As we close out 2025, the San Miguel County real estate market is best described as normalized, resilient, and increasingly selective – a healthy transition from the extraordinary conditions of the post-pandemic years.
Total sales volume for the year reached $868.3M across 448 transactions, modestly below 2024 levels, but well within historical norms and closely aligned with 2023 activity. Rather than signaling a decline in demand, this shift reflects a market that has returned to fundamentals: disciplined buyers, realistic sellers, and pricing driven by quality rather than urgency.

“In an election year it is common that real estate sales slow down. Reports from Jackson Hole, Yellowstone Club, Vail, Crested Butte and Sun Valley are that sales have slowed. In recent years that was attributed to a lack of inventory, but today, inventories have increased in these locations. These markets appear to be stabilizing and returning to previous market conditions where buyers and sellers may be on more even ground.”

The tailwinds of the pandemic market that resulted in a scarcity of inventory in 2023 are in the rear-view mirror, even though demand remained relatively strong. The first six months of 2023 witnessed a decline of 25% in gross dollar sales while retail residential prices remained stable, except for the Mountain Village wherein the average home price increased 48%. This sector of the market possessed more inventory with investors most likely recognizing better value plays. During the first 6-month period of 2024, new inventory entered the market resulting in a 21% increase in gross dollar sales ($507.8M vs. $419.7M). During this period Village values remained stable with Town of Telluride witnessing a 12% increase in single-family values and 10% in condo values. Thus, comparing mid-year data (2023 vs. 2024) it is apparent that demand has remained stable and gross dollar production is largely dependent upon availability of inventory. On a positive note, if sales accomplished in the single-family and condominium markets continue at their respective paces, we have approximately 25% more unit availability for the latter half of 2024 vs 2023.”

If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for prices to retreat, the trend is not great; as a rule, year over year values and prices continue to rise. Historically low inventory, increasing demand and marquee development like the Four Seasons Hotel & Residences portend more of the same for this year and the near future. In spite of only 16 more transactions year over year, the first quarter of 2024 Telluride experienced an uptick of 46% in Total Dollar Volume vs 2023. As a consequence, the average sale price in our market is up 26% year over year. Sales over $5 million have increased 50% year over year as the upper-end of our market carries the day despite persistently high interest rates which may be impacting the lower end of the market. Ultimately, Sellers continue to maintain control in a market driven by low supply and consistent demand in a highly desirable community.
Despite this seller control, it remains critical to price properties well. With a limited amount of inventory, it has become more of an art than a science and getting it right is complicated. This makes working with a sophisticated advisor in the Telluride market that much more important.”

In 2023, the prevailing theme for the Telluride Real Estate market was one of scarcity. Scarcity that emboldened Sellers and left many Buyers scratching their heads, even in the face of macroeconomic softening. The simple fact in Telluride is that we still have a significant lack of inventory for a consistent and even growing demand base. Consequently, Telluride area real estate values have largely returned
to a steady rate of overall appreciation similar to pre-pandemic trends. The numbers bear this out: in 2023, San Miguel County’s total dollar volume was up 31% over 2019, despite 18% fewer transactions.

Other than the Great Recession, we have not seen significant market declines, as evidenced by an analysis of Telluride & Mountain Village median home prices over the past 30 years. Given constrained supply and rapidly increasing demand, our property values grew almost 100% in the most desirable segments
of the Town of Telluride and Mountain Village during the Covid-Era. In 2023, we’ve transitioned to a more balanced market, yet average sale prices have continued to rise in comparison to 2022, with an increase of 13% in Telluride and 25% in Mountain Village.
