Aspen Mountain Closing
Day Sunday April 20, 2025

Dear Friends,

As we transition from the excitement of ski season to the beauty of spring here in Aspen Snowmass, the real estate market remains just as dynamic. With inventory still at historic low levels, finding the perfect property can feel like a challenge. However, the best time to buy is when the property you’ve been searching for comes to market—it’s all about seizing the opportunity. Whether you’re envisioning a mountain retreat or a permanent home in this remarkable area, now is the moment to stay ready and act fast.

The current shortage of inventory in the Aspen real estate market can be attributed to several key factors. The incredible spike in demand and buying frenzy created by COVID and stricter building regulations now cap the size of new homes to 5,750 square feet, or 8,250 square feet with the purchase of a Transferable Development Right (TDR). Additionally, the City of Aspen issues a limited number of demolition permits—only six per year—further restricting redevelopment opportunities. Lengthier timelines for permitting and construction processes add to these challenges. Together, these factors create a unique environment and sought-after haven for individuals from across the globe, drawn by its unparalleled beauty, abundant outdoor recreation, vibrant cultural scene, and strong sense of community.

This unwavering appeal continues to drive demand in the luxury segment of the real estate market, further fortifying our region as a premier destination for those who value a truly exceptional lifestyle.

With summer on the horizon, for those who might be considering selling, 2024 was one of our strongest years for real estate in the Roaring Fork Valley and 2025 is following the same suit. Feel free to reach out if you’d like a detailed assessment of your home's current value. I'd love to share my tailored marketing strategy, refined over 25 years of experience, designed to help you achieve the best possible return in the shortest amount of time. As always, I’m here to guide you through every step of your real estate journey and ensure you make the most informed decisions with confidence---I’m just a call, text, or email away!

Best,
