Dear Friends,
Spring is in the air, snow conditions are fantastic and town is buzzing with Spring Break guests. Since turning back the Covid-19 dial to yellow, restaurants, shops and businesses are safely open again. Travel restrictions have been lifted and all local residents are currently scheduled to be vaccinated by end of May. With a dry start to the season, we certainly made up for it in February with over 6 feet of snow and many amazing powder days. Aspen Skiing Company’s recent announcements that the 2021 FIS Snowboard and Freeski World Championships will be returning to Aspen March 10-21st as well as the US Alpine Championships in April, this Spring is certain to be full of excitement. Inventory has hit historically low levels with Aspen down 32% and Snowmass Village down 64% year over year. With demand higher than ever as we head into our busy Spring and Summer selling seasons, if you are thinking of selling or listing now is the perfect opportunity as you can expect to receive top dollar for your property. For information on events and local real estate stats as well as our 2021 Resort Report, please see below.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for helping to make 2021 my most successful year yet! Your referrals and recommendations to others have been my greatest source of success. Thank you for your support and confidence in my ability to help your family and friends. Aspen is an incredible place to live. For me, real estate is about sharing my knowledge and expertise about the Aspen-Snowmass market with you, keeping you informed and making the deal happen.
See you on the slopes and around town,
Laurie
