The recovery in Crested Butte and Gunnison continues, with both prices and sales numbers up, while inventory levels continue to fall. The following graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 3/3/2013 through 3/3/2014 versus the same period from 2012 to 2013). With such a small sample size these numbers can really jump around, but generally speaking the local market is in better shape than it has been in quite some time.
