The Estin Report: April 2016 Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market Snapshot was released May 6, 2016inCurrent Reports. The Monthly Snapshots are posted on or near the 1st Monday of the month.

Excerptfrom the Apr 16 Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market Snapshot:

“Bottom line:The Aspen Snowmass real estate market continued its significant retreat this year from a sizzling 2015. For the total combined marketplace. April 2016 had the poorest April sales activity in the past eight years since April 2009. The Aspen market alone is off 44%-61% year-to-date and in specific property categories and neighborhoods the decline is more. Historically, April is one of the highest performing months of the year as buyers close on property placed under contract during the ski season.”
