After everything came to a screeching halt mid-March, none of us knew what to expect this summer. While some thought the real estate market would be good, many of us are surprised to see all the activity from new listings to pending to closed!

As of today, in Aspen only, 28 closings have occurred since May 1st. Currently, 72 properties are under contract/pending. As I like to say, we went from zero to 100 mph, starting in May.

Part of the real estate fun are new listings. Here are three that may surprise you:
