The Estin Report: March 2016 Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market Snapshot was released April 10, 2016inCurrent Reports. The Monthly Snapshots are posted on or near the 1st Monday of the month.
Excerptfrom the Mar 16 Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market Snapshot:
“Bottom line: The market continued to tank in March. Aspen, which accounts for approximately 70% of total Aspen Snowmass combined sales, was down particularly hard… Buyer demand is off sharply contrasting with a rising inventory of properties for sale at ever-higher ask prices. A disconnect to be sure. Luxury sales of properties over $10M (approx. 30% of all sales dollars in 2015) plummeted -86% from (7) in Q1 2015 to (1) in Q1 2016. The single over $10M sale in the quarter was for a 4 bdrm penthouse condo at Monarch on the Park in downtown Aspen selling for $15M at an all-time record setting $4,275 sq ft. Buyers are seeing greater negotiating spread, and, for those sitting on the sidelines, this may be an opportune entry period. In Q1 2016, the total market is off just –3% from same time in 2014 which turned out to be the best in the 5 preceding years as well as the conclusive recession turnaround year.”
