Telluride Real Estate Market Update- 2nd Quarter

Written By Brian O’Neill, Broker

June posted strong numbers, up 50% from last year, pushing the year to date market volume ahead of last year by 9% after a dismal start this year. Homes and condominiums in Town continue to see solid sales volumes and homes have started to show signs of price increases with condominiums sure to follow. Mountain Village condominium activity has been strong due to great values and remains a great value play for the long term user/investor due to swollen inventories. With transactions happening at under $400/sf for quality product and the upper end trading at roughly $700/sf, it has been hard for many to resist. Sales of homes in Mountain Village have been sluggish while land in Town has shown a slight uptick in activity as a result of the reduced inventory for homes in Town.

There are 52 properties under contract; 5 are over $2m and 1 is over $4m which is a penthouse in town for over $1,200/sf. Interest has been tremendous with a lot of properties being studied by buyers and offers being negotiated. Sellers who decide they want to sell and meet market pricing, have helped make the market.

I recently took over the sales of Element 52/Auberge Residences http://element52.aubergeresorts.com/ . Already this summer there are two units under contract and interest has been overwhelmingly strong due to a recent price adjustment of 20-30% for, unquestionably, the best product in our market managed by legendary boutique operator; Auberge Resorts. Most notable Auberge properties are Esparanza in Cabo, Calistoga Ranch in Napa and Auberge du Soleil in Napa as well.

It appears as though for now that real estate has got some wind in its sails as evidenced by our market and national reports below.
