Like most of the country, real estate in Crested Butte continues to move at a rapid pace. 84 closings took place with a total of $58.8M, compared to 26 last year and 32 in 2019. It remains a great time to sell, while for buyers, patience is important, along with the ability to act quickly. Typically, May is a fairly slow month locally, while the busy summer season begins to ramp up quickly in early June.

The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 4/30/2019 through 4/30/20 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.
