Greetings!
Thanksgiving is the opening for the ski mountains and for the holiday season. Or so it feels to me! The fun of Thanksiving soon blends in to the excitement of “getting ready” for the upcoming holidays. Then BOOM! The holidays are here.
I have done a quick greeting video - please see the link below to watch!
I want to introduce my new listing at Park Modern in Willits! It’s a fabulous three-bedroom, three-bath with many upgrades. Lots of windows offering great light and views. Available for immediate occupancy as sellers have found replacement property. Please see listing info below.
Below, I also share the latest local market report from Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty, as well as my outlook on post-election real estate values.
The snow is amazing with about 8-9 inches outside my window. Powder skiing for those who dare the early opening. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving and a grateful heart!
Post-Election Real Estate Outlook
Real estate conversations of the last few months have been about the how the election is affecting the current market. For my buyers and sellers, everything seemed to be “on hold”! This chart brings good news, however! The pre-election uncertainty leads to real estate confidence post election. Yes, there is such a thing as election jitters. Post-election, regardless of who wins, reduces, if not eliminates those feelings.
Basically, it’s too early to tell if our market will experience that increase. My bet is that it will!
Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023 Market Report
By Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty
Here is the Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s market report for the first nine months of 2024. It shows the market has been steady in terms of pricing throughout the valley, while activity and number of sales are down slightly. As I say, I am curious about what the year-end will show along with the first few months of 2025. Admittedly, the post-election stress is of concern.
This quarterly report compares Q3 2024 to Q3 2023, examining the markets in Aspen, Snowmass Village, Woody Creek, Old Snowmass, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, New Castle, Silt and Rifle. The report separates single family homes from condos, townhomes and duplexes, and also provides a comprehensive vacant land update. Click the link below to dive in!
