This was a busy active week before the President’s Week Holiday begins. All hopes are that we are poised for an even bigger surge this vacation week – falling at the same time as Mardis Gras and Brazil’s Carnivale – and then, onward through the remainder of the ski season.
For my take on the market at present, please listen to my interview on CO Public Radio over Christmas 2009, see The Estin Report “White Paper” on Year End 2009 and go to my Feb 2010 Update, “Time to Buy?”. Lastly, click on this link for Aspen and Snowmass Village actual 2009 pricing data and 2004-2009 solds histories.
