Aspen Snowmass 🏔️ Real Estate News 📰

What the Latest Numbers Mean for Buyers and Sellers

Aspen real estate closed out December 2025 with a surprising headline: single-family home sales jumped 75% month over month. But while transaction volume increased, prices told a more nuanced story across Aspen and the greater Roaring Fork Valley.

In this market update, we break down the latest housing stats for Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Snowmass Village, Old Snowmass, Missouri Heights, and Woody Creek, highlighting where momentum is building and where pricing pressure remains.

Aspen: More Sales, Lower Median Prices

Aspen saw seven single-family home sales in December, up from four the year prior. That surge pushed sales volume up 75%. However, the median home price dropped 38.3%, falling from $15.4 million to $9.5 million.

The condo market told a different story. Aspen condo sales increased slightly from 12 to 13 transactions, while the median condo price jumped 56.3%, rising to $5.5 million. This points to continued strength in Aspen’s luxury condo segment, especially among high-end buyers seeking turnkey properties.

Basalt: Condo Activity Surges Despite Price Drops

Basalt experienced a slower month for single-family homes. Sales declined from five to three transactions, and the median home price fell 40% to $2.2 million.

Condos and townhomes, however, provided a bright spot. Sales jumped 166.7%, increasing from three to eight transactions. Even with that surge, the median condo price declined 34.8%, suggesting buyers are finding value opportunities in this segment.

Carbondale: Strong Sales, Softer Prices

Carbondale continued to attract buyers, with home sales rising 22.2%, from nine to eleven transactions. At the same time, the median home price dropped 33.7%, settling at $1.425 million. Condo sales remained flat year over year with four transactions, but pricing jumped dramatically. The median condo price rose 131.8%, reflecting a small data set influenced by higher-end sales.

Glenwood Springs: Prices Rise as Condo Demand Grows

Glenwood Springs saw a slight dip in single-family sales, down from seven to six transactions. Despite that, the median home price increased 33.5%, reaching $1 million.

Condo sales rose sharply, increasing 125% from four to nine transactions. The median condo price slipped modestly by 10.4%, landing at $495,000. Overall, demand remains strong across multiple price points.

Missouri Heights & Woody Creek: No December Activity

Both Missouri Heights and Woody Creek recorded zero transactions in December 2025. While these areas typically see lower sales volume, the lack of activity highlights how localized and uneven the market can be month to month.

Old Snowmass: Limited Sales, One Massive Outlier

Old Snowmass recorded just one (home) sale in December, down 50% from the previous year. The median sale price dropped 53.4%, falling to $3.1 million.

Notably, these figures do not include the $120 million monastery and ranch sale that closed during the month. Because of its unique acreage and classification, it was excluded from standard single-family reporting but still made headlines as one of the largest transactions in the region.

Snowmass Village: Fewer Sales, Lower Prices

Snowmass Village also saw limited activity. One single-family home sale closed in December, down 50% year over year, with the median price falling 54.1% to just under $4.83 million.

The condo market slowed as well, with sales declining from seven to three transactions. Median condo prices dropped to $1.05 million, reflecting softer demand in the short term.

What This Means Going Into 2026

December’s data shows a market driven by selective demand, pricing corrections, and strong interest in specific segments, particularly condos in Aspen, Basalt, and Glenwood Springs. While some areas experienced sharp price drops, others showed resilience or even price growth. For buyers, this environment creates opportunity. For sellers, pricing strategy and timing matter more than ever.

Aspen, Colorado is known for world-class skiing, luxury real estate, and breathtaking mountain views. People travel from all over the world to experience its charm, especially during peak winter season. But what many visitors don’t realize is that Aspen doesn’t have everything you might expect from a globally recognized resort town.

One surprising omission? There is no Apple Store in Aspen.

Aspen Isn’t Built on Convenience

Visiting Aspen just after New Year’s, surrounded by fresh snow and a packed ski season, it’s easy to assume that every major brand and service would be close at hand. That assumption quickly disappeared when it was time to replace an aging iPhone.

