October 2025 Real Estate Market Update: Aspen, Basalt & Snowmass Village | Stephanie Kroll | Avant Garde Aspen Luxury Real Estate

Stephanie Kroll

As we move deeper into the fall and approach the end of 2025, the Roaring Fork Valley real estate market continues to show a mix of shifting inventory levels, price recalibrations, and pockets of intense demand—depending on property type and location. Below is a full breakdown of how Aspen, Basalt, and Snowmass Village performed through October 2025, with year-over-year comparisons that help illuminate broader market trends.

ASPEN MARKET UPDATE

Single-Family Homes

Aspen’s single-family home market shows a steady increase in activity, even as prices adjust from last year’s highs.

  • New Listings: Up 14.3% for October (7 → 8) and up 23.4% year-to-date.

  • Closed Sales: Flat for the month (7 → 7), but up 12.9% YTD.

  • Median Sales Price: Down 17.9% for October, though up 5.8% YTD.

  • Average Sales Price: Down 8.5% for October and down 9.9% YTD.

  • Percent of List Price Received: Down to 89.3% for October, indicating more negotiation power for buyers.

  • Days on Market: Jumped 20.9% to 289 days for the month.

  • Inventory: Up 8.4% with 90 active listings.

  • Months Supply: Slightly lower at 13.7 months.

Takeaway:
Aspen’s single-family segment is balancing out with more inventory and longer days on market. Buyers are gaining leverage, and sellers need to price strategically in today’s more selective environment.

Condos & Townhomes

Condo activity is showing more volatility month over month due to smaller sample sizes, but overall stability year-to-date.

  • New Listings: Doubled for October (6 → 12), but flat YTD.

  • Closed Sales: Up 80% for the month, yet down 3.4% YTD.

  • Median Sales Price: Down 45.3% for the month (small sample), but nearly flat YTD.

  • Average Sales Price: Down 17.2% for October; up 2.6% YTD.

  • Percent of List Price Received: Up to 94.8% for October.

  • Days on Market: Down 22.5% for October, but slightly higher YTD.

  • Inventory: Down 7.2% to 64 active units.

  • Months Supply: Down to 7.1 months.

Takeaway:
Inventory tightening and stronger list-to-sale price performance suggest buyers remain active, especially for well-located, turnkey units. Pricing remains sensitive but not distressed.

BASALT MARKET UPDATE

Single-Family Homes

Basalt shows a more constrained single-family market with fewer new listings and extended market times.

  • New Listings: Down 50% for October (6 → 3) and down 1.9% YTD.

  • Closed Sales: Flat for the month; down 14.3% YTD.

  • Median Sales Price: Essentially flat for October; down 12.1% YTD.

  • Average Sales Price: Up 5.1% for the month but down 12.7% YTD.

  • Percent of List Price Received: Down sharply for October to 88%.

  • Days on Market: Spiked 202.9% for October (69 → 209).

  • Inventory: Down 14.8% to 23 homes.

  • Months Supply: Down to 8.2 months.

Takeaway:
Basalt’s single-family home market is slower and thinner. With limited inventory and longer days on market, motivated sellers should consider strategic pricing, while buyers may find room for negotiation.

Condos & Townhomes

In contrast to the single-family market, Basalt’s condo and townhome segment is experiencing vigorous activity.

  • New Listings: Down 33.3% for October, but up 19.2% YTD.

  • Closed Sales: Up 50% for the month and up a remarkable 65.6% YTD.

  • Median Sales Price: Up 65.7% in October and up 32.2% YTD.

  • Average Sales Price: Up 50.2% for the month; up 29.7% YTD.

  • Percent of List Price Received: Up to 98.5% for October.

  • Days on Market: Up 30.7% for the month and up 59.5% YTD.

  • Inventory: Up slightly to 40 units.

  • Months Supply: Down significantly to 7.9 months.

Takeaway:
Demand for Basalt condos and townhomes remains extremely strong. Prices are rising quickly, and sellers are capturing near-full list price. This is one of the brightest segments in the valley.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE MARKET UPDATE

Single-Family Homes

Snowmass saw major month-to-month price swings driven by very limited sample size but a healthy YTD trend.

  • New Listings: Up 100% for the month (1 → 2).

  • Closed Sales: Down 75% for the month; up 20% YTD.

  • Median Sales Price: Down 49.2% for October, but up 12.8% YTD.

  • Average Sales Price: Down 50.9% for the month; up 7.7% YTD.

  • Percent of List Price Received: Down to 90.1% for October.

  • Days on Market: Down 60.2% to just 64 days.

  • Inventory: Up 7.7% to 14 homes.

  • Months Supply: Flat at 4.9 months.

Takeaway:
Year-to-date price appreciation and reduced days on market indicate solid buyer demand for Snowmass single-family homes, even as individual months fluctuate widely.

Condos & Townhomes

Snowmass Village condos show the sharpest year-to-date declines in sales and pricing valley-wide.

  • New Listings: Flat for the month; up 8% YTD.

  • Closed Sales: Down 88% for the month and down 46.4% YTD.

  • Median Sales Price: Down 34.9% for the month; down 16% YTD.

  • Average Sales Price: Down 43.4% for October; down 17.8% YTD.

  • Percent of List Price Received: Essentially flat.

  • Days on Market: Down 82.7% for October and down 54.9% YTD.

  • Inventory: Up significantly to 74 units.

  • Months Supply: Jumped 123.5% to 7.6 months.

Takeaway:
Snowmass condo inventory is building while buyer demand cools, creating a more pronounced shift toward a buyer’s market. Competitive pricing and strong presentation will be key for sellers.

Final Thoughts

Across the valley, the market continues to normalize from the ultra-heated pace of prior years. Inventory is rising in some segments, days on market are increasing, and buyers are gaining negotiating power—especially in higher-priced or more saturated categories. At the same time, demand remains strong for well-priced, well-located homes and particularly for Basalt’s condo/townhome market and Snowmass single-family homes.
