A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Once again, SSF is the market leader in the luxury segment with 40 percent of the market share of sold properties priced above $4 million.

As we head into the final quarter of 2021, I continue to be both amazed and proud of the strong performance of our Slifer Smith & Frampton (SSF) team here in the Vail Valley. In this fast-paced, competitive market, we are team players with like-minded objectives and goals who love to collaborate and offer each other support.

Strong demand and low inventory continue to drive prices up across the Vail Valley. At the conclusion of the third quarter, we have reached more than $1.6 billion in closed sales, and both transactions and dollar volume are up. Once again, SSF is the market leader in the luxury segment with 40 percent of the market share of sold properties priced above $4 million.

Prices are still rising from Vail all the way to Edwards and beyond to Gypsum, with prices per-square-foot and average sales prices still climbing across all markets. In fact, prices in Eagle broke the million-dollar mark with the average sale price for a single-family home reaching nearly $1.25 million. We look forward to finishing strong with a promising fourth quarter and to do our part to keep everyone healthy for a successful winter ski season in Vail.

We are thrilled to finally return to a sense of normalcy, in part because of our team’s commitment to have a 100% vaccinated workforce across all four of our markets by November 22. We join other leaders in our mountain communities to protect the beautiful place where we live. It’s part of our ongoing commitment to be the most approachable, locally owned brokerage in Eagle County. We can’t wait to get back to doing the work we love, in person with shaking hands and smiling faces, the way it is meant to be. Nothing is more important to us here at SSF than our community. It is essential to our business, essential to our friends, essential to our families, and essential to our lives.

That’s backed up each and every day by our firm’s brokers and through our philanthropic work with the Charitable Foundation of Slifer Smith & Frampton. We are committed to our support for local non-profits and are proud to have been able to volunteer with organizations including Habitat for Humanity and the Vail Valley Mountain Trail Alliance.

Nearly 60 years after Vail’s first realtor, Rod Slifer set up his firm, SSF continues to execute a vision that prioritizes service, local expertise and careful stewardship of our mountain communities. SSF has listed and sold more property than any other real estate firm in the mountain corridors and maintains the leading market share in many neighborhoods today.

Most of all, we are invested in educating people about this beautiful valley where we live, work, and play. We look forward to seeing you around the valley and on the slopes.