Coming from Hawaii, where there were once three Apple Stores within five to ten minutes of home, the contrast was stark. Even today, Oahu still offers multiple Apple and carrier locations, often within the same shopping center. Aspen, however, plays by different rules.

The iPhone Wild Goose Chase

Former AT&T Location in Aspen

With an older iPhone SE finally showing its age, the search for a replacement began in Aspen. The first stop was an old AT&T location near Clark’s Market, which is now permanently closed.

AT&T Store in Basalt at Willits

Next came Basalt, just down valley, where online listings suggested an AT&T store would be open. It wasn’t. A Sunday closure, despite online information saying otherwise, sent the search even farther.

AT&T Store in Glenwood Springs Shopping Mall

That led to Glenwood Springs, where several major carriers operate out of the shopping mall. There were options: T-Mobile, Verizon, Xfinity, and AT&T, but none delivered results. The only available iPhones were orange, which was a hard pass. Target was completely sold out after the holidays. Walmart technically had iPhones, but the AT&T specialist had left an hour earlier.

Target and Walmart in Glenwood Springs

Five stops. Zero phones.

A Lesson Bigger Than a Phone

What could have been a frustrating day turned into a valuable life lesson. While out on the hunt with a daughter, the situation mirrored something familiar from the world of real estate. In real estate, buyers often spend days touring homes without finding “the one.” Progress doesn’t always show up immediately, but persistence matters. Sometimes the search itself is part of the process.

Back to Hawaii — Instant Perspective

Kahala Mall in Honolulu

The journey eventually continued back to Honolulu for work. At Kahala Mall, there was an Apple Store, an AT&T store fully stocked with iPhones, and not one, but two Starbucks. A reminder of how easy it is to take access and convenience for granted.

Kahala Mall itself carries history, from longtime local landmarks to cultural icons like Jack Lord of Hawaii Five-O. Interestingly, there’s also a deep Aspen-Hawaii connection. Jack Lord’s co-star, James MacArthur, spent significant time in Aspen, reinforcing the long-standing bond between these two very different places.

Aspen Doesn’t Need Everything

Despite lacking an Apple Store or Starbucks, Aspen remains one of the most desirable destinations and real estate markets in the world. Between the lifestyle, the scenery, the X Games, and the sense of community, Aspen offers something far more valuable than convenience. And after a long, winding journey, the new iPhone finally made its way back to Aspen.

On today's Snowmass tour, I got to see a half a dozen condos ranging from $925,000 to $3,750,000. The first two were off Carriage Way and the remainder were off Wood Road. Several of these had views of the slopes and most were ski in, ski out.

Aspenwood

Aspenwood L-6 (MLS # 190870) in Snowmass

The first unit I saw was a a studio at Aspenwood which was priced under $1 million. This 550 square foot unit was remodeled in 2017. The owner did a nice job utilizing the space and built out a partition for privacy. Just steps from the pool and hot tubs, this unit is a nice option to have something turn key in Snowmass for ski in and ski out.

Top of the Village

Top of the Village #309 (MLS # 190986) in Snowmass

The second condo of Carriage Way was a Top of the Village 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit that has a balcony overlooking the ski slopes. This one didn't seem to last long as there's already an accepted offer after only 12 days on market. At $1.8 million, this is a deal compared to condos in Aspen. With that said, I remember looking at units in this complex prior to COVID and they were half the price. It just shows the demand for a nice 2 bedroom unit on the slopes of Snowmass.

Chamonix

Chamonix AA-50 (MLS # 191036) in Snowmass

I then headed over to Wood Road to see the last 4 condos on the tour. Chamonix was the first one I saw. There's some work going on at the moment in the common areas, however this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit felt very private (literally). The elevator opened up into directly into what's considered common areas (back to that in a minute).  From there, I walked into the main part of the unit that nice views from the living area and the private balcony of the mountain, overlooking Elk Camp Gondola. The high ceilings were also impressive after coming from the other units off Carriage Way with lower ceilings.

