Executive Summary
Total Aspen Snowmass Market
Year over year, the 2011 total Aspen and Snowmass real estate market is up +15% in dollar sales and +25% in unit sales over 2010 due to the strength of the first half of the year.
Quarterly comparisons this year indicate a loss of momentum in the 2nd half of the year.
Q4 2011 $176.3M (+13% from Q3 2011) 50 unit sales (no change from Q3 2011)
Q3 2011 $156M dollar sales (-33% from Q2 2011) 50 unit sales (-9% from Q2 2011)
Q2 2011 $233M dollar sales (+11% from Q1 2011) 55 unit sales (-2% from Q1 2011)
Q1 2011 $209M dollar sales 56 unit sales
Whether this drop-off is temporary or longer lasting remains to be seen but positive macro economic news at the end of the 2011 bodes well for the beginning of the new year. However, the lack of snow in late December and early January is just one more element of uncertainty in the real estate mix to be considered.
