2017 is off to a great start in the Crested Butte and Gunnison real estate market. 43 properties changed hands in the area- a big jump from 29 last year and the most in at least 10 years. Limited inventory continues to be a struggle in certain price ranges, though sellers are of course enjoying the subsequent rise in prices. Heavy snowfall this season should be a boon for Crested Butte Mountain Resort, though the snow does present some challenges when showing property.

The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 1/31/2015 through 1/31/2016 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. My Gunnison and Crested Butte real estate market report archives can be found on this page.
