The Aspen Report
spen’s winter season brought a strong increase in occupancy, helping to fuel a 25% increase
in Aspen real estate sales over the 2013 winter before. With an early ski area opening (16
days) and epic snow, there was a palpable sense of optimism in Aspen throughout the ski season.
The impact of stellar skiing conditions – and the spike in advance lodging reservations made in
response to them – cannot be underestimated. That the increase in both reservations and real estate
has continued into the summer has been welcome news to business leaders and sellers who have been
waiting for the local economy to show new signs of life. Such results put everyone in a good mood
and this, in combination with the prevailing sentiment in the media that the country’s economy and the
housing market, in particular, are recovering at a now accelerating pace, give most of us in the Aspen
real estate business a renewed sense of confidence about the future. As it is nationally, that confidence
is still measured, though, and while not yet wildly exuberant, it’s certainly far brighter than it’s been in
over five years. The market has stabilized, and even begun improving in many areas.
Welcome to The Aspen Report, our semi-annual examination of the upper Roaring Fork Valley
residential real estate market. This report is based on transactions that closed in the last 12 months and
compares both YTD and 12-month figures to activity that took place in previous periods.
Among many highlights: the greater market strengthened considerably in the last 12 months.
The number of sales continued to increase, exceeding 500 annual transaction sides for more
than two years now. And, total dollar volume increased 40% in the first half of 2014, as discerning
buyers began acquiring more expensive properties and “deals” disappeared. (See further indications of a
strengthening market on page 14)
These are just numbers, though, in the end. There is a great deal more to our observations that live in
our intuition and experience. We invite you to call us with your questions.

What this graph means:
Year-to-date sales from the 3 uppervalley communities, plus luxury
transactions, are plotted on the same
graph to visually illustrate the relative
rarity of sales over $7.5M, and the
differences in sales concentration in
the three areas with respect to price
and activity.
So far this year, the vast majority
of sales have occurred:
• Under $5 million in Aspen(94% of
139 transactions)
• Under $3 million in Snowmass
(94% of 100 transactions)
• Under $1 million in Basalt
(84% of 62 transactions)

Aspen Residential Activity
Sweet Spots: Central Core, West End, West Aspen
B
y all accounts, Aspen had a steady to upward trending year in 2013. Transactions increased slightly to 2007 levels and
average condominium prices per sq ft rose by 2%, while single family homes finally broke out of their 4-year sideways band of
around $970/sq ft, ending the year at $1020/sq ft, which has continued into 2014.
Meanwhile, neatly tucked inside of that average performance, Aspen’s Central Core condominiums have seen a 20%
increase in average prices, which are presently approaching $1300/sq ft. With downtown Aspen condo inventory now hovering
just above the one year sales number, and average asking prices for that inventory about 20% above 2013 sales prices, it seems
likely that prices will continue rising unless there is a substantial drop in demand. Our observation is that this segment of the market
is fully recovered - prices and

Homes in Red Mountain, the West End and West Aspen are similarly good, strong markets, although there is a great deal of buyer discernment
in play when prices get into the $8M+ range. Unfortunately, this same strength does not extend out beyond The Aspen Club to the east or
beyond the Maroon Creek Club to the west – these peripheral neighborhoods around the city, especially Mountain Valley, McLain Flats and
Starwood, are less stable. With every mile further from town, the lower the prices, the deeper the discounts, and the longer the selling times.

A Story of Downtown Reinvention
W
hile many segments of the local market were quiet for some
years coming out of the economic downturn, construction in
Aspen’s commercial core picked up significantly, starting in
2011. Now, after nearly three full years of increasing activity, downtown
Aspen is in the midst of a full-fledged reinvention.
In 2011, with $100 million worth of construction activity in the first six
months, eight redevelopment projects were happening on Spring Street
alone, as the boundaries of Aspen’s core began to stretch eastward. The
culmination of that activity is the new Shigeru Ban-designed Aspen Art
Museum — which made the New York Times list of 52 places to go in
2014 and serves as an anchor point for a new downtown aesthetic.
The next year, 2012, saw several downtown projects completed, including
a brand-new 4-story building on Cooper Avenue that set the tone for
mixed-use buildings to come: street-level retail, second-floor office, and
luxury penthouses on top.
Last year, saw a flurry of activity as building permit values rose to over
$200 million, and construction took over several downtown corners. Some
of those projects — the Aspen One Building (the former Gap store), with
its classy high-ceilinged retail spaces, and the mixed-use Muse Building,
which sits on the site of a former parking lot that was adjacent to the old
Wienerstube restaurant — have come to fruition this year.
All this activity represents a confidence and long-term investment in
Aspen that bodes very well for the future. But it’s not done yet, not
by a long shot. The first half of 2014 saw over $124 million worth of
construction activity in Aspen — and many projects (see next page) have
yet to break ground, promising that this story of reinvention will continue
well beyond 2015.
Key to this continuing development are two relatively new storylines:
Mark Hunt, and the City of Aspen’s Lodge Incentive Program. Hunt, a
prominent Chicago developer who has moved his family to Aspen, and his
investors have purchased over a dozen downtown buildings since 2010,
totaling close to $100 million. Only two have seen wholesale changes so
far: the Aspen One Building and The Hotel Jerome, which underwent a
top-to-bottom interior renovation in 2013. But if the level of investment
and pride in quality in those two buildings are any indication, Aspen has a
good partner in Hunt, who is reportedly eyeing thoughtful changes for the
Main Street Conoco, the Buckhorn Arms (Domino’s Pizza) Building, and
the Bidwell Building (across from Paradise Bakery), while perhaps leaving
others (such as the New York Pizza building) relatively untouched.
Meanwhile, Aspen City Council is working on a set of potential code changes
designed to encourage the renovation of small and mid-size lodging
properties and otherwise incentivize the creation of new short-term beds.
With programs tailored to both traditional lodges and condo complexes, the
City is proposing three graduated packages of incentives — which include
extra height, more guest parking, an expedited approval process, lowered
affordable housing requirements, and more free-market residential, among
others. Whether this complex package of incentives (the ordinance itself is
about 100 pages long) spurs significant lodging redevelopment is anyone’s
guess at this point, but at the very least, there’s widespread recognition that
something needs to be done.
Here, then, on the following pages is a look at the projects that are
reinventing Aspen. Those that are completed or are well underway
represent nearly $100 million worth of construction activity (according
to publicly available building permit files), while those in the pipeline are
worth many millions more.

