Home Prices in Salida and Buena Vista Colorado Just Did Something Unexpected

The spring housing market in Chaffee County Colorado is showing some surprising numbers and if you are thinking about buying or selling in Salida or Buena Vista, you need to see this before you make a move. In March 2026, the median home price jumped 12% from last month and 20% from last year, landing at $829,000 for the county while inventory climbed significantly with 231 active listings. But despite the seasonal surge, homes are still sitting at 95 days on the market which is unusually high for this time of year. The good news for buyers is that Chaffee County remains a buyer's market with real negotiation leverage, more time to make decisions, and mortgage rates still lower than they have been in the last two years. For sellers, the data is sending a clear message that pricing your home correctly from day one is no longer optional. Monica McCarthy breaks down every key metric including inventory, buyer demand, days on market, and percent of list price received so you know exactly where the market stands heading into spring 2026. 🚚 Moving to SALIDA COLORADO?
