Bottom Line Sep 2020: Until you actually see the numbers, all the talk about Aspen experiencing a pandemic real estate ‘gold rush’ in July, August & September 2020 seems wildly exaggerated and hyperbolic. Until it isn’t. The metrics are dizzying....Read more.
Key Takeaways:
High end purchases:
In the 3rd quarter 2020. (Jul 1,20 -Sep 30,20) There were $629M in sales of properties priced over $10M each in Q3 2020, or 71% out of a total dollar sales of $885M for Q3 2020. …This compares to same time last year, when there were $67M in sales of properties priced over $10M each in Q3 2019, or 29% of the total $235M total Q3 2019 Aspen dollar sales.
Dollar sales in Q3 2020 were almost 10x more than same period last year.
Reasons for spike in sales:
Covid 19 related, people exiting big cities – LA, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Dallas – pandemic, fires, urban unrest, health concerns, desire for better quality of life, global warming and search for cooler climate, historic low mortgage interest rates, mountain living at its best… The pandemic sales surge is the result of buyers looking for more full-time living vs vacation home properties, more space and open air. Anything new or like-new remodeled is flying off the shelf. If it is not, something’s wrong with the property.
Other less immediate reasons: Aspen offers a world class nexus of sports, arts, and culture unmatched in any other mountain community. We have amongst the strictest zoning rules in the country, super low property taxes, a sophisticated and technologically efficient valley wide public transportation system and an advanced, 40 yr old affordable housing program for locals without peer from the rest of the country.
