Hello from Crested Butte,   Another closing weekend for the ski area is upon us and of course it’s been snowing. No lifts? No problem. Historically April is a great month to ski in the Crested Butte backcountry and on CBMR’s ski slopes sans chairlifts. It is shaping up to be another fun “second” ski season with more powder turns this Spring! Tired of skiing? Head to Hartman Rocks for biking on their sweet high desert single track trail system. It’s only 30 miles away and you can grab groceries on your way back to the Butte. 🙂   The local real estate market – in spite of the news coming out of Wall Street and Washington D.C. – continues to churn right along in Crested Butte.   The first quarter was dang strong for the luxury single family home segment. 16 homes sold YTD representing $45... 04/07/2025

Greetings from Crested Butte Colorado! Contrary to what many assume Crested Butte's real estate market continues to improve and the trend is not great if you've been sitting on the sidelines expecting the market to retreat. A quick study of our year-over-year performance reveals that price and value are rising, the inventory of available residential properties remains low and high mortgage interest rates do not appear to be impacting us negatively.   During the first quarter of 2023 our local market realized just 11 single family home sales which equated to $18.6 million in volume. The median sold price of a home was $1.585 million.   During the first quarter of this year, our local market hit 18 single family home sales and just over $48 million in sales volume.
