Bottom Line

The market uncertainty that prevailed in Dec – Jan 2019 has eased, and the financial markets and confidence has returned. Aspen sales in March have been very active and news is positive. There are terrific opportunities outside of the downtown Core, but the Core is premium priced and appreciating faster and better than anywhere else – the recession downturn proved the Core’s liquidity, $$ appreciation proclivity and desirability over all other area in Aspen, with the West End and Red Mountain coming in 2nd place.

Rev 04/15/19: For Q1 2019, Aspen and separately Snowmass overall units sales are  -4% and -33% respectively from Q1 2018; overall dollar sales are -7% and +50% respectively. (Snowmass had two single family home sales at $14.3M and $8.6M which spiked their dollar sales for the quarter.)

March unit sales for Aspen are up +68%, (18) vs (11), and under contracts are up +158%, (31) vs (12) compared to the same time last year. (Under contracts are used as an indicator of future activity.)

More specifically, in March, Aspen condo sales were up 140% year over year, (12) in Mar 19 vs (5) in Mar 2018 and Aspen condo inventory is super low, down 28% from peak year Mar 2017, pressuring prices upwards.

In the past 6 mos., the average 2 Bdrm Aspen condo price was $1.64M/$1,710 sf vs $1.24M/$1,260 sf a year ago (See Pg 7).

And Aspen inventory in general is down almost 25% from record year March 2017.

Snowmass Village performance (See Pgs 8 +9), in general – accounting for approximately 25% of the total Aspen Snowmass market – is about even with last year.
