Check out the SearchEstinAspen Section to find all kinds of accumulated information on Aspen homes, condos and properties - ten years have gone into building this searchable database and archive that becomes a more useful as a resource over time.
The April 2017 Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Monthly Market Snapshot was posted in Current Reports on Wed. May 3rd. The Monthly Snapshots are usually posted on or near the 1st Monday of the month. The Q1 2017 & 2016 Year End report will be released this week, I hope, as will Q4 2016 stats.
An article appeared in the Denver Post Sunday Feb 26th on Colorado Mountain resort real estate including Aspen and Pitkin County.
Bottom Line: Estin Report: Apr 2017 Aspen Real Estate Market Snapshot Excerpt:
"Aspen real estate is in turn-a-round mode from a dismal 2016 when global uncertainty curtailed buyers' appetite for luxury high end 2nd home purchases. Post-election 2016, an upper-end Aspen real estate recovery is in full bloom.
In April 2017, for the combined Aspen/Snowmass Village market, the number of units sold is up +25%, from 28 last year to 35 this year. The number of properties that went under contract in April 2017 was 30 versus 25 last year. Under contracts are viewed as an indicator of future activity.
But the surging market activity grabbing local headlines is very specific: location specific, property specific, style/design specific, property age specific..
. There’s inside the roundabout and there’s outside. Not everyone’s partying at present.
If you want to pay through your teeth, pour money into developer’s pockets who saw these things coming 2-4 years ago, be a part of the great migration closer into town... If you want to find good-to-great values and motivated sellers in to-die-for stunningly beautiful settings 5-15 minutes beyond downtown Aspen, play the contrarian hand and rediscover and embrace the areas and neighborhoods the Aspen settler generation of the 1960's through the 1980’s came to Aspen for...""

New Charts Below: Historic Pace of Aspen and Snowmass Village Homes, Condos and Vacant Land / Lots by Dollar Sales and Unit Sales Updated with Q1 2017. (These charts are very popular and will be updated every quarter):
These new charts were originally posted in Current Reports on 02/15/17 through Q4 2016. They have been updated with Q1 2017 stats. The charts are: the historic pace of dollar and unit sales since 2006 separately for Aspen and Snowmass Village (SMV) by property types: 1) all properties combined; 2) single family homes; 3) condos; 4) vacant land / lots. (Fractionals, with the exception of extreme sales, are not included.)
Sales velocity, or pace, whether by dollar volume or unit sales is extremely useful to consider ss the unit sales drop-off in the 2nd Half 2007 so foreshadowed the Great Recession.
While many real estate professionals use dollar volume sales as the single metric for sales performance (it often looks 'better'), unit sales are a more reliable measure of market activity. Dollar sales can be skewed disproportionately by extreme high or low end priced sales.
Clients often ask, "Where are we now compared to the Great Recession...?". These charts offer a solid reference for that conversation. In this instance, the starting point for the trend line is 2006, but, of course, where the trend line commences will affect its outcome...If the charts had started at 2009, the trend would be more upwards at present than is shown here.
As this is written, post-election Nov 2016 through Mar 31, 2017(see charts through Q1 2017), sales have picked up considerably and are decidedly on an upward trajectory.
