82 real estate transactions took place in the Crested Butte/ Gunnison area in August of 2020, compared to 59 the previous year. Year to date, 2020 dollar volume is nearly equal to that of 2019, despite the near-complete shutdown during the Covid stay-at-home orders this past spring. On top of all the recent sales, we are seeing a lack of inventory and a high number of properties under contract, so expect September sales to be on the high side as well. We are also starting to see some property types that have had slow sales (for instance vacant land and the Grand Lodge) start to pick up again.

The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 8/31/2018 through 8/31/2019 versus the same period from 2019 to 2020). With such a small market (sample size) these numbers can jump around, so it’s worth comparing these graphs over a period of time.
