Why Homeowners in Colorado Springs Choose EasyOffer
Colorado Springs's median home value is $441,854 (Zillow, 2026), down 2.4% year-over-year. With 456,568 residents growing 2.5% since 2020. Colorado Springs has unemployment at 5.6% (BLS), a poverty rate of 9.0%, median property taxes of $1,765/year (Census ACS). the median resident age is 35.7 years.
In Colorado Springs, unpaid property taxes accrue interest and penalties that compound every month. Eventually the county sells a tax lien certificate or auctions the property itself. Selling to EasyOffer before that happens lets you keep whatever equity remains above the tax debt rather than losing everything at auction.
Colorado Springs is entering a more buyer-friendly phase after years of rapid appreciation, with home prices dipping 2.5% and inventory rising 15%. The city's massive construction pipeline of $3.7 billion in 2025 activity is adding both residential and commercial capacity, while strong military and defense-tech employment provides a stable demand floor. Population growth of 69% since 1992 underlies the long-term bullish outlook.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my house with unpaid property taxes in CO?
Yes. The delinquent taxes are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company ensures the county is made whole and the lien is released.
How long before the county auctions my property for unpaid taxes?
In Colorado, the timeline from delinquency to tax sale varies by county. Some counties begin the process after one year of unpaid taxes, while others wait longer. Either way, acting sooner protects more of your equity.
What if the back taxes are more than my house is worth?
In rare cases where tax debt exceeds equity, we can still help. We evaluate the full picture and may be able to negotiate with the county on penalties and interest.
Will I owe capital gains tax if I sell with delinquent property taxes?
Capital gains tax is based on your sale price versus your cost basis, not on whether you had unpaid property taxes. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
What happens if a tax lien has already been sold on my property?
Even if a tax lien certificate has been sold to a third-party investor, you can still sell the property. The lien holder is paid off at closing, just like any other encumbrance.
Can I sell if I owe both property taxes and mortgage payments?
Yes. Both the mortgage balance and the delinquent taxes are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. We handle properties with multiple liens regularly.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
