Last Week’s Market Highlights – Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Sales and Under Contract Activity: It is typical this time of year, April and May, for a number of properties to be brought under contract and close. This reflects the fact that buyers have been shopping in the key winter ski months of Jan, Feb. and Mar., and making their moves in March and April. This spring spike in sales is quite common, and it is the period in which sales are completed and get recorded. Last week’s real estate sold and under contract activity appears below for the upper Roaring Fork Valley for all property types over $250,000 in Aspen, Snowmass Village, Woody Creek and Old Snowmass excluding fractionals. Because the MLS links below expire after 30 days, photos and written descriptions of the closed properties are posted here to preserve an archive of sold market activity. For past sales, scroll to page bottom and search by time period.
