Snowmass Village properties rule in Aspen real estate market activity this past week …and the WSJ headlines two of them on Jan 15th & Jan 23rd.
Of the (10) eight properties over $250,000 that closed or went under contract last week (includes all types of properties including vacant lots but not fractionals), (7) seven were in Snowmass Village and three (3) were in Aspen. A remarkable change of events as Aspen has so completely dominated property sales over Snowmass in 2009. It also may be testament to just how much Snowmass really comes alive in the winter because of the absolute appeal of its ski in/out real estate character. True, it’s only one week so far but last week’s relatively significant Snowmass activity – including the sale of a Snowmass $18.5M ski in/out home with guest house on 3-acres – makes one wonder if buyers are finally picking up on the major opportunities that exist there after such an abysmal 2008 and 2009. One thing seems certain: as soon as the Snowmass Base Village, Related Westpac and the Aspen Ski Co. resolve the myriad of issues surrounding Base Village ownership, financing and development, and construction begins afresh, the bargains we are witnessing now throughout Snowmass Village – whether single family home, condo/townhome or vacant lot – one would think … should be history.
