Aspen & Snowmass Real Estate Market Update: July 2026

This July:

The Market

I'm asked this question more than any other: how's the market? My usual answer is, "Which part would you like to hear about?" Because right now, the Aspen/Snowmass market is really telling two different stories.

We're in the midst of our slowest first half of the year since the onset of COVID. Year-to-date sales from January 1 through June 30 are down 51%, with transaction volume down 39% over the same period last year. Aspen itself saw the sharpest pullback, with volume down 56% and unit sales down 44%.

But the second half of the year tells a different story, and history is on our side. August, September, and October have historically been the busiest closing months, accounting for 54% of all annual closings. We're already seeing early signs of that shift — just last week, nearly $62M went under contract in a single 24-hour period, highlighted by two larger homes that were re-listed 20% below their original asking prices, and went pending in days. This is a sign that well-priced product is finding buyers.

Whether you're buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on the market, context matters. If you'd like to talk through how these trends apply to your specific property or search, give me a call or drop me a message — I'm always happy to dig into the details with you.
