Hello from Crested Butte,   The scarcity is real around these parts. If you are shopping our market currently you are aware of the limited inventory situation. There are only 27 homes listed for sale throughout the Upper Valley marketplace ranging from the low end for a 1971-built house in Mt. Crested Butte listed at $1.575 million to the top of our market for a 9,169 SF mansion listed for just under $10 million at Skyland.   Right now, only 17 condos and townhouses are listed for sale ranging from the low end for a $162 thousand Grand Lodge condo-tel unit at the ski resort to a brand new duplex unit located in the town of Crested Butte listed for sale at $2.685 million. I believe this is the first time in our history we have more homes than condos on the market.   Year-to-date we've w...

Unbelievable and something none of us expected, the 2020 real estate market in Crested Butte turned into our biggest year ever with total sales volume reaching $400 million. The last time the market behaved like this it was 2005. The ski resort sold the year prior and a new wave of people came to our valley and bet big on the future of Crested Butte. Then the financial meltdown in 2008 stopped everything. Fast forward to 2020. The year started flat. Q1 was fairly quiet with only $20 million in sales through March 1st. Folks were talking election year politics and the end of the bull market as reasons to hold off investing in Crested Butte real estate. Some people questioned the motives of Vail Resorts and if their presence as the new operator of the ski resort would cause our market and...

The funds were issued through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to keep airports poised for a return to normal activity by supplementing lost revenue, keeping staff employed and keeping airport improvement projects on track during the COVID-19 crisis. The large allocation means other entities in the county will save money previously committed to the airport’s renovation plans, as well.

Greetings from Crested Butte,It is no longer a secret that Upper East River Valley residential real estate prices are rising and it is getting expensive to buy a house or condo here. What many don't know about our local market is the opportunity to buy land including subdivision homesites, larger acreage and ranch land offerings. Today, our market's best value proposition is unimproved land. Obviously you'll need to build a house to complete the process but when you receive that certificate of occupancy you'll likely have an asset with solid equity built in.Why is purchasing land a great play in the Crested Butte area? Land values have not rebounded like home values. With the exception of the Town of Crested Butte where land values are the highest they've even been due to absolute scarc...

Happy New Year from Crested Butte,Where are all the new or updated homes and condos for sale? It is true our local real estate market continues to perform in an impressive manner but the storyline from 2019 is all about the rising yet unmet demand for "new" and "updated". Today's Crested Butte home buyers are shopping but not exactly finding what they are looking for. What is missing from our marketplace? Newly built or expertly remodeled homes and condos with fresh interior designs, modern materials and layouts. Yes, there is plenty of construction going on around the valley. But much of the build activity today involves custom homes for individuals. Demand for custom homes is so strong that local contractors are breaking ground during winter, pouring foundations and framing buildings ...

Greetings from Crested Butte,Thankfully, the snow has arrived in our valley and the ski resort is preparing for opening day on November 27th and the Thanksgiving Holiday. People that live in ski towns get emotional over things like the promise of another ski season, snow totals on the Pow Cam (6 inches this morning), and long lift lines. People also get emotional over things like jobs, wages and affordable housing. In Crested Butte, emotions are running high. Housing is getting expensive again and more people than ever want to make a life here.It was not that long ago the local housing market was digging out of that nasty multi-year recession. From  the crash in 2008 to 2012 we struggled to sell anything to anyone. Our sales volume was as low as investor confidence. In 2012 our total re...
