Real Estate In The News & Quarterly Market Updates October 2020


332 W Main Street 101A Aspen $2,800,000

This is an opportunity to own a commercial building, rather than owning just a space within—and this isn’t just any building. This is a landmark Victorian on Main Street with a West End address. Hailing from a different era, this grand dame exudes charm with high ceilings, oak floors, tall windows, gracious porch and all the trim work you’d expect in a building of this time period, while still being incredibly functional. Used currently as a medical center, the property has the flexibility to suit almost any business with multiple rooms on each floor. Full height in basement means great storage. Triple Net lease in place until July 2024. Please do not disturb the tenant. This is a working business with customers. Call listing broker for showings and financial details. Tenant has right of first refusal.


Greetings Everyone! When we were again allowed to show property in late June after being shut down since March 13th, we brokers “thought” it was possible to have a good 3rd quarter. What city dweller wouldn’t want to live here? Town was full, Covid-19 numbers were down and everyone was happy to be spending time in our great outdoors. None of us in the industry could imagine we would do more than three and a half times the dollar volume we did in the same time period in 2019. There were 601 closed transactions in the third quarter of 2019 with a total dollar volume of $538,497,000. Our 2020 third quarter results were 994 closed transactions with a dollar volume of $1,878,874,405!!!! This is the largest dollar volume in the Roaring Fork Valley’s history with only one third more transactions which obviously speaks to sales in the higher price ranges. There were 21 properties that sold in 2019 over $10,000,000 but in 2020 there have been 72 sales of properties $10 million or more! (And we’re not done yet!) Where is real estate in Aspen and our little Valley headed in the future? Lend me your crystal ball! Best,


ASPEN

City Coffers Growing Thanks to Real Estate The Wheeler Opera House and the city’s affordable housing program were the beneficiaries of one whopper of an August for residential sales in Aspen, the Aspen Times reported. Housing coffers grew by $2.5 million in August through the collection of real estate transfer taxes from property sales in Aspen. That was 297.8% more than the $639,178 in RETT collections in July 2019 and nearly three times the $657,900 budgeted by the city for August. The Wheeler collected $1.3 million through the RETT in August, which was 278.1% greater than the $343,499 it made in August 2019. It also nearly tripled city projections, which forecast $334,300 for August.

SNOWMASS

Snowmass Tourism Preps for Winter Snowmass Village is doing its best to prepare for winter guests while acknowledging that what the visitor numbers will look like is a great unknown, the Aspen Daily News reported. Some adaptations include restaurants being allowed to expand onto sidewalks with planters, plexiglass and electric heaters to keep visitors warm while dining outdoors. The town will provide blankets for diners and has been working with state liquor license authorities to allow for an increased footprint at dining

establishments. Nordic Center Will Not Open this Winter The Snowmass Cross Country Center will not reopen its doors this winter for Nordic ski rentals or lessons, the Aspen Times reported. The decision to close the center, which the Ute Mountaineer has operated out of the Snowmass Club’s golf pro shop in the Black Saddle Bar and Grille building for roughly 18 years, is a result of the Snowmass center’s continued struggle with staffing and low profitability, and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

BASALT

New Uses Considered for an Old Space An underutilized piece of property in the midvalley owned by the U.S. Forest Service could get repurposed for housing, recreation and open space through the Flexible Partnership Act that’s part of the 2018 Farm Act, the Aspen Daily News reported. In September, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), White River National Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams, and elected and appointed officials from Basalt, Eagle and Pitkin counties walked the 72-acre site adjacent to Crown Mountain Park and discussed the future vision for the property. Public comment has been taken since June, and recommendations are forthcoming, according to both agencies.

Basalt Sales Tax Going Strong Tax collections were up 11.6% from August 2019 according to the Basalt sales tax report for August, which details information from July, the Aspen Times reported. Leading the way were grocery stores, building materials sellers, general retail, sporting goods retail and, of course, retail liquor. In a change from earlier months during the pandemic, restaurants with bars registered a strong 13.6% increase for the month compared with last year. Restaurants without bars didn’t enjoy the same surge. Sales were down 10.3%, according to the sales tax report.

CARBONDALE

Multi-Sport Indoor Facility Opens Tommy Cox and Amanda Trendell, both former Division I athletes from the East Coast who currently coach the Aspen High School boys and girls lacrosse teams, recently opened Elite Performance Academy, a year-round, indoor sports training facility located just o Highway 82 near Carbondale. With 5,000-square feet of turf, EPA caters primarily to lacrosse and soccer at the start, but with hopes of expanding to other sports in the future.

On top of the turf space, which is surrounded by safety netting, EPA has a full complement of equipment for weight training and cardio. They have everything a coach would need for practice, from balls to cones, can oer up nutrition advice for athletes and even have the ability to record practice sessions for technical analysis and to help students with recruiting videos. The space is available for rent, whether for private training sessions, group practices or independent leagues.
