77 properties changed hands in Gunnison and Crested Butte last month. That equals 2015’s level and is more than 2009 and 2010 combined. Median sales prices are up in most locations throughout the Gunnison valley. The lower price ranges continue to suffer from a lack of inventory. In Crested Butte South, for instance, sales are down year over year by 62%, while the median sales price is up 52%. Some buyers are starting to get pushed out of the market.

The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 9/30/2014 through 8/30/2015 versus the same period from 2015 to 2016). With such a small market (sample size) these numbers can jump around, so it’s worth comparing these graphs over a period of time.
