The Team
#1 in Rental Volume 10 Years in a Row
Over $50 Million in Sales Year to Date

 
A series of November snow storms brought an early opening of Aspen and Snowmass mountains, with snowpack levels reaching their highest levels for this time of year in the past 10 years.
The November 2024 real estate statistics in Aspen, Snowmass Village, and Basalt have shown distinct trends individually. Aspen reveals strong growth, with a 45.7% rise in median sales price to $3,425,000, despite a 10.7% drop in inventory. Snowmass Village is thriving, with a 111.1% surge in median sales price to $3,800,000 and closed sales up 414.3%, though inventory fell 18.6%. Down valley, Basalt faces mixed results, with a 40.6% decline in median sales price to $1,337,500, higher inventory, and fewer closed sales, reflecting varied dynamics across the region.
As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, our clients, family, and friends, for making this year such a success. If you're planning a trip to Aspen Snowmass to hit the slopes, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’d love to help you find the perfect place to call home, whether for a visit or something more permanent.
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!