the vast majority of that decline being in the lower-priced

price, the fewer interested buyers there are, although luxury
activity over $7.5M is still on par with the last four years, at
about 3 sales per year.

some time, averaging 70-90 sales/yr compared to,

With regard to single-family home sales, activity is

Also of concern is the lack of a compelling story about the future
of Snowmass as a result of the Town and developer still plodding

completion of Base Village (see related story on page 9).

Base Village Completion Taking Shape | Fall 2014
After years of uncertainty over the future of Base Village, Snowmass is engaged
in a process to finalize a plan of action over the next several months.
After years of uncertainty over the future of Base Village, two interested buyers
have stepped forward to propose projects that could see over 150 residential
units built there, while the Town of Snowmass Village is engaged in a political
process to outline the completion of the project.
The Aspen Skiing Company has revived plans to build a Limelight Hotel
Snowmass, with 102 rooms and a public restaurant, bar, and lounge area —
much like its very successful Aspen counterpart. Encompassing two buildings,
The Limelight complex would also include 15 free-market condominiums, 3
employee-housing units, a Four Mountain Sports shop, and a private Snowmass
Mountain Club. The ski company also wants to move forward on plans for 10
luxury Fanny Hill Townhomes (below Woodrun Place and across Wood Road
from The Crestwood), which it hopes to be able to build at about the same time
as The Limelight.
Meanwhile, the Sunrise Company and Oaktree Capital Management, owners
of the Dancing Bear Aspen, have signed a letter of intent to purchase the lot
next door to The Limelight to develop a high-amenity resort complex. Sunrise’s
plans include finishing the two faux-front buildings adjacent to the parking
garage (the former Little Nell building and the Arrival Center) and, along with
one new building, creating a residence club that could include up to 44 wholly
owned and fractional-ownership condos, to be managed similarly to the
Dancing Bear.
Both projects are to be incorporated into a land-use application that Base
Village owner Related Colorado plans to submit to the town by mid-October. This
application is actually an amendment to the original 2004 approvals and would
include any additional plans Related has for the completion of Base Village,
which originally envisioned over 600 residential units and a new retail village.
Construction on Base Village stalled out during the Great Recession after nearly
Master Plan
100 condominiums, almost all pre-sold at record prices, plus a small retail/
restaurant plaza, were completed in 2008. The development went through a
foreclosure process, emerging with essentially the same ownership in 2012,
but its lack of completion and uncertain future has had the effect of slowing
Snowmass Village’s real estate recovery.
Informal talks between the developers, elected officials, and local residents
this past spring got things rolling again. During that community input process,
Related announced that it had secured financing to complete the project, and
residents voiced their desire to see it get done. The recent emergence of two
potential development partners in the Aspen Skiing Company and Sunrise
Company is another positive step forward.
Unfortunately, a looming deadline of development rights has both complicated
the forward progress and reopened the long-simmering community debate over
Base Village.
In early November, vesting rights for the initial, uncompleted phases of Base
Village expire. Related is asking the town to extend that deadline by three to
five years, in exchange for guaranteeing a construction schedule within that
timeframe. Milestones include the completion of a roundabout at Brush Creek
and Wood Roads by summer 2016, the second Viceroy building by the end of
2016, and upper Wood Road and snowmelt system improvements by the end of
2017. The developers still have until the original deadline of November 2024 to
complete the entire project.
And while there’s a general sense of urgency to “get on with it” — to get Base
Village done — Town Council is likely to do everything in its power to hold
Related’s feet to the fire on its perceived responsibilities to the community, and
to receive assurances that would preclude any more delays or surprises with this
essential development project.

