As the Valley comes alive with summer activity, bikers, hikers, paddle boarders, golfers, fly fisherman and our local moose are descending upon our trails and rivers. The 41st annual Aspen Food & Wine Classic was just in town and our famous 4th of July parade is just around the corner. So much to do and experience before the days grow shorter!
What a spectacular fall! It’s been one of the longest and prettiest change of seasons I have seen in years. Stunning rides up to the Maroon Bells and Pinecreek Cookhouse with great friends are coming to an end. It’s time to hang up our bikes and dust off our ski equipment in anticipation of the upcoming El Nino winter and newly anticipated Hero's ski terrain (formerly Pandora's). However, I look forward to joining my friends once again on the slopes on opening day at Aspen Mountain on November 23rd, which is just around the corner!
Happy holidays! The snow has landed, the lifts are open and the mountains are calling. We have so much to celebrate as 2016 draws to a close.
Real estate activity in Aspen and Snowmass showed change across different sectors of the market this year. Overall volume was down but average sold price and price per sq. ft. remained strong. Last week, Aspen Skiing company officially closed on the Base Village acquisition with partners East West and KSL. Good things are yet to come for Snowmass Village and future real estate developments. In Aspen I have just listed a spectacular newly updated ski-in/ski-out townhome with a classic mountain feel and Ralph Lauren finishes located at the base of Aspen Highlands. 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 6,266 sq. ft. $5,500,000. See Featured Listing below for more information.
Finally, I want to thank each and everyone of you once again for your heartfelt referrals in 2016, allowing me to have another successful year as a Top 20 broker for Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International.
Wishing you good health, happiness and success in the New Year!
