Aspen and Snowmass real estate, quarter by quarter. Newest report first.
Third Quarter 2026
Closed sales, July through September 2026, plus January–September 2026 compared with January–September 2025. Source: MLS closed sales (entire MLS), compiled October 2026.
Dollar Volume, January–September
$1.52B combined, down 22% from $1.95B a year earlier
Fewer sales, longer waits, steady prices. Through September, sales are down 22% and homes take longer to sell, yet most prices held. Aspen condos rose 17%; Aspen single-family homes fell 24% on a lower-priced mix.
For buyers: room to negotiate, typically 4% to 8% off the original asking price.
For sellers: price it right on day one. Listings that start high are the ones collecting price cuts.
