The Estin Report © – Aspen Real Estate: State of the Market and Trends, 3rd Quarter 2008
By Tim Estin mba, gri | Mason Morse Real Estate, Aspen | 970.920.7387 office Oct 28, 2008 (Updated from the original article, Mountain Business Journal, January 2nd, 2007) Immediate Market Highlights: Our market may have slowed but it has not stopped … we are not immune but we are insulated. Here’s what Aspen property is moving now. The overall theme is “ instant gratification” sells Superb, Aspen in-town locations and drop dead new remodels and new construction Trophy purchases, $$ seemingly no object. Realistic priced properties with motivated sellers who understand marketplace conditions and realities. Great perceived ‘value’ buys. Buyers are absolutely more discriminating than ever. West End single family homes: transactions are off -20% YTD, but off -50% from the peak YTD 2006. However, price/sq ft is higher; new product is selling; people want to be in-town, walk to everything. Aspen downtown core sales have plummeted, down 70% YTD, -76% 3Q08 and -61% below the lowest YTD 2004 Snowmass Village (SMV) single family home activity is on the uptick as sellers mark down prices and inventory begins to move. New Snowmass Base Village sales YTD have been off the chart upwards. Unknown: if developers and builders start to capitulate, how will it affect existing home prices and sales? Read More

Extreme property flip examples in an already flush Aspen real estate market, ADN
“In the upper end of our market — say above $20 million — that … is being driven by billionaires, their passions and impulses. We are into another realm of billionaires pumping up property values, where a common $5-15 million difference in price doesn’t seem to make any difference. Yesterday’s sale is the deal you missed and there are more and more examples of ‘off-market,’ unlisted properties trading at record prices.” said Tim Estin, Broker, Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty Read More

"There is a night and day difference between May 2017 and same time last year. The market appears to be firing on all cylinders heading into the summer selling season. A statistic that says it all: there were (15) Aspen single family home sales in May 2017 versus (2) in May 2016, +650% (Pg 6)...One very significant investor group that currently has about 15-18 projects under redevelopment and for sale has bumped up select property prices 5% in the past two weeks in anticipation of a formidable summer."
