Crested Butte Real Estate | Ski-Season Results
Ski-Season Results for 2014-2015 are Up but below 2012-2013
We did not have a great snow year, but visitors, skier days, lodging and sales tax
revenue were all up (as much as 16% in Crested Butte through February) compared to
last year. Visitors brings interest and activity to real estate and Crested Butte real estate
market saw an overall rise in total transactions and volume as well. As long-term
renter demand has increased, there seems to be a lack of affordable or “lower-end”
single family homes available with only six homes available between $400,000 -
$500,000. There nearly 40 condos for sale under $250,000 but all come with higher
burden of HOA fees. If you look further in this report you will see that there is not a
significant rise in single family home prices, or price per sq. ft., but there is a lack of
inventory available for sale at the lower end of the market right now which is why we
have seen a significant number of lots sold, 45 vs 19 last year, and 27 two years ago.
Average Days on Market (DOM) for all properties was 324 and 307 for SF Homes.
The Assessor has sent out updated property valuations – and some have seen an
increase in their property value which will lead to an increase in taxes. Remember that
the revaluation, or reappraisal, occurs in odd-numbered years, and the property
valuation notices sent out are based on transactions that occurred between July 1,
2009 and June 30, 2014. The Assessor uses an automated Multiple Regression Analysis
comparison approach and not an individual property analysis. There is an appeal or
protest process – see http://www.gunnisoncounty.org/132/Assessors-Office

Average Price per square foot is a useful metric to compare properties and it is especially
useful to analyze data to identify patterns and trends. It also is a helpful metric many
people use when considering building vs. buying an existing home. As the current data
shows we have a fairly flat trend year over year with regard to the overall price per sq. ft.
Single Family homes are up 10% from the same period last year, which is interesting
considering the higher priced Luxury Homes do not make up much of the mix sold this
year (3 sold vs. last year over $1M).
Condos & Town Homes saw a 10% decline in price per sq. ft. when compared to the
same period last year, but up compared to prior years.
What Real Estate is Selling in the Crested Butte area? As the table shows
Condos & Townhomes lead the pack at39% (compared to 56% last year) of the
total count, but only 25% (vs. 46% last year) of the volume. Single Family Homes
are 25% of the count and 54% of the volume. Luxury Properties over $1M
(typically purchased by the Second Homeowner) represent only a 7% share of the
number of transactions, but 28% of the total dollar volume.

Trends show Prices for Single Family Homes Rise and
Condos & Townhomes show slight Fall
Single Family (SF) homes – Comparing Ski-Season
results from 2014-2015 to prior years we see that the
Median Price for Single Family homes is flat at $542,000
and actually down from the ski-season from 2012-2013.
We do see the Average SF Home price has risen to
$723,000 and except for the sharp rise in 2012-2013 ski
season it shows an increasing trend. As noted – we are
not working with a huge sample set for the ski-season this
may be a result of the quality and location of homes sold
as there are not many luxury homes in the mix. Given the
history of the Crested Butte area – there are still many
areas where there is a 30 year old home that has not been
updated, and a new 5 year old home right next door. This
is the reason to reach out to a quality real estate agent for
help understanding the values in the market. Also see
2014 In Review Market Report for 12 month analysis.
Condos & Townhomes –prices continue to be fairly flat
in this segment of the market. The Median Price for
Condos and Townhomes was $175,000 compared with
$183,000 last year, and the Average Price was down.
Crested Butte Luxury Real Estate Market - $1 Million +
As the table shows there have been 9 Single Family homes
Sold for $1M or more during this 2014 – 2015 Ski-Season
compared with only 3 during this same period last year, and 12
Sold in 2012-2013. Average sold price for these homes was
$1.2M, Average Price per sq. ft. was $387. The 7% Discount
from Asking Price to Selling Price is lower than the rest of the
market.

Optimistic for Summer Crested Butte Real Estate
All indicators are that this will be an active Summer for Real Estate
transactions. We have had really good numbers the past two years, and
there are no significant external forces that lead me to believe that 2015
will not replicate. Interest rates are still low, there are national numbers
supporting a renewed interest in Vacation Real Estate, there are lots of
events again scheduled for the summer (including the Enduro World
Series mountain bike series stop in Crested Butte). Compared with so
many other mountain towns Crested Butte is a special place, and
represents a great value in real estate.
There has been a lot of banter about short-term property rentals as “the
reason” there is a lack of long-term rentals available especially in town.
There is also talk of taking property rights away from homeowners who
have invested in Crested Butte – not good. Short-term rental add to the
charm of visiting our town. We have deed restrictions in place. We are a
tourism and real estate economy – an increase in occupied short-term
rentals is a good thing, and proof that people want to come here, rent a
house, ski, bike, hike, fly fish, relax, shop and eat. All Good!
How can I help you? This Crested Butte Real Estate Market report