Now, back to the common area as you come out of the elevator. In MLS, the unit is listed at $2,180/square foot. However, that is not including the common area that is used exclusively for this unit. When you factor that in, it's actually closer to $1500/square foot. On top of that, the ski lockers and swimming pool are right off the side of the mountain, making skiing in and out almost as simple as possible. There's also a private garage that comes with this unit plus room to park another car in front tandem style.

Crestwood

View from Crestwood #1207 (MLS # 191000) in Snowmass

The next one at Crestwood was by far the largest unit I saw today, this 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom (including loft) unit spans 3 levels and has an incredible view over Wood Road towards Base Village. Although this unit was built in 1970 (I always like to say some of the best locations were taken first), there was an extensive remodel in 2012.  

This is a great option to live in our rent out short term. Pretty much all the utilities are covered in the maintenance fees, which include a lot of other perks on site such as a pool, fitness center and more. At $3,725,000, this was the highest priced home on the tour. However, once again, this was the largest unit and featured double the bedrooms and bathrooms of the others.

Electric Pass Lodge

I wrapped up the morning with the final 2 units at Electric Pass Lodge, one being a ground floor unit and the other on the 4th floor.

Electric Pass Lodge #108 (MLS # 191060) in Snowmass

The first unit I saw was on the ground floor and it right down the hall from the lounge area, which has glass doors out to the pool area and a short stroll to Base Village. Like the others seen on the tour, this has the ability to rent out short term. You can also live in this unit and it has a nice modern vibe, both on the interior and the common areas. This 2 bedroom unit just hit the market for $2.5 million, which isn't bad for a newer construction condo in Snowmass.

Electric Pass Lodge #404 (MLS # 190622) in Snowmass

The final unit today was a 4th floor unit that has a lot going for it. Similar units were last trading in the mid to high $3 million range. This owner is motivated and just reduced the price to $3,299,000. On top of that, this owner also went for every single upgrade offered by the developer. It's the only unit of all the 51 units in the complex that opted for this level of luxury. On top of that, the unit was finished by a high end designer and the furniture is being included. At roughly $2,665/square foot, this is a nice value for a relatively new condo (only 2 years old) at a great location in Snowmass.

Summary

If you're in the market for a Snowmass Condo between $1-4 million, this is a great start. There's also others that weren't open today and others outside of this price range. Feel free to reach out to me for additional information on the Snowmass condo market.

The Roaring Fork Valley real estate market delivered some surprising results in November 2025, led by a major surge in Aspen home sales. From Aspen to Glenwood Springs, market activity showed sharp contrasts between rising prices and slowing transaction volume.

Aspen: Strong Sales and Explosive Pricing

Aspen led the valley with an 80% increase in single-family home sales, rising from five sales last year to nine this November. Even more striking was pricing, as the median home price jumped 75.4%, climbing from $13.4 million to $23.5 million. Condo and townhome pricing told an even more dramatic story. While sales volume fell 30%, the median condo price soared 170.4%, rising from $3.16 million to $8.55 million year over year. This highlights continued demand for premium properties despite fewer transactions.

Basalt: Fewer Sales, Higher Prices

Basalt saw a slowdown in home sales, dropping from two transactions last year to one this November. However, the median home price increased 30.1%, reaching $1.7 million. On the condo side, Basalt posted five sales after having none during the same month last year, with a median price of $965,000 — a positive sign for entry-level and mid-market buyers.

Carbondale: Cooling Prices and Activity

Carbondale experienced a modest dip in home sales, falling from ten to nine transactions. Median home prices declined 24.7%, landing at $1.6 million. Condo activity dropped sharply, with just one sale compared to four last year. Median condo pricing also fell significantly, signaling a softer market segment in Carbondale.

Glenwood Springs: Mixed Signals

Glenwood Springs saw home sales decrease by 33.3%, though the median home price rose to $1,015,750. Condo sales also declined, along with a nearly 10% drop in median condo pricing, reflecting affordability pressures and buyer caution.

