Let's look at what's going on with the Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market. It continues to be hot! Forty-one properties are currently under contract in Aspen, with an average list price per sq. ft. of $1,508.  Two properties closed in Aspen this week. 1300 Red Butte Drive, listed by Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty, sold yesterday for $6,500,000, $1,286 sold price per sq. ft. 205 South Galena Street #13 sold for $2,375,000, $3,321 sold price per sq. ft. Another Penthouse, 623 E. Hopkins Avenue, went under contract and sold for $8,301,500 before hitting the Aspen MLS. Six properties have closed in Aspen this July, with an average sold price of $5,247,917 and an average sold price per sq. ft. of $1,581. The average sold price per sq. ft. has consistently been increasing every month since the beginning of 2015. Snowmass has also been seeing more action. Two properties closed over $7,000,000 in Snowmass last week. 849 Serviceberry Lane closed for $7,200,000, $1,387 sold price per sq. ft. 511 Edgewood Lane closed for $12,000,000, $2,424 sold price per sq. ft. This is the highest sold price per sq. ft. in the history of Snowmass Village. The Aspen Market is really strong and we're seeing more activity in Snowmass Village. 

I am excited to announce a great new listing at Smuggler Park! 321 Oak Lane is listed for $849,000. The spacious home has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a laundry room, lots of natural light and south facing views of Aspen Mountain. Aspen School District, low HOA's, and an easy walk or ride to everything in Aspen are a few of the advantages of this single-family Smuggler Park home. You can't find a better deal anywhere in Aspen. Call me if you are interested. The property is getting lots of interest.
