Aspen Real Estate Report: Improvements but with Caveats in 2011, ABJ
Coldwell Banker Mason Morse Aspen real estate broker Tim Estin, who publishes a quarterly analysis of upper valley real estate sales, reported in his 2011 year-end Estin Report that the Aspen and Snowmass real estate market was up 15 percent in dollars and 25 percent in unit sales over 2010. (Estin’s analyses also include Woody Creek and Old Snowmass, but exclude fractional sales and all transactions under $250,000.)"..."The prevailing attitude is that 2012 is a significant turnaround year and if you don’t get in now you have missed out on some sort of bottom,” he added. “Even with continued price pressure buyers will have missed out on some really quality properties."
