The Estin Report Aspen Snowmass Report market report posts a 10-page snapshot* on or near the 1st Mon. of each month.
Bottom Line Jan 2023 While inventory of properties for sale remain at record lows, in Jan we saw a 53% increase in Aspen inventory and in Snowmass Village a 179% increase. This is a positive sign that perhaps market dynamics are changing more slightly in the buyer’s favor. But it’s still a seller’s market with perhaps a bit more room for negotiation rather than a seller’s strong arm tactics. Where a seller’s mantra to buyers in 2020-2022 may have been something like “Beggars can’t be choosey”, now a buyer may feel more like responding politely, “Yes, you are right but I do remember from my days on the farm that pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.” I heard these expressions recently used in this context from long time noted Aspen attorney Tom Todd (Holland & Hart), loved them and thought very apt to use here.
In mid-Jan, East West Partners, the Snowmass Base Village owner developers, released a new slope-side condominium project called Cirque x Viceroy adjacent to the existing Viceroy Hotel Condos. By late Jan, the project had (41) of a total (46) two-four bedroom units under contract at list prices of $2.5 million to $11.75 underscoring buyer’s voracious appetite for new built slope side product. (See report pg 2 below for 225% surge year over year in Snowmass Village’s under contracts). Additionally, the developer’s single family slope side project, The Havens at Fanny Hill, closed on (7) of the (10) total new homes in late Jan 2023.
