Strong Q1 Real Estate Sales Activity Valley Wide
The first quarter of 2017 was the strongest for Vail real estate unit sales and dollar volume since 2008. In all price-points above $300,000 there were gains, most notably in the mid and down valley markets and also the luxury market ($5m and up, highlighted by the January sale of 107 Rockledge Road for $23m).

a full Market Trend Report. Compared to a year ago at this time, inventory is down approximately 10% throughout the valley, while contracts are up 6.5%. In many price ranges and areas, buyers are active and if properties are priced to the market they are sold quickly and for close-to or even above asking prices. The speed of the market is due to pricing properties correctly. Although the Vail real estate market is healthy, buyers remain focused on market value – meaning sellers who test the market and price above it may lose qualified buyers and spend unnecessary time on the market.
