With winter right around the corner, the snow will soon be piling up in resort town and Aspen neighbor, Snowmass Village, Colorado. What’s not piling up in Snowmass? Inventory.
Popularity for the small ski town exploded during the pandemic, with brokerages like Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate seeing the number of sales in Snowmass Village close to double from 2019 to 2021, according to their 2022 Q3 Market Report.
In response, developers like East West Partners are green-lighting several sizable luxury projects, with some already under construction and on the market.
Snowmass village in Colorado is perfectly located for all kinds of winter activities.
However, many of these new luxury developments are selling out quickly and at high price points, says Rod Woelfle of Slifer Smith & Frampton, proving that the appetite for new construction in Snowmass Village is still vigorous and outpacing supply.
“Inventory is definitely low and has been for some time. When you look at the history of our projects, they have proven to be extremely successful—projects like One Snowmass, One Snowmass Residence Club and Electric Pass Lodge all selling out and selling out fast.”
Check out these new luxury developments coming to Snowmass Village.

The Cirque X Viceroy offers a hotel like setting but with the added luxury of ownership.

Wide open windows look out onto the slopes from inside the residence.
