How Local Investors Impact Colorado Home Sales in 2025

By Derek and Mariana Wagner

Since launching their real estate careers together on September 11, 2001, Derek and Mariana Wagner have been a trusted team in the Colorado Springs market for over two decades.

Who’s really behind today’s home sales? You might assume it’s big Wall Street firms buying up properties across the country. But in 2025, the reality looks very different: one in three homes is being purchased by local investors, mom-and-pop flippers, rental owners, and small syndications.

This shift is changing the market for everyone involved. Here’s what it means for sellers and buyers:

Faster sales for sellers. Local investors typically make fast, straightforward, and cash-based offers. That means fewer financing issues, fewer delays, and a smoother closing process. Today, many sellers see this as the simplest path to a successful sale.

Challenges for homebuyers. Investors are going after the homes buyers want most, which means more competition for desirable homes. .That dream property you’ve been eyeing might have multiple offers within days, one from cash-ready investors who are tough to beat.
