Bottom Line July 2022
Sales are slowing quite dramatically. Of the past four years, sales activity in July 2022 most resembles July 2019, pre-pandemic. (For a deeper dive into our real estate market activity, see my bi-annual 32 pg report.)
In July 2022, for Aspen, there were (13) sales vs (29) same time last year, down 55%; in Snowmass Village, there were (6) sales now vs (24) last year, down 75%.
For under contracts (UC), an indicator of future activity, in Aspen there were (16) in Jul ’22 versus (48) last year, -67%; in Snowmass Village, there were (14) vs (28) same time last year, -50% (See pg 2). However, if a property goes UC in July, it does not necessarily mean it will close in July or later. It may not close at all.
A falling number of sales, under contracts and low inventory means less activity overall. Pricing is the primary tool sellers use to position their property to the front of the pack in the hopes of motivating buyers. One would expect to see more and more price decreases as we get closer to summer’s end.
