Real estate sales in November totaled 64 properties ($34.8M) in the Gunnison- Crested Butte area, a slight increase over last year’s 62 ($28.5M) and far more than each of the past 10 years. As is generally the case at this time of year, the market is currently slow, with only a small number of properties under contract. Inventory is also down, presumably with many buyers waiting for the New Year.
Two Mount Crested Butte properties of high interest are under contract that bear watching for their development value. One is located at the Snodgrass trailhead, and was known as the “North Village“. The other is located in the upper reaches of the Prospect neighborhood, near the top of the Prospect chairlift.

The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 11/30/2016 through 11/30/2017 versus the same period from 2017 to 2018). With such a small market (sample size) these numbers can jump around, so it’s worth comparing these graphs over a period of time.
