Last Week's Market Highlights Aspen Snowmass real estate weekly sales statistics and under contract activity appears below for all Aspen, Snowmass Village, Woody Creek and Old Snowmass properties over $250,000 excluding fractionals in the upper Roaring Fork Valley.

In total sales above $7.5M, Aspen single family home sales are +100% over 2010, 32 this year versus 16 last year, and +129% above 2009 sales, 32 versus 14 solds.
