It was another spectacular spring-like day today. I was on Aspen Mountain this morning filming with The Travel Channel's "Wild Side" show with Kinga Philipps - showing her how to snowboard and sharing my passion for living in Aspen, Colorado, and what it means to be a local Aspenite. We couldn't have asked for a nicer bluebird day, and hero groomer conditions. Winter is returning to Aspen this weekend, get ready for snow! Our town is busy this week. Showing activity has been non-stop.
Sales Activity
Here is a brief recap of last week’s real estate sales activity. There were five total sales in Aspen/Snowmass. Four out of the five were in Aspen’s Core. The highest sale, listed by Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty, was 620 E Hyman Ave., L’Hostaria Penthouse, which sold for $9,047,000, $2,541 sold price per sq. ft. Another notable sale was 708 E Cooper Avenue Unit #5, which sold for $7,700,000, $1,777 sold price per sq. ft. Snowmass had one sale, 52 Harleston Drive Unit #38, which sold for $1,625,000, $660 sold price per sq. ft. Snowmass is still a buyer’s market now; that's where the values are today. Snowmass was the place to be for the Mardi Gras celebration with bead tossing, a parade, street performers, and fireworks. The Mother of All Ascensions is another great Mardi Gras tradition.
Notable New Listing
950 Cemetery Lane is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom duplex located a short distance to downtown Aspen. An over-sized deck with views of Aspen, Highlands, Buttermilk and Red Mountain, and a private yard highlight this West Aspen property in one of Aspen's best family neighborhoods, and walking distance or a short bike ride or free bus to town.
