Housing in Cañon City

Sources cited $389,900 (Movoto, April 2026 sales), $350,000 (Redfin, new-listings median), $337,683 (Zillow typical home value, June 30, 2026), and $316,100 (Niche) -- a real spread of roughly $74,000 across sources, disclosed here rather than resolved into one falsely precise number (retrieved 2026-08-24). All four land well below the Colorado state average -- one comparison cites Cañon City real estate as 28.4% below the Colorado average, with a 4.5 price-to-income ratio (11.8% below the state average).
A slower-paced market than some other Colorado markets in this dataset
Properties in Cañon City average 75 days on market, down from 96 days the prior year -- a real, if modest, acceleration in market pace year over year, still generally slower than a hot seller's market.
A genuinely older housing stock in parts of the city
Cañon City's downtown historic district features Classical Revival and Late Victorian architecture built between 1870 and 1900, alongside newer housing developments elsewhere in the city -- a real mix of eras rather than a uniformly new or uniformly old housing stock.
