MARKET HIGHLIGHTS The Telluride real estate market’s total sales for 2016 were nearly on par in both dollars and number of sales, compared to 2015. $452.8M in contracts closed last year, only 2% below 2015 (which had the extraordinary Mountain Village home sale of $14M by TREC). The number of sales were up one point compared to 2015. What started as an uncertain year due to an unexpected plunge of the DOW and election concerns, first quarter sales finished down 39%. The Telluride market rebounded exceptionally well and 2016 had a satisfying, stable finish. TREC is pleased that its sales performed exceedingly better than the market with the company’s dollar volume up 14% over 2015. Notably, Mountain Village saw an improvement of high-end luxury home sales. In 2015, there was one home sale over $5M, the abovementioned extraordinary sale of $14M. In 2016, there were six home sales over $5M in Mountain Village. This is an indication that mountain resort markets are an increasingly attractive purchase. The Town of Telluride’s persistent low supply continues to be a contributing factor to a mild slowdown in that segment. While the number of sales are down nearly 20%, dollar volume is only down 11% signaling the Town of Telluride remains desirable. With construction taking place on nearly every block, this should soon correct itself. Given rising energy prices in key Telluride buyer market segments and a strengthened DOW, the outlook for 2017 looks positive. According to the MLS, $96.8M in sales are currently under contract (with a third of those contracted through TREC!). The combination of economic conditions and properties under contract indicate the market off to a good start for 2017. Forbes recently gave Telluride a rave review, saying there is “a compelling argument that it is the single best ski vacation choice in the country.” Telluride has also proven to be a strong value play when compared to other mountain resort markets, with entry level prices well below that of other luxury resorts. An unbeatable combination.

Town of Telluride properties continue to be an attractive purchase. Single-family homes saw a 33% increase in the number of sales and 42% increase in dollar volume compared to ‘15. Inventory is becoming increasingly limited due to its high demand. Condos/townhomes saw a 18% decrease in the number of sales compared to ’15 but only 7% decrease in dollar volume, signifying a desire for town properties. Vacant land sales are slightly down as inventory is being absorbed, with dollar volume down 34%, due in part to the extraordinary sale of the vacant lot at 222 W San Juan Ave at $9M in July ‘15 by TREC.

County single-family home sales are up 64% in number, with the Ski Ranches and Aldasoro neighborhoods being the most desirable for their proximity to Telluride and Mountain Village, along with open space and views. Condo/townhome sales are down 6% in the remainder of county as inventory is overall limited in this segment. Land sales are down slightly at 8%. This decrease and large increase in single-family homes sales suggests buyers are favoring turn-key properties over building.
