Bottom Line May 2023
Inventory continues to climb with a surge of new listings in early June for the summer selling season yet it remains at historic lows; There’s little relief in prices but perhaps slightly more negotiating room. This has been the theme all year. It’s a seller’s market but with greater realism – the pandemic sales craziness is over and some degree of normalcy has returned. But what’s not ‘normal’ is that more people than ever want to experience and live the Aspen lifestyle, remote work/play has made this possible and demand exceeds supply in a way we’ve never experienced before.
