2022 real estate market analysis

When making decisions about real estate, it is important to consider the trends. Read the article on page 12 of this magazine to get detailed information about the market over the last 20 years – lots of change over that time! You will notice that the change has been dramatic since 2020. Here are the details about trends in the last 3 years for specific areas and types of properties. This is the type of information a Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties Realtor can help you understand for whatever you are considering so reach out to one of them for more details.

The price per square foot varies throughout the valley, but the highest prices can be found within the Town of Crested Butte. This is the most desirable area and also has very limited growth potential as compared to other areas. These factors keep the prices high – both sales prices and price per square foot.

Condos in Mt. Crested Butte are the most affordable way to get started in the Crested Butte real estate market. It was not too long ago that you could buy a two bedroom condo in the $200,000s. Median prices for condos have gone up almost 70% in the past three years, making it much more challenging to get your foot in the door either as an investor or for a local trying to own a home here.

Crested Butte has a lot more vacant land than many resort areas in Colorado. This sector was the slowest to recover from the recession of 2006 and we had a lot of property for sale going into 2021. When the prices started to increase for residential property, buyers looked to land as a way to get into the market. In the first quarter of 2021 practically all of the land that was offered for sale changed hands – some of those properties had been on the market for 3-5 years!

Inventory is a buzz word in real estate right now and that holds true in the Gunnison Valley. No matter what sector you look at, buyers have less to choose from then they did in 2020. While the market has settled down from the frenzy of 2021, the lack of inventory is keeping prices high and making it challenging for buyers to find something to buy. Things are improving from the lowest inventory point in March 2022, but it doesn’t seem likely that the market will be flooded with listings in the near future.

Higher prices, lower inventory: a look at 20 years of CB real estate

By Katherine Nettles

Real estate in Crested Butte has had its share of ups and downs, but the market has kept a long-term trajectory of rebounding from downturns and climbing ever higher with prices showing long-term stability and increase despite occasional two to three year periods of falling prices or drastically rising prices. The past 20-plus years have seen many changes for the northern Gunnison Valley, with more upscale lodging and residential units in and around Mt. Crested Butte along with three different resort operators. At times, real estate prices have been associated with new resort ownership, such as in 2004 when the Mueller family purchased Crested Butte Mountain Resort. The real estate activity that followed in 2004-2005 was record-breaking, as were the years following the next shift in ownership when Vail Resorts purchased the resort in 2018.

In the town of Crested Butte, old miner’s cabins have been updated and remodeled, even while keeping their important historic value. Many are now vacation homes, and some are vacation rentals, and there is also an increase in alley homes, or accessory dwellings that are meant to house local workforce community members and offer a local point contact for out-of-town owners. Crested Butte has seen the largest price increases and the lowest inventory of any area in the North Valley.

In Skyland, the rise of high-end single family homes in the past two decades has added to what was previously more of a mixture of single family residences, condos and townhomes. It has seen a great deal of new construction, as has nearby Buckhorn Ranch by the private Crested Butte airstrip.

Crested Butte South has a growing population and commercial district, but remains primarily occupied by local residents with some vacation homeowners as well. Prices there have also, for several years, reflected low inventory and stable, sometimes fast-increasing prices.

After a tumultuous series of increases and price drops in the first 15 years of the new century, numbers across the North Valley climbed steadily from 2016

onward and 2020 and 2021 saw a quick rise of unprecedented price increases and volume of sales. Transaction volumes have recently decreased, and price increases have softened, but inventory levels remain low throughout the area.

Based on the Crested Butte News’ semi-annual real estate reports, we’ve compiled a history of how residential prices have changed over the past decades.

Single family homes

In Crested Butte, single family homes are now selling for more than seven times higher on average than they were in 2000. The number of homes sold hit a 13-year low in 2022, looking similar to the number of sales in 2008, likely due to scarce available real estate to purchase in the heart of town. As of early winter, the town of Crested Butte had 20 active single-family listings, ranging in price from $1,000,000 to

All figures

$9,900,000. These homes had an average asking price of $3,544,000.

In Mt. Crested Butte single family homes have more than quadrupled since 2000, while sales volumes have ranged widely from nine per year to as many as 41 in 2021. As of early winter, there were five single family homes listed for sale, ranging in price from $1,275,000 to $2,750,000 and one luxury home in Prospect listed for $15 million.

In Skyland prices and homes sold have generally been slower to climb and slower to retract, with prices almost doubling but number of homes sold mostly in the single digits save for 2020 and 2017, when sales hit a high of 10. Higher-end homes began gaining traction in the Skyland area in the early 2000’s. At the beginning of winter there were two single-family homes listed in Skyland averaging $3,150,000.

In Crested Butte South home sales and prices have steadily ticked upward, from eight homes averaging $503,000 in 2008 to 12 homes averaging $1,213,000 in 2022. During 2011 prices fell to a low of $337,000 on average, with sales volume way up to 20 homes that year. In 2021 there were a record 26 homes sold, and although the volume has dropped down prices continue to increase. At the beginning of winter there were four single-family homes in CB South averaging $1,255,750.

Condos/townhomes

Condominiums and townhomes have shown similar trends, with major downturns in 2009/10, increased sales volumes in 2012, slight downturns in 2015/16 and steady climbs ever since. In Crested Butte, price averages more than doubled from 2021 to 2022, from $533,00 to $1,109,000

and volume dropped 50% during that time, driving up value. In early winter there were 10 units for sale averaging $1,445,000.

In Mt. Crested Butte sales volumes have ranged widely in volume and price, from three units averaging $691,000 in 2008 to 162 units averaging $543,000 in 2021. There were 28 condo/townhome units for sale in early winter, ranging in price from $185,000 to $4,120,000.

