While many things are starting to feel “normal” in Crested Butte, with events like the 4th of July parade, Alpenglow concerts, and Cattleman’s Days in Gunnison returning, the real estate market continues to feel anything but normal. Limited inventory continues to be a challenge for buyers, though thankfully the silver lining is that interest rates remain quite low. Patience remains a virtue for buyers, while for sellers this is a great time to consider selling.

The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 6/30/2019 through 6/30/20 versus the same period from 2020 to 2021). 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.
