Closed (11) + Under Contract / Pending (27).  [To view the new blog post, you may have to “Clear your Browser Settings”. Go to: Chrome browser/more tools/clear browsing data.]  

07/13/20 Bottom Line: In the Aspen Glenwood MLS for the Roaring Fork Valley, 2020 YTD dollar sales volume of $1.971MM has exceeded 2019 at $1.929MM. (Monthly figures below are for the upper RF Valley.) There is a high level of activity throughout the valley and into the I-70 corridor and strong sales activity continues across all price points and areas. In Aspen and Snowmass, we are seeing more multiple and back-up offers. Seismic rental demand continues with people wanting to stay here longer. People want to move out here full-time from the cities – as always, the quality of life here is the magnet but low interest rates, Covid 19 and civil unrest have created greater urgency than ever. We are seen as a financial haven, a 2nd home safe haven and a place to move permanently where people may not have been considering this as urgently as before the past 6 months of world-wide disruptions. See links below to view sold and under contract properties last week. A spreadsheet of under contracts for the week is attached.

07/06/20 Bottom Line: Another another huge week of sales activity. The energy in the marketplace is palpable and moving quickly. (25) more properties went under contract last week:  (9) of these are over $10M ask price and  (5) of these are over $20M ! Buyers seem to be resolute in an Aspen area purchase, unwilling to procrastinate or postpone a life-long desire to buy here amidst a Covid 19 and urban violence backdrop. If you are considering a property, act promptly as multiple offers are becoming more frequent and inventory of quality properties fast diminishing.

06/29/20 Bottom Line: Sales continue to erupt…See bottom line and post.

06/22/20 Bottom Line:  Sales are surging across the board in all categories. The opening of Covid-19 restrictions has unleashed a wave of pent-up demand…See bottom line and post.
