Where Smart Buyers Are Putting Their Money in 2025
If you're considering an investment property in Snowmass Village, you're not alone. With rising prices, limited inventory, and growing demand for second homes, Snowmass has become a prime destination for both lifestyle buyers and long-term investors.
As a local Snowmass Village real estate agent, here’s what I’m seeing in today’s market—and where the best opportunities are hiding.
Why it works: These units deliver consistent rental income, high resale value, and effortless access to events, dining, and lifts.
Best for:
Investors seeking strong short-term rental performance
Buyers looking for a turn-key second home with income potential
Recent example:
Cirque Residences and Viceroy units have been trading at $2.5M–$5M, with rental income averaging $10K–$25K+ per month in peak season. Newer units like Stratos offer pre-construction pricing with long-term upside.
Why it works: Lock in today's price before the property is delivered. Appreciation is often baked in, and holding during construction can be a strategic hedge.
Best for:
Long-term investors
Buyers not in a rush to move in
Tax strategists doing 1031 exchanges or phased acquisitions
What to watch:
Stratos Snowmass: ~76% under contract by April 2025. Limited availability.
Future Ullr Lodge condos (watch the Pokolodi redevelopment closely)
Why it works: These properties have land, privacy, and appreciation potential. Ideal for those seeking long-term growth or full-time living.
Best for:
Families relocating to Snowmass
Buyers looking to customize or remodel
Investors focused on long-term equity gains
Recent comp:
A Ridge Run home recently traded at $5.6M after just 19 days on market—up over 30% in three years.
“Can I still find value under $3M?” Yes, but competition is high and timing is everything.
“Are there any off-market opportunities?” Yes—especially among condo owners considering trading up.
“What will rents look like this winter?” We’re forecasting another strong season due to early bookings and low availability.
Whether you're focused on short-term cash flow or long-term appreciation, Snowmass Village real estate remains one of the most resilient markets in Colorado. The key is knowing where to look—and getting in before the next wave of appreciation hits.
