Crested Butte Collection Newsletter
August 2021 Edition
As the days are starting to get shorter, we continue to enjoy the summer season here in Crested Butte. July was extremely busy with record numbers of people visiting our beautiful valley. Many of our regular festivals and events returned after a yearlong hiatus, including the 49th Annual Crested Butte Arts Festival which was in a new location this year. In our opinion, August is one of the best months to visit and though summer is starting to wind down, there is still plenty of time to get out and enjoy hiking and/or biking in the high country.
As we head into August, the overall residential real estate market continues to thrive. We have closed over $220mil in sales volume so far this year with another $112.2mil currently under contract. The sales volume at this time last year was $84.8mil. The average sales price is up a whopping 21% to $1,019,985 from $807,784. Inventory continues to be our biggest challenge with properties going under contract almost as fast as they come on the market.
Appreciatively,
