Nov 2016 Market Snapshot excerpt:

“Nov ’16 has been less ‘bad’ than Oct or Sep. The uncertainty of the election has passed, the “Trump Trade” has pushed the stock market to record highs and the financial markets are bullish. Historically, these are good omens for Aspen real estate.

For the past two years, the Aspen residential market is being driven by speculative activity in the form of a small handful of REIT type investment groups. In particular, these groups dominated buyer activity in 2015 and new-built home listings in 2016. There are approximately 20-25 brand new spec homes in various stages of construction with some having sold or are under contract validating never-seen-before new pricing levels in specifically the Aspen Core, Historic West End and newer homes on Red Mountain..”
