Crested Butte Real Estate Insider - News and Info for the Local Real Estate Market
Real Estate Markets are Local
March 2008 Edition
Good day from Crested Butte!

The Crested Butte real estate market continues to churn along in spite of national concerns of a recession as investors remain bullish on our ski town reminding us all know that real estate is a highly localized industry.

Year-to-date 2008 activity for residential properties is consistent as we've seen 18 deals close representing just over $15,500,000 in volume. 4 of the 18 residential deals included homes priced from $1.5 million to $2.85 million. The average days-on-market for these residential sales was 299 days.

For land, we've realized 9 land deals representing $3,440,000 in volume. The local market for vacant land in our area is currently quite polarized. Some vacant land parcels in Crested Butte South (10 miles south of Crested Butte) are selling for below $100,000 for the first time in 3 years. A 4/10th of an acre lot on Neville Way sold for $98,500 recently and there are 2 other parcels for sale under $100K and 33 parcels for sale in CB South priced under $200K.

Meanwhile, up the road in the town of Crested Butte and on the mountain in Mt. Crested Butte land is selling at prices on the other end of the spectrum. A recent 50 ft. x 125 ft. parcel on Sopris Avenue sold for $550,000 and a Prospect neighborhood parcel on the back side of Mt. Crested Butte just sold for $875,000. A 45 acre parcel at Trappers (above the town of Crested Butte) sold for $700,000.

Last week, the Buckhorn Ranch subdivision (5 minutes from downtown Crested Butte) was put under contract. This deal could end up being the one of the largest real estate transactions in our town's history. Asking price on this 200+ lot subdivision is $35 million. Parcels at Buckhorn Ranch range in size from sub-quarter acre home sites up to larger 1 and 2 acre tracts. Learn more about Buckhorn Ranch
