The beginning of the year has been steady and surprising.  Many of the properties going under contract are those that have been on the market for more than a year.  I would consider many to be of the tear down persuasion or need a lot of love and attention.  As our inventory dwindles and sales continue to be steady and new built no where in site, could be trouble in the little town of Aspen for those who are looking to live there dream here.  There is still some choice properties that are of a great value. Call me for the latest great buys!
