ROCKY MOUNTAIN RESORT ALLIANCE Part 3

Continued from Part 2.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN RESORT ALLIANCE Part 2

Continued from Part 1

Aspen, CO (Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk)
The Aspen Board of REALTORS® has lost about ten percent of their REALTORS® in the past year. Right now they have a three year supply of condos on the market, and their dollar volume was down about 40% in ’08 compared to ’07, while the number of transactions were down about 38% (thus average price is down slightly). However, prices are still very high compared to our market. For example, the Little Nell at the base of Aspen Mountain is under reconstruction turning it in to a condohotel. Most of the units were presold with prices up to $3.5 million - for a 1/8 share!