Sweet Spots: Any Property Priced Under $600,000,

T
he Basalt market behaves a little differently than its neighboring resort areas, as it has a much
smaller second-home segment and significantly lower underlying land values. Having ridden the
price bubble up even further in 2007-08 than most communities, due to spillover from Aspen
and Snowmass buyers looking for better ”deals,” Basalt owners felt a much greater impact from the
recession, with rising unemployment in the valley hitting them harder, and sales activity plummeting in
2009-10 (an 80% fall) which contributed to deeper price drops than were felt in Aspen and Snowmass.

However, those same price drops made the Basalt area seem a relative bargain that much sooner, and
activity had jumped to 70% of former levels by 2012, which, combined with continued low inventory,
stabilized prices and began driving them higher. Activity has been suppressed largely by that restricted
inventory and still-cautious buyers through this spring, with mid-range sales ($600K-$2M) especially
lackluster for a while.
No longer. The market has heated up in the last 30 days, which is evident in the 87% increase
in pending contracts above. About 20% of those contracts are mid-range properties, and
one is pushing $3 million.
Still, inventory has grown, and sellers are still bending. It just hasn’t reached the sellers’ market owners
were hoping for this year. It’s no time for sellers to be overconfident in their pricing, unless
their property’s value is under $600,000.

The Luxury Market
A
look at the sales graph above illustrates the difficulty in finding something logical about luxury property sales. These
properties sell at the rate of about 25 per year and, pretty consistently, total about $300 million in dollar volume.
With just 4% of the sales, yet 30% of the dollar volume, this is the market that captures nationwide
attention. Multi-million dollar properties are bought for cash at lottery-winning prices. Even our dividing line for the luxury
market, at $7.5 million*, leaves dozens of properties out of the mix whose values would otherwise provide healthy retirement
nest eggs for most Americans. But the truth is, the base value for all real estate is land, and Aspen area land is some of the most
beautiful and rare in the world. Any property worth considering in this category has an underlying land
MO value of several million
dollars, making the

who play in it, is simply
not driven very much by conventional market forces. People simply buy homes when they like them and pay what they need
or want to for them. It is the very definition of a highly subjective market.
That said, there are nonetheless some interesting statistics here. At $13.2 million, average prices are approaching
our $14M record levels, even though there is about a 4-year supply of inventory. And we’re seeing the lowest average
discount from asking price in five years. This market certainly isn’t in any trouble.
2013 produced 23 transactions, while generating a record average price per foot of $1750. Since then, this segment has
been growing at a rapid pace, with 33 sales in the last 12 months, and a near-record $436M in dollar volume. The yearto-date figures are even more dramatic when compared with 2013 YTD, with sales for those 7 months up 125% in 2014,
and pending sales up 367%.
(*) Note: Luxury, as we’ve defined it – over $7.5M - is a rarified market which, if not separated out as we do in these
reports, could skew the greater market average sales price by up to 30%. It’s too small a segment to reduce to percentage
changes in activity, and too large a market in volume to include in the rest of the market at large. In Snowmass, one $44M
sale (actual), if included in these statistics, would inflate the avg sales price of 28 Snowmass homes by $1.6M. And, since
it wasn’t a ski-accessible home, it would nearly double the “average price.”

Our Man festO
Celebrating Our 20th Anniversary
We believe your mother was wrong. The world does revolve around you.
We believe if we can also be gardeners, math geeks and watch guards, our clients can take naps,
vacations and us at our word.
We believe that when trust is there, it’s palpable. And when it’s not, people talk about it a lot.
We believe just hanging out at The Aspen Institute will give you ideas.
We believe that what gets a property sold in real life is the lion-hearted devotion of one broker.
We believe that working collaboratively rather than competitively with each other makes us
smarter, stronger and way less paranoid.
We believe you should give it a rest and let us do the overwhelm.
We believe real estate is in our DNA, or somebody’s putting something in our drinking water.
We eat, sleep and dream it.
We believe a bowl of apples and a new welcome mat should not be called staging. They should be
called a bowl of apples and a new welcome mat.
We believe Aspen is a soul-saving place, or we’d all have left for the beach by now.
We believe matters of money and real estate can be gnarly, overwhelming and complicated.
Luckily, they can also be understood, reasoned with, and put in their place.
We believe wondering if you hired the right broker is a sure sign you didn’t.
We believe – buyer or seller – you should get what you want, be ridiculously well-informed and
feel sinfully indulged the whole way through.
We believe mountains don’t disappear, rivers don’t stop moving, and that there will never
be another Aspen.
We believe that your broker should make you happy.
We believe size matters, which is why we stayed small.
We believe dogs should be included in every activity.
We’ve been serving homemade pie every Friday for 20 years, and we believe you should know this.
