As of October 7, 2025, Pueblo’s housing market is…calmer. Prices are holding in the high-$200Ks inside the city, homes are taking longer to sell than during the pandemic boom, and buyers have a bit more negotiating power than last year. Sellers can still win if they price right and present well. Here’s what that means for you.
Market Snapshot — Pueblo & Pueblo County (Late 2025)
Metric | Value | Notes / Source |
Median sale price (city of Pueblo, Aug 2025) | $272,500 | Up ~1.0% year-over-year Redfin |
Median days on market to pending (city) | 51 days | “Pending” = under contract Redfin |
Number of homes sold in Pueblo city (Aug) | 123 | Slight decline vs. last year Redfin |
Median sale price (Pueblo County, single-family, rolling 12-month) | ~$320,000 | County marker — outward areas count too Redfin |
Median price in high-end submarket (Regency, Pueblo) | $351,900 | Up ~1.4% YoY in August 2025 Redfin |
Median price in entry / value submarket (Sunset, Pueblo) | $283,850 | Down ~14.0% YoY in August 2025 Redfin |
Takeaway: Within the city, homes are consistently closing in the mid-$200Ks, showing mild appreciation from last year. Upscale neighborhoods like Regency continue to climb, while value areas such as Sunset show softening as affordability pressures and buyer caution rise.
Buyer & Seller Experience
Negotiation is back. The average home sells for about 97% of list price. Overpriced homes sit; competitively priced homes still attract solid offers.
Time is back in the market. Plan on roughly 7–12 weeks from list to close. City homes go pending in about 51 days, while county properties average 82 days to close.
More choice than in 2022. Inventory now sits around 1,150 active listings — roughly 5.9 months of supply — signaling a balanced market with a buyer’s edge.
Rents & Investor Insights
Average Asking Rent: ~$1,406 (Aug 2025) — up 3.3% year-over-year (Zillow).Rent growth has cooled but remains steady, offering predictable income for long-term landlords.
Investor Note: With 30-year fixed rates hovering near 6.34% (Freddie Mac, Oct 2025), cash flow depends on smart buys — think small multifamily, value-add single-family homes, or properties offering seller concessions. Builder and seller incentives are once again common.
Micro-Market Highlights
Entry-level neighborhoods with smaller homes and updated interiors often sell near list price and go pending fastest.
Pueblo West and county properties list higher and take longer to close — a more negotiation-friendly environment overall.
Insurance & wildfire exposure are real factors in budgeting, particularly west of Pueblo Boulevard; we can help evaluate risk before you buy.
What does this Mean for Me?
If You’re Buying
Use your leverage. With sale-to-list ratios below 100%, you can often negotiate seller-paid closing costs or rate buydowns to lower monthly payments.
Start with the payment. At today’s 6.34% rate, I’ll help you model your monthly costs across FHA, VA, and Conventional options — and target listings where negotiation potential is highest.
Be ready for gems. Turnkey, correctly priced homes still move quickly — we’ll set real-time alerts and tour fast.
If You’re Selling
Price for precision, not hope. Buyers are comparing aggressively online. List where the comps support — not your wish price — to avoid sitting 60+ days.
Presentation wins. Pre-inspections, small repairs, and professional photos can be the difference between 97% and 100% of list.
Strategy matters. I use live micro-market data (DOM, concessions, list-to-close spread) to time adjustments, structure credits, and rank offers beyond price.
The Bigger Picture
Mortgage rates control the tempo. Freddie Mac’s 6.34% average rate (Oct 2) shapes affordability. If rates dip this winter, expect a quick rebound in pending sales; if not, longer days-on-market should continue.
Inventory is healing, not flooding. Supply has normalized from 2021–2022’s record lows — offering breathing room without tipping into a buyer’s glut.
Ready to Make a Smart Move?
Buyers: Let’s turn that 3% negotiation window into a rate buydown or closing-cost credit that saves you hundreds per month.
Sellers: I’ll price you for today’s market, stage for maximum appeal, and negotiate strategically to protect your net.