Missouri Heights and Old Snowmass: Low Volume, Big Numbers

Missouri Heights posted just one home sale in November, but it came at a remarkable $9.6 million, pushing the median price up more than 214% year over year.

Old Snowmass followed a similar pattern with one sale and a modest 6.6% increase in median price, reaching $6.7 million.

Snowmass Village: A Challenging Month

Snowmass Village experienced one of the toughest months in the valley. There were no single-family home sales, and condo transactions dropped more than 83%, from 36 sales last year to just six. Median condo pricing also fell by 56%, reflecting reduced demand in this segment.

Woody Creek: No Home Sales 

There were no home nor condo sales this past month in Woody Creek. Whereas last year saw one sale at $5.5 Million.

What This Means Heading Into Winter

November’s data shows a market defined by price resilience at the high end and lower overall transaction volume. As winter season begins and ski resorts open across the valley, buyer interest may pick up — but pricing remains highly localized and property-specific.

This morning's Aspen caravan featured a new construction home listing in Castle Creek and 2 Aspen condos at the Sagewood Townhomes and 450 Original. It was a sunny day as the skies have cleared after several days of snow this past week.

Castle Creek New Construction

724 N Hayden Road (MLS # 190997) in Castle Creek

This first one was definitely a show stopper! Built in 2024, this newer construction home featured over 6,000 square feet of living area plus another 4,000 square feet plus of unfinished living area on over 10 acres. This home has already been featured in several magazines for its architectural features. 

What I loved about the property was the use of hardwoods throughout. From the floors to the walls, to the ceilings.  Even the built in drawers had a similar vibe or feel to them. You can tell there were skilled craftsmen involved and not just your typical spec build. It reminds me of some of the mid century modern homes done by Vladimir Ossipoff and Alfred Preis in Hawaii I grew up with.

In most parts of the country, $44,500,000 would be eyeball popping, however here in Aspen, it falls in line with another trophy property for those willing and able to pull the trigger on something they love.

Sagewood Townhome

Sagewood Townhomes #11 (MLS #190776) in Aspen

This next one was a little more modest condo in the West End, right after you cross the bridge into town near 8th Street. This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit had a great use of space. There's a bonus loft for extra storage or in this case, for their young one to sleep. With nice balcony, ski storage and parking, this is a good value to get a true 2 bedroom in town for close to $2 million.  The asking price is $2,175,000 or $2,843/square foot.

450 Original

450 Original #8 (MLS # 190971) in Aspen

The 3rd property I saw today was located at 450 Original Street, right across from City Market in town. This unit went through an extensive remodel in 2022 and is a legal short term rental. It's been doing well with the bookings and I was fortunate to see it before the winter ski travelers arrive.

The remodel was well thought out, with a great use of space. It's got an oversized kitchen, separate laundry area, storage, 1 bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The 2nd bathroom is off the hallway and 2nd bedroom is a flex space for an office or sleeping with a murphy bed.

When I came home to share with my wife the cool properties I saw today, she reminded me that a friend of ours was the previous owner of the 450 Original condo.  They sold it in 2022 for $3,175,000. Today's price is $4,100,000 or $4,399/square foot. Not bad appreciation over 3 years if they get their price. Both home and condo prices in Aspen were up since last year. Stay tuned as I'll be blogging on last month's stats in my next article.

A Coffee Shop Rooted in Aspen’s History

Walking into The Felix is like stepping into a modern expression of Aspen’s rich heritage. The space blends the elegance of a world-class resort with the charm of a boutique café. Its warm, stylish design and curated menu instantly set the tone for a premium coffee experience.

Craft Coffee Done Right

One of the standout features of The Felix is its commitment to quality. They make their own house-crafted nut milk, offering richer flavor and better ingredients than many high-volume cafés. Their matcha is also a local favorite — smooth, vibrant, and perfectly balanced.

