Aspen Snowmass Market Reports

First Quarter Market Report 2024

Aspen’s single-family housing market was relatively flat, while Aspen condo sales were hot in the First Quarter of 2024. Pricing continues to hold firm throughout the Upper Roaring Fork Valley Market. Sales in the ten to twenty million-plus range are on par with last year's figures, with promising high-value transactions on the horizon, signaling a robust Q2 ahead, especially in the luxury segment. Anticipation surrounds what could potentially be Aspen's first $100 million sale at 421 Willoughby Way this spring. Exceedingly limited inventory for single-family homes and robust condo sales are the storylines in Snowmass Village. Despite fewer pending sales, Snowmass Village anticipates a surge in market activity moving forward and represents a gr...

Greetings from the enchanting Aspen Snowmass, where the fall foliage has reached its peak, painting the town in vibrant hues. I trust you're relishing this beautiful season as much as I am! I am thrilled to present the Aspen Snowmass Q3 2023 Market Report.

A Thriving High-End Market
The high-end segment continues to be the driving force behind our market's resilience. Late summer witnessed astonishing sales, fueling the impressive third-quarter numbers. Notably, the historic sale of 1001 Ute Ave for $76 million on September 5 stands as Aspen's highest residential sale ever. In August, Aspen Park in East Aspen fetched $63.75 million. Remarkably, 2023 has witnessed three residential sales exceeding $60 million, and 57 properties sold for over $10 millio...

Happy Summertime from Aspen Snowmass!

I hope my Q2 Aspen Snowmass 2023 Market Report finds you well, and enjoying a delightful summer. After a cold and wet spring following a remarkable winter season, we have been blessed with spectacular summer days, consistently reaching temperatures above 70 degrees since Father's Day Weekend. As we enter July, I am hopeful that we will return to the July monsoon afternoon cycle, with a refreshing shower each day.

Following a slower June, July has witnessed a significant uptick in activity and interest. Last week and the current week have proven to be the busiest two weeks of the year in terms of showing activity and buyer engagement. It is not uncommon for Food & Wine Foodies to prioritize culinary event...

What a winter it was with non-stop snowfall and incredible skiing and snowboarding conditions starting in Oc- tober through April.

Happy fall season from Aspen Snowmass! The colors are at their peak in the high country and the trails are empty and covered in orange, red and yellow; it’s a magical time of the year. We’re loving the prolonged Indian Summer!

After two and a half years of unprecedented Covid fueled activity, our market seems to be somewhat normalizing. Inventory of all whole ownership, free market property types in the upper Roaring Fork Valley from Aspen to Old Snowmass has almost doubled from 188 properties last year to 303 today. However, this still represents a very low supply compared to 472 properties in September of ’20 and 681 properties in Sept. ’19.

There is no better place to spend summer than in the Roaring Fork Valley! Fourth of July felt a little mellower this year with international travel open again, and the challenges associated with commercial travel today and higher costs. While macroeconomic headwinds along with the unsustainable velocity of our market the past two years are resulting in some price reductions locally.

in 2022, Aspen and Snowmass single-family volume looks very similar to last year down 2% YTD in Aspen and up 3% in Snowmass Village. Condo sold volume is up 20% in Aspen and down 25% in Snowmass Village. With 37 $10 million + sales in Aspen through Q2’22 versus 32 in 2021, 14 $20 million + sales through Q2’22 versus 9 last year, and 9 $30 million + sales in th...

An historic late December nine-day storm cycle dumped six feet of snow at Aspen Snowmass making for epic holiday pow skiing and boarding. Every turn in Highlands Bowl was a face shot for a week! Aspen Snowmass had another record-breaking year for real estate sales! Bottomless pow coupled with record real estate activity! Pitkin County saw almost $4 billion of residential, whole ownership, non-deed restricted sales recorded in MLS in 2021 compared to just under $3.5 billion in 2020.

What a year it has been!  Who would have imagined where the Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market stands today looking back to mid-March when the lifts stopped spinning at Aspen Snowmass and across the State of Colorado for the season, an exodus from the upper valley ensued, and most pending sales imploded?

The autumn colors have been magical the past weeks on the Western Slope of Colorado; I hope you’ve been getting out and enjoying this special time of the year. It has been an historic summer selling season in the Upper Roaring Fork Valley with record-breaking numbers. We’ve been in all-hands-on-deck mode since the end of June when a switch got flipped and our market went from zero to over one billion miles an hour. September felt like July! Aspen single-family sold volume is more than twice what it was in 2019 through September, and by far the highest we’ve ever seen through September.

I’ve never seen our local real estate market more active than in the past few weeks. A flip got switched a few weeks ago and it has been all hands-on-deck ever since. It seems everyone from our traditional metro feeder markets are here and planning to stay. While there are no events larger than 50 permitted in Pitkin County, the beauty of the mountains and the Aspen Idea of rejuvenating mind, body and spirit is more alive than ever in light of what’s happening in the world.

Happy springtime from Aspen! I hope you’re doing well and staying safe during these strange and uncertain times. The upper Roaring Fork Valley is very quiet now after the lifts shut down for the season in early March, just before what is typically the busy spring break season. The two or three weeks of spring break are the second busiest time of the winter season in Aspen and Snowmass and the culmination of the winter selling season. Often buyers will look over the holidays and early into the new year before returning over spring break to make a decision. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen this year. Normally we have a very pronounced off-season in April and May in Aspen and Snowmass - once the lifts stop running and before the trails dry ...

Hi from Aspen! I hope you are enjoying a great start to 2019! It has been a fun winter season so far in Aspen Snowmass.

I am excited to share my Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market Report for the First Quarter 2016. It has been a slow start to 2016. There are a few macroeconomic factors that are affecting our market negatively in the first quarter including the strength of the US Dollar, and the impact that is having on our international guests, particularly for Australian and Brazilian buyers. Australian visitors were down about 25% this winter in January and February. The unease of the stock market in 2016, even though it has bounced back strong the last month and seems to be stabilizing, has given buyers pause, not to mention the softening of the high-end New York City real estate market. The Presidential election is not helping things either. Lastly, the price of oi...
