How to read these numbers
- Median sale price
- Half the homes that closed sold for more than this, half for less. It moves with what kind of home sold that month, so a quiet month with two big sales can swing it. Redfin's figure for Fort Carson is frozen at May 2026.
- Typical home value (ZHVI)
- Zillow's estimate of what a mid-market home in Fort Carson is worth right now, whether or not it sold. It is smoother than the median sale price and it still refreshes monthly, which is why this page leads with it.
- Months of supply
- How long it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace. Under 3 favors sellers, over 6 favors buyers, and 3 to 6 is the balanced band.
- Days on market
- Median time from listing to accepted offer. Short means you should have financing ready before you tour; long means there is room to negotiate on price and repairs.
- Sale-to-list ratio
- Sale price divided by the last asking price. Above 100% means bidding above asking is normal here; below 100% means the typical buyer got a discount.
- Price per square foot
- The size-adjusted price. Use it to compare a 1,400 sq ft house to a 2,600 sq ft house, not to value your own home — lot, condition and age move it a lot.
- Listings with a price cut
- Share of active listings that dropped their asking price in the month. A high share is the earliest visible sign that sellers are ahead of what buyers will pay.
- Typical asking rent (ZORI)
- Zillow's repeat-rent index for asking rents on new leases. Paired with the home value it gives the price-to-rent ratio in the rent-vs-buy section below.

Is it cheaper to rent or buy in Fort Carson?
Zillow does not publish a rent index (ZORI) for Fort Carson, CO, so we cannot compute a price-to-rent ratio here without borrowing a nearby market's rents and calling them local — which we will not do. The rent vs. buy calculator works with a rent figure you supply.
Is inventory rising or falling in Fort Carson?
We hold fewer than two months of inventory readings for Fort Carson, CO, so there is no trend to report yet.
How does Fort Carson compare to Colorado and the U.S.?
We do not hold a Colorado statewide row for the same period as Fort Carson, so a side-by-side would be comparing two different months. The Colorado housing market hub shows every city we do track, and the comparison tool puts any two markets next to each other.
What to do next in Fort Carson

- Comparable ZIP-level pricing inside Fort Carson varies more than the citywide median suggests — check the ZIP pages below before you set a number.