In the Skyland/Country Club area condos and townhomes had not returned to their 2008 average selling price of $800,000 until 2020, when prices exceed the 2008 highs with a record 22 units averaging $926,000. In 2021 price averages dropped back to $677,000 and the first 10 months of 2022 saw four units sold for an average price of $400,500. There were no units listed in early winter.

In CB South, the 2012 sales volume increase came a year early for condos and townhomes, and sales have jumped around from nine to 22 each year since 2008 when the average selling price was $334,000. In the first 10 months of 2022 11 units had sold averaging $898,000, and there was one condo/townhome for sale in early winter for $1,200,000.

As of November 1, 2022 there were 77 properties under contract representing another $85,070,900 in potential sales dollars for the year. 2023 will be very different from the last three years with prices leveling off or possibly going down and hopefully some more inventory coming on the market. What is obvious from this look back is that the value of real estate in the area has continued to go up, even with some dips along the way. There is no reason to believe that this won’t continue, and this makes Crested Butte real estate a great long term investment.

Winter Events & things to do

By Katherine Nettles

While many of us are first drawn to Crested Butte for its gorgeous mountain scenery and snowy trails, there is so much more for people of all walks of life to enjoy. Unique events (many of them costumed) and other opportunities abound, which is one of the surprising and welcome charms for a small town at the end of the road. Whether you’re here for the skiing or the scenery this winter, there are plenty of other activities to take in as well, indoors and out.

Art

There is a monthly Art Walk, usually the last Saturday of the month, through the town of Crested Butte Creative District. There are several art galleries throughout town, with art ranging from photography to oil painting and more. These can be found along Elk Avenue, Belleview Avenue and the Kinder Padon Gallery within the Center for the Arts.

In addition, the Crested Butte Clay Studio is a fully equipped ceramics studio offering pottery classes for all ages, paintyour-own pottery sessions and more.

The Center

The Crested Butte Center for the Arts hosts dance performances, live music, symphonies, live theatre, wine and spirit tastings, art classes, author readings, trivia nights and much, much more throughout each season.

Some highlights include weekly art and wine drawing, knitting and painting classes, a monthly Uncorked! wine and spirit tasting series with sommelier Malia Brown and regular live music shows.

The Nordic Center

Not only does the Nordic Center host daily lessons for all abilities in both classic Nordic and skate skiing, but it also rents all the Nordic gear, snowshoes and even ice skates for the Big Mine ice arena next door. There are many Nordic races throughout the season of varying lengths. The most well-known is the Alley Loop, worth spectating even if you don’t want to showcase your “skinny skiing” abilities!

Magic Meadows Yurt out Peanut Lake Road provides a space for them and also hosts a series of bingo events and even upscale dinners.

Crested Butte mountain resort (cbmr)

The mountain has more than just skiing and riding to offer. December’s holiday celebrations include Santa’s visit on December 23, the holiday costume day December 24, and the New Year’s Eve torchlight parade and fireworks display. Enjoy the Springtime Ski Town Break Down concert series March 4, 11, 18 and 25. Don’t miss the final weekend of music, costumes, contests and pond skim.

commercial

ABOUT commercial real estate

When people think of Commercial real estate, they often picture tall office buildings or malls. The Gunnison Valley doesn’t have a lot of those, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities. Commercial investments range from apartment buildings, storage units, vacant land in commercial areas, office buildings and buildings or spaces for restaurants and retail. Businesses like restaurants and retail stores are offered for sale pretty consistently without any real property. Evaluating commercial opportunities is different from purchasing residential property so it is important to have an agent with commercial experience to guide you.

Incredible development opportunity in the City of Gunnison. This is the site of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad passenger and freight station depot. The Depot building itself is a long brick and stucco structure with hipped roof, two large garage doors on end and would be an amazing preservation project. The property is 3.35 acres directly bordering the CB /Gunnison Airport along the southern side. The property is zoned Industrial or could be presented as its own PUD for the right development. The City of Gunnison was very supportive in preliminary meetings of converting this to some sort of multi-family residential development with potentially a commercial component zone. The size of this property in the city limits of Gunnison and in the opportunity zone where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for tax incentives provided through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 make this an opportunity not to be missed.

This meticulously maintained multi-family property in downtown Gunnison consists of a family house with 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, 3 apartments and a studio unit. The family house offers an en-suite master bedroom, nice sized living area with fireplace and large kitchen with its own washer and dryer. Units 1 and 2 are 1 bed/3/4 bath each. Unit 3 is 1 bed/1 bath and Unit 4 is a studio unit. All of the spaces enjoy ground level living. This location features a big, fenced yard and mature landscaping. There is a common parking area located at the front of the property and some parking in the alley at the rear. The units enjoy and have maintained 100% occupancy. The current yearly gross rental income is $52,200.00. The seller has provided over $80,000.00 in improvements since 2016 and some of the upgrades include a new utility/mechanical room and new windows in the house. This property represents a fantastic investment opportunity or is perfect for anyone looking to occupy and rent the other units. The property is right on the boundary of commercial and residential zoning and may allow an additional commercial or residential building to be constructed. Buyer should contact the City of Gunnison to determine such ability. Gunnison offers tons of recreational opportunities and is the home of Western College University.

“ We’ve purchased 6 homes over the last 25 years in several states. We’ve honestly never experienced the level of service, care, expertise, and heart shown to us by our agent, Liz. She was, by far, the best agent we’ve ever worked with. She stayed connected and she was incredibly responsive, and she worked exceptionally hard at meeting all our needs from home search, negotiation, well inspections, communications with the sellers, title company, and credit union. She’s still working with us as we learn about our new community. Liz is the best we’ve ever worked with. Caring. Knowledgeable. Hard Worker. Simply the best!” - Todd Marksberry
