income is $84,818, and the value-to-income ratio is about 5.3.
Frequent military transfers create sellers who must move on short notice, sometimes before a house is ready to list. As a result, those owners can be strong wholesale prospects, provided you treat their timelines with respect and offer a straightforward close that fits their orders.
Hail, soils and the numbers behind an offer
Comps should come from MLS closings pulled by an agent, since Colorado does not require sale prices on recorded deeds, though the documentary fee on each deed hints at the price.
Repair budgets here are driven by roofs damaged by hail, expansive soils that crack foundations and slabs, older furnaces and water heaters, and radon mitigation, which many buyers request. Sewer line scopes on older homes and wildfire defensible space near the foothills also come up during inspections.
As an illustration, if a renovated home would sell at the $452,600 median, a 70% formula gives a buyer’s ceiling of $316,820 before repairs and fees.
Therefore, a foundation or full roof replacement lowers that number fast, which is why structural reports matter here. The Colorado documentary fee on that sale would be only $45.26, at one cent per $100 of price, so state transfer costs barely affect your margin. Repairs and buyer formulas drive the math instead.
El Paso County foreclosure and tax lien sources
Colorado uses a public trustee system, and the El Paso County Public Trustee handles foreclosures of deeds of trust for Colorado Springs homes.
After the lender files a notice of election and demand, the sale is set 110 to 125 days later. The owner may cure by filing a notice of intent to cure at least 15 days before the sale. There is generally no redemption right for the homeowner after the sale, so contact must happen early.
In addition, the El Paso County Treasurer runs an annual online tax lien sale each fall. For example, the 2026 interest rate is 13%, set at nine points above the federal discount rate.
After three years an unredeemed lien holder may apply for a treasurer’s deed, and since a 2024 law that deed is offered at public auction with surplus protections for the owner. Meanwhile, probate cases for Colorado Springs estates go to the Fourth Judicial District Court in El Paso County.
Colorado closings and wholesaling law status
Colorado Springs at a glance
In general, Colorado foreclosures run through each county’s public trustee.
Once a district court authorizes the sale, the El Paso County Public Trustee holds the auction 110 to 125 days after the lender’s notice records, and the owner has no right to buy the home back afterward. The weeks before that sale are usually the best time for a Colorado Springs wholesaler to make an offer.
Colorado Springs data on this page comes from U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, Colorado Springs city, Colorado (2020 to 2024 American Community Survey plus a July 1, 2025 population estimate), and the public trustee steps from our state foreclosure law summary.
Title companies close nearly all Colorado residential deals. They use contract forms that the Colorado Real Estate Commission approves when brokers are involved.
Colorado has no state transfer tax beyond the documentary fee, though some municipalities charge their own, so check locally. Get title work early, because judgments, HOA liens and old deeds of trust can delay closings. Ask the title officer whether assignments or double closings work better in that office.
As of 2026, Colorado has no statute aimed specifically at real estate wholesalers, though buying from an owner in foreclosure falls under the Colorado Foreclosure Protection Act.
Colorado’s broker licensing law, enforced by the Division of Real Estate, can reach anyone who markets a property they do not own or negotiates on behalf of others for a fee.
Assign your purchase contract instead of advertising the home as a listing, disclose your intent to the seller in writing, and consult a Colorado real estate attorney before you start marketing deals.
Who buys Colorado Springs deals
The $1,648 median gross rent comes to $19,776 a year, about 4.4% of the median value before expenses.
With roughly 39.1% of homes rented, landlords have a steady pool of tenants, including military families who receive housing allowances and move on regular cycles.
Rental buyers in Colorado Springs prefer homes with newer roofs, sound foundations and simple floor plans that are easy to turn over between tenants. In addition, Fort Carson and the area’s other bases keep that demand fairly steady.
Meanwhile, flippers compete for homes in central and older northern neighborhoods where buyers pay for updated kitchens and baths.
Finally, builders and small developers look at lots on the east and southeast sides and at larger parcels near the edges of the city. Some investors also target homes with basements that can be finished to add bedrooms. Learn which buyers carry structural risk well and which avoid it, then send foundation issue deals only to the former.
Consistent effort finding, negotiating and closing Colorado Springs deals can lead to lasting wealth and financial independence.
