Bottom Line

April 2018 unit sales in general are down over same time 2017, 16 vs 24, off 33%. Sales most closely resemble April 2016, an off period largely blamed on election year uncertainty. Also, Aspen under contracts in April – often used as indicator of future activity – are down 27%. Reason? Maybe this … In the past 4 years, inventory of Aspen properties for sale peaked at 460 units in Apr 2016 versus 312 in Apr 2018, -32%. Less offerings, higher prices may be slowing us down. Buyers get discouraged. Or maybe it’s the pause before it refreshes. Jan and Feb 2018 were very strong, Mar and Apr less so. Peak summer selling season is almost here. Sales of properties over $10M, representing 1/3 of total Aspen sales dollars for the year to date, have seen a significant rise: dollar volume is up 18% YTD and unit sales up 60% YTD. There are clear signs the market is finally expanding beyond Aspen…Old Snowmass home sales over $1.5M have taken off, (6) in past 3 months versus (0) same time last year.
