- Crested Butte South: Total sales in Crested Butte South are up 26% compared to last year. The average sales price is actually down 1%, but a closer look at the sales reveals a rosier picture. 2013 included 5 very low priced properties, meaning that the low end of the market is moving again. Without those properties, the sales price is actually up 8.6%
- Mount Crested Butte (All Residential): Total sales in this category is up a whopping 32%, with the average sales price at $429,000, an increase of 14% over 2012
- Mount Crested Butte (Condos/Townhomes): Sales of Condos near the ski area had been a weak point in our market, but sales in this area are up as well. 63 units have sold thus far in 2013, up 37%, while the average price is up 17%
- Crested Butte: Sales within the town limits actually slowed down slightly, down 15% in the number of units sold. Much of that can be contributed to distressed properties leaving the market, however, and prices have increased nicely, up 16.2%
- Gunnison: Gunnison is recovering nicely, with the number of units sold up 41%, and the average price up a healthy 45%
- Total Residential Sales: This category covers our entire MLS area, including Lake City, Pitkin, Crested Butte, Gunnison, and points between. 279 units sold so far in 2013, up 23%, while the average sales price is up 17.6%
- Land Sales (North end of the valley): With many properties selling below replacement cost, land sales have been lagging the strong residential recovery, with prices from Crested Butte South through Mount Crested Butte only up 2.6%. 45 parcels have been sold thus far, up 22%. If you are planning for the future, now is a great time to buy land.
- Land Sales (Total): 85 properties (up 12%) have sold, with prices up 11% for the year.
