February 2017 saw real estate sales in the Crested Butte area on par with the past several Februaries. That said, many properties price points have become quite competitive and are moving quickly. In particular, lower priced condos in Mount Crested Butte (under $350,000 or so) aren’t lasting long. Buyers in this price range should be ready to make an offer quickly if they like a property. Land sales are very slow right now thanks to the deep snowpack covering up vacant land in 6 feet or more of snow. But the ski area has been great!

The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 2/28/2015 through 2/28/2016 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.
