The Estin Report: July 2017 Aspen Real Estate Monthly Snapshot was posted in Current Reports. The Snapshots are usually posted on or near the 1st Monday of the month.

Aspen’s most coveted neighborhoods..." 
Estin Report: Mid-Year 2017 State of Aspen Real Estate was released in June 2017 in Current Reports. The 32-Page report is available on-line as PDF and is available in  print in kiosks at the airport, the info booth across from Paradise Bakery town and at Sothebys offices at 415 E Hyman in the Mall and 300 S Spring opposite the Art Museum.
