Each month, I unpack the market, to help you see trends and make smarter real estate moves.

🟢 The Good


• Rates ease: Mortgage rates dipped again, giving buyers a small confidence boost.


• Luxury steady: Aspen and Snowmass listings keep moving with tight supply.


• Mid-valley balanced: Basalt and Carbondale remain stable with light price gains.


• Year-end motivation: Serious buyers are acting before winter sets in.

🟡 The Bad


• Affordability squeeze: Prices and payments still outpace wage growth.


• Longer listings: Homes are sitting longer as buyers get picky.


• Seller hesitation: Many owners remain locked into low-rate loans.


• Selective demand: Turnkey and well-priced homes win all the attention.

🔴 The Ugly


• Market freeze: National turnover is at multi-decade lows.


• Winter lull: Miss the November window and you may wait until spring.


• Inspection leverage: Buyers pushing harder on credits and condition.


• Cash dominance: Financed offers keep losing ground to cash buyers.
