Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Colorado Springs

“Colorado Springs mixes summer family tourism with steady military and government travel. Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods fill summer, while the Air Force Academy, Fort Carson and other installations support weekday and monthly demand. Air Force Academy graduation week is the one date I never let owners underprice.”

Alaa's pricing calendar

How I price Colorado Springs through the year

Revenue management consultant in Colorado Springs, United States
  1. January to MarchLow

    I lean on military moves, contractors and athletes visiting the Olympic Training Center, and keep weekend leisure rates realistic until spring break families start arriving from Texas and the Midwest.

  2. April to MayShoulder

    I build up to Academy graduation slowly, holding the surrounding weeks at normal spring rates so graduation week stands clearly above them instead of the whole month creeping up.

  3. June to AugustPeak

    Families drive in for Pikes Peak, Manitou and Garden of the Gods, so I sell three to five night stays and price the Pikes Peak Hill Climb week in late June separately.

  4. September to NovemberHigh

    Air Force football Saturdays and Parents' Weekend at the Academy carry autumn, while aspen colour brings drive-in weekends; I price each home game date on its own.

  5. DecemberHigh

    Christmas visitors and families seeing cadets keep the holidays strong, so I set a holiday band with three-night minimums and leave early December at moderate rates.

Where I price Colorado Springs differently

Manitou Springs
The Incline, Cog Railway and quirky main street make this the leisure heart; I price summer weekends highest here and keep winter minimums short for day-trip couples.
Old Colorado City and the Westside
Close to Garden of the Gods with a historic feel; I price these homes between Manitou and downtown and court longer summer family stays.
Briargate and the north side
Near the Academy and quieter suburbs, these homes earn from graduation, cadet visits and military moves, so I weight weekday and monthly rates more than tourist weekends.

What I check first in a Colorado Springs audit

  1. 1Whether the property has the city's short-term rental permit and fits the zoning rules for its type, since owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied homes are treated differently in Colorado Springs.
  2. 2How far the home really is from the Academy's north gate, Fort Carson or Manitou, because guests here choose by the base or trailhead they need, not by the city centre.
  3. 3Whether the listing is set up for military guests, with monthly pricing, clear pet rules and flexible dates, since orders often change and rigid policies push them to other rentals.

FAQ

Questions Colorado Springs owners ask Alaa

How should I price Air Force Academy graduation week?

As one of the top weeks of the year, opened early, with longer stays. Alaa prices it from comparable homes for those exact dates.

Can military travellers fill my Colorado Springs rental?

Yes, especially weekdays and monthly stays. Alaa builds weekday and monthly pricing aimed at them.

Do I need a permit to run a short-term rental in Colorado Springs?

Yes, the city requires a short-term rental permit, and the rules differ for owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied homes and by zone. I always confirm the permit status and the applicable limits first, because a pricing plan built on a home that cannot legally operate is wasted work.

Is Manitou Springs priced differently from Colorado Springs?

It often is. Manitou is a separate town with its own rules and a stronger leisure pull in summer, so its weekend rates usually sit above similar homes in the city. I compare Manitou listings against each other first, then check how they sit against Old Colorado City.

Has Alaa Elhadi worked with properties in and around Colorado Springs?

Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Colorado Springs, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Mountain Time (UTC-7).
