A Redfin-derived recent-month figure cites $400K, down 5.9% YoY, at $197 per square foot (up 5.9% YoY on a per-square-foot basis -- a real, disclosed tension worth noting, consistent with a shift toward smaller homes selling rather than a simple across-the-board price decline). A separate July 2026 snapshot cites $415K. Both figures come in below the levels documented for the wider Colorado Springs metro elsewhere in this dataset.
A market with real, if modest, competition
The Fountain housing market is described as "somewhat competitive," with homes selling in 63 days per one source and a median of 45 days on market per another (retrieved 2026-08-24) -- neither a slow, deeply buyer-favoring market nor a frenzied seller's market.
Rent varies widely by source -- budget with a range
As covered in the cost-of-living topic, rent estimates ranged from $1,200 to $2,438 depending on unit size and aggregator this session -- pull current listings for a specific property rather than relying on one citywide average.
