Bottom Line: May 10, 2021:  Where is the market now? In the Estin Reports Charts Section, see the Q1 2021 Estin Report Quarterly Charts going back to 2010 by dollar, units sales and inventory for the Aspen and Snowmass markets by overall totals and by single family homes, condos and vacant land.

The April 2021 Aspen Snowmass real estate market report snapshot was posted May 10th in Current Reports – a 10-Pg  monthly and YTD report comparing Apr ’21 YOY stats and a separate report comparing Apr 2021 vs Apr 2019 as baseline activity was reduced to practically zero in Mar and Apr 2020 due to the Covid 19 lockdown.  The report(s) covers overall sales numbers and sales broken down by property type and neighborhood.  It is posted on or near the 1st Monday of the month. 

Bottom line Apr 2021: The Aspen Snowmass real estate market continues to show unprecedented strength in this slow re-opening period post Covid 19. For the past 10 months since July 2020, every month has registered record sales for its respective month (Pg5). Year over year (YOY) metrics are staggering because we are comparing current sales to a year ago when the Covid 19 shut down almost all activity. In the absence of meaningful YOY comparison and as Aspen Snowmass real estate activity is seasonal, I’ve included in this post an Apr 2021 vs Apr 2019 market report comparison for perhaps a clearer perspective. I was curious anyways. The number of Aspen properties that went under contract in Apr 21 (this metric is used as a future indicator as a number of these contracts will close in May) was up 750% to (30) from (4) last Apr when Aspen and Snowmass shut down due to Covid 19: in Snowmass Village, under contracts were up  500% to (33) from (6) last Apr same time last year. The rental market for the summer is on fire as more normalcy in this summer’s cultural events return and more people begin to travel in the “opening up” of a post Covid-19 US.
