July 2026 Newsletter
 
 
What's New For July?
 
As July arrives, Aspen is in full summer stride. From sun-filled days on the trails to evenings spent at outdoor concerts, farmers markets, and signature cultural events, the Roaring Fork Valley offers an unmatched blend of natural beauty and vibrant community. It's a season that draws visitors from around the world—and continues to reinforce why so many choose to call this extraordinary place home.

 
As we reach the midpoint of the year, the Aspen real estate market is demonstrating a return to more balanced conditions. While overall transaction volume has slowed compared to last year's exceptional pace, pricing remains remarkably resilient. Sellers continue to achieve nearly 94% of their asking price on average. Although the average price per square foot has moderated from 2025 highs, Aspen's long-term fundamentals remain exceptionally strong, with approximately 10–11% average annual appreciation over the past decade and 13% compounded growth over the last five years.

 
The luxury market also continues to perform at the highest levels. Trophy properties are still changing hands, including multiple sales exceeding $30 million this year, reaffirming Aspen's position as one of the world's premier luxury real estate destinations. As inventory gradually increases through the summer, strategic pricing, exceptional presentation, and experienced representation will continue to distinguish the homes that sell from those that remain on the market.

 
In this month's newsletter, you'll find our 2026 Mid-Year Luxury Outlook Report, offering additional insights into market trends, inventory, and opportunities shaping the second half of the year. Whether you're considering a seasonal retreat, an investment property, or preparing to list your home, our team is here to provide thoughtful guidance every step of the way.

 
We hope you're enjoying everything summer in Aspen has to offer. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out or stop by our office—we'd be delighted to discuss the market, rental opportunities, or help you find your place in the valley.

 
Thank you for working with The Team
