For the second straight month, we saw more sales year over year on a monthly basis. August 2023 had 65 sales in the area, compared with 52 in 2022, which is also more than any year from 2008 through 2015. Buyers remain quite cautious and more patient than they were the past couple of years- but do make offers when everything lines up at a property they really like. Inventory remains very low, and more or less unchanged from a month ago. Last month also saw the most expensive residential sale that I’m aware of- $10M for a ski in ski out property in Prospect.

The following year over year graphs compare the previous 365 days with the same period one year ago (i.e. 8/31/2021 through 8/31/2022 versus the same period from 2022 to 2023). With such a small market (sample size) these numbers can jump around, so it’s worth comparing these graphs over a period of time.

- Mount Crested Butte (All Residential): 21 of the 90 listings in Mount Crested Butte are currently under contract. For condos only, see below:
- Mount Crested Butte (Condos/Townhomes): The number of condos under contract doubled compared to one month ago. I do feel like there is some great value to be had in this market.
- Crested Butte: 8 homes are under contract downtown, which is actually more than we’ve seen in a while.
- Crested Butte Area: This category includes neighborhoods such as Skyland, Larkspur, Riverbend, Meridian Lake and Trapper’s Crossing. Take a drive through Buckhorn Ranch- it’s amazing how much construction there is right now.
- Gunnison: There are only 29 current listings in Gunnison. The “Gunnison Rising” development seems to have hit a snag.
- Gunnison Area: This includes areas such as Dos Rios, Ohio Meadows, Cranor Hill, and Hartman Rocks. Inventory dropped slightly in the areas surrounding Gunnison compared to a month ago.
