Snowmass Village Condo Analysis February 4, 2016
I have been busy the past weeks with a lot of Snowmass Village condo activity. I think it’s such a great value today that I’m building a new single-family home there for my family. We’re so excited to be moving to Snowmass. Snowmass has never traded at a bigger discount to Aspen then today. It’s selling for about half the average sold price per sq. ft. of Aspen for all property types. On top of that there is such a strong seasonal and full-time rental demand in the upper Roaring Fork Valley with families looking to get into the Aspen School District with the number on school in the state and #24 in the country, and very little vacancy. Many Aspenites, myself included have been priced out of the Aspen single-family market, yet there are still some great opportunities in Snowmass Village. I know so many young families that have moved to Snowmass in the past year and more that are headed there this year. It’s the place to be!
I feel like everyone is holding their collective breath waiting for some clarity on base village. I believe once the future picture is clearer we will see increased activity and appreciation again. I think there are some incredible real estate opportunities at one of the best family ski/snowboard resorts in the world, not to mention one of the best single-track mountain biking destinations.
Below are some stats that I wanted to share with you from some research I’ve done on behalf of my clients the past week:
I hope this is helpful. Contact me if you'd like more information on Snowmass Village condo and single-family properties. Happy winter season!

This morning we had a great Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty Aspen office meeting where we discussed the differences between today versus a year ago. Part of our job as Realtors is to help manage downside risk for our clients, interpret market data, and recognize trends in the marketplace. Here are some of the major differences between December 2014 and December 2013:
What does this all mean? I think it spells a strong 2015 ahead. There's a premium being paid for new contemporary product such as OneAspen and Aspen Muse at $3,000 plus sold price per sq. ft. One way to meet demand with inventory declining is to remodel old inventory, upgrading and contemporizing, spending $10,000 to make $50,000. The value of West Aspen and McLain Flats versus the downtown core, Red Mtn., W. End, as well as Aspen versus Snowmass Village. These are where the values are today! They are going to be strong again soon. The pluses of location, more space, big views, and ski-in/ski-out access i.e. Highlands, Maroon Creek, Starwood, and W. Buttermilk. Inventory is underpriced in W. Aspen, Mclain Flats and Snowmass Village compared to W. End, Red Mtn., and the downtown core. I'm gearing up for a busy winter selling season ahead. I anticipate a great 2015 ahead. I study the market every day. Call me anytime to discuss the best values in our market today. Have a great week. Chris Klug
