When most people think about the “best time” to buy a home, spring and summer usually come to mind. But here in Colorado Springs, fall can actually be one of the smartest seasons to make a move — especially for veterans and military families. Here’s why:
1. Less Competition = More Opportunities
By fall, the summer rush has slowed down. Families who needed to move before the school year have already bought, leaving fewer buyers in the market. That means less competition for you and a better chance of your offer being accepted — even if you’re using VA benefits in a competitive price range.
2. Sellers Are More Motivated
Homes that are still on the market in the fall often belong to sellers who are ready to negotiate. Whether they want to relocate before the holidays or are simply tired of waiting, motivated sellers can mean better deals and more flexibility on terms.
3. More Time for Serious Buyers
Fall buyers are focused. With the holidays right around the corner, serious buyers and sellers alike want to move quickly and efficiently. This creates a smoother, faster process for everyone involved.
4. The Weather Is On Your Side
Fall in Colorado Springs is gorgeous — crisp mornings, sunny afternoons, and breathtaking mountain views. 🍁 This makes it easier (and more enjoyable) to tour homes, schedule inspections, and plan your move before the snow hits.
5. VA Loan Advantages Shine in the Fall
Veterans and active-duty buyers using VA loans often find more success in fall, when the pace of the market slows. Sellers are more open to considering VA-backed offers when they’re not juggling multiple bids. This gives you a chance to leverage one of your most powerful benefits without added stress.
Bottom Line
If you’ve been thinking about buying in Colorado Springs, don’t overlook the fall season. 🍂 With less competition, motivated sellers, and VA loan advantages, this could be the perfect window to find your next home.