On this visit, the feature drink was a flat white, prepared with the attention to detail that regulars have come to expect. Alongside the coffee menu, you’ll find an array of pastries and fresh daily baked items, plus light savory options such as their popular avocado toast.

A Must-Visit in Aspen

Whether you're stopping by after a morning walk in the snow or seeking a cozy corner in a luxury setting, The Felix offers a blend of comfort, craft, and history that’s hard to find elsewhere. Its reopening is a welcome addition to Aspen’s evolving coffee scene, especially after the closing of beloved spots like Unraveled.

Old Snowmass is known for its breathtaking scenery and peaceful mountain lifestyle, but few properties capture its essence the way the St. Benedict Monastery does. Spanning an incredible 3,700 acres, this historic retreat has long been a quiet landmark tucked into one of Colorado’s most scenic pockets. Now, it’s officially on the market for an extraordinary $150 million.

Walking the monastery grounds feels like stepping into another world. Once home to a retreat center, a bookstore, and a thriving spiritual community, the property carries decades of history. As you look across the open fields toward the mountain range with Snowmass Mountain visible in the distance, it’s easy to understand why this setting has meant so much to so many.

But with the listing comes a bittersweet reality. While it presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for buyers seeking a private mountain retreat, it also marks the end of an era for a beloved institution in the valley.

Still, Old Snowmass offers a wide range of properties far beyond the multimillion-dollar headlines. For buyers exploring the area, there are options for every vision, from ranch acreage to luxury estates to mountain-view homes. Anyone seeking insight into the market can reach out directly at 808-371-3509 to learn more about available listings.

Roaring Fork Valley Housing Stats for October 2025

The October 2025 real estate numbers are in, and the Roaring Fork Valley delivered one of its most dynamic months of the year. Spanning Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Old Snowmass, Snowmass Village, Missouri Heights, and Woody Creek, the market showed a mix of stability, dramatic price swings, and shifting buyer behavior.

Aspen

Aspen’s home sales remained unchanged year-over-year with seven total transactions. However, the median home price fell 17.9%, dropping from $14 million to $11.5 million. Condo activity told a different story: sales were up 80%, yet median prices slid 45.3% to $3,175,000. The market continues to rebalance from last year’s elevated sales activity.

Basalt

Basalt held steady in single-family home sales with four deals closed. Median prices saw a small increase of just 0.2%. The condo market, however, surged with sales up 50% and prices jumping 65.7% to $2,150,000, signaling stronger demand for more attainable home options.

Carbondale

Carbondale mirrored this trend of stable home sales, posting 12 transactions both this year and last. Median home prices dipped 6.8% to $1,759,000. Condo sales climbed sharply—up 200% year-over-year—while prices dropped 28.6%, suggesting increased inventory and more diverse price ranges.

Glenwood Springs

Glenwood Springs recorded the first notable increase in home sales valley-wide, rising 62.5% compared to last year. Despite this demand, median home prices fell 23.2% to $920,000. Condo sales and values also declined, indicating a shift toward more single-family purchases.

Missouri Heights

With only three home sales, Missouri Heights saw a 200% increase in activity compared to last year’s single sale. Median prices rose modestly by 3.5%. No condo sales were recorded this month.

Old Snowmass

Old Snowmass delivered the month’s biggest shock: a median home price increase of 399.4%. Although sales dipped from three to two, the sale mix was clearly dominated by ultra-luxury properties this October.

Snowmass Village

Snowmass Village saw significant cooling, with home sales down 75% and condo sales down 88% year-over-year. Prices also declined across both categories, signaling a major reset from last year’s unusually high volume.

Woody Creek

Woody Creek posted identical home sale counts year-over-year, though the median price dropped 29% to $16,250,000. No condo or townhome activity was recorded.

Final Thoughts

The Roaring Fork Valley continues to show its diversity in price points, buyer behavior, and supply levels. Some neighborhoods are stabilizing, others are correcting, and a few saw major shifts driven by luxury sales. Whether you’re entering the market or evaluating your current property, understanding these trends helps you stay ahead.
