Crested Butte Real Estate 2019 Review Market Report
Crested Butte Real Estate 2019 Review and Outlook
Crested Butte Real Estate 2019 Review – Crested Butte Real Estate Market Home Prices Continue Up, Transactions Down – 2019 is in the books and we saw Transaction were down 29.5% and volume down 5% from 2018 (transaction count lowest in 5 years). In nearly all geographic areas and property types (Single Family Homes, Condos, Townhomes, and Land) we are seeing sold prices continue to rise as compared with 2018 and prior years.
So what is happening in the Crested Butte real estate market? Many Buyers are sitting on the sidelines right now waiting for the perfect property or price adjustment. In general quality homes priced at market prices or slightly above are getting the attention from Buyers. Also quality single family homes, condos and townhomes prices well that are in the lower segment of the market are selling quickly (Single Family Homes below $1M, Condos & Townhomes below $600,000). We see most properties asking prices are above sold prices – this is not unusual in a rising market. We are seeing some homes that are priced significantly higher (or require quite a bit of updating) are experiencing longer days on market. As I have previously stated – there is a bit of a waiting game going on – as most second-homeowner sellers are patient, and most second homeowner buyers are wondering if this is “the new normal” in the Crested Butte Market. We are in year two of the Vail acquisition of the Crested Butte ski resort. I predict we will see a “normalization” of the market by the end of this Winter Ski Season.
2019 Price Increases – After the announcement that Vail had purchased the ski area in 2018 – there were some immediate price hikes. The majority of the market followed suit in 2019 and buyers who came back to CB were scratching their heads… Sellers are patient – but with days on market climbing many are calculating their holding costs on the home that they are not using as much as in the past, and getting anxious to use the dollars in their CB homes to move on to the next chapter of their life. We have seen many Asking Price corrections prior to the Winter selling season – and those homes that are priced to the market, will get showing activity over the winter from the affluent skier visitor demographic who want to start creating their lifetime of memories with family, friends and clients.
Crested Butte new home construction is up, and contractors are busy. Construction labor prices are up. There are very few general contractors and subs who are available to the seller or the buyer. The supply and demand model is in play, and many sellers have put off doing the updates. Buyers are perplexed by high costs to build in the Crested Butte area – over $500 per foot+ when factoring in land cost. Buyers consider the unknown time, effort and money associated with buying a home that needs (or they desire) a major project to be daunting… so they wait and sit on the sidelines until the right home for them comes along.
We will continue to see new affluent Epic Pass skier families coming to Crested Butte. Visitors turn into lookers, who turn into buyers of Crested Butte real estate. The net net is Crested Butte is a really good value compared to many other cookie cutter crowded ski towns.
Especially when considering the full package, and the opportunity to start creating their lifetime of memories with family, friends and clients.
