Reframing resort real estate

A Look at Trends in Telluride & other Colorado Mountain Markets

Talk to anyone looking to buy or sell a home and they’ll tell you they have apprehensions. There are many negative headlines circulating about the real estate market and economy in general right now. While the market has undergone significant changes over the last few months, one mustn’t forget that comparing today’s market to that of 2020 and 2021 is unfair and unrealistic. That time was a fluke in our nation’s history of real estate. And compared to pre-pandemic times, the current real estate market remains strong in Colorado’s resort towns. Let’s examine the driving economic forces our current market and successful strategies for the months ahead.

The real hero of the strong real estate market in Colorado’s resort towns has been home prices. Years of limited inventory and high demand have pushed home prices up and kept the market strong despite the number of transactions being down significantly from 2021, albeit transactions are above pre-pandemic levels of 2019. When taking a look at the total sales volume year-to-date, the market is slightly down from last year, however, high sales prices hide the fact that fewer homes and condos have been sold so far this year.

As Peggy Raible, Vice President and Managing Broker for LIV Sotheby’s International Realty’s Telluride offices, said “After 2021, when our market saw record-breaking demand, 2022 was about normalization. However, the broader perspective clearly shows Telluride’s 2022 sales volume significantly outperforming prepandemic years of 2019, 2018 and 2017.”

“Over the past three years, the market has changed, and our lives have changed. People are prioritizing their lifestyle.”

Why Have Home Prices Remained Strong?

With the location of Telluride set in a box canyon within the San Juan Mountains, bordered by the Uncompahgre National Forest, and surrounded by 13,000- and 14,000- foot peaks, there is a finite amount of land for building, which inherently constrains supply. This unique setting also creates the ultimate lifestyle that people continue to seek out.

As Dan Fitchett, President of Colorado Resort Markets at LIV Sotheby’s International Realty states, “Over the past three years, the market has changed, and our lives have changed. People are prioritizing

their lifestyle, Colorado’s resort communities offer open space and recreation, and they are wonderful towns to raise families. Coupled with low inventory, this has kept home values strong.” This continued demand is in part due to the mountain lifestyle offered in communities like Telluride. With world-class skiing, expansive wilderness space, and a relaxed escape from city life, Telluride provides an exceptional experience that’s very attractive to buyers.

According to data in a recent article on housing trends from Bankrate, one analyst believes that the lower inventory will keep the market from slowing too much. “Seasonality plays an important role in the housing market, since it has an impact on housing demand and supply,” says Nadia Evangelou, senior economist and director of forecasting for the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Dennis Shirshikov, head of content at the real estate investment site Awning adds, “The only exception appears to be traditionally strong vacation rental markets, which have seen significant appreciation and resilience because of very low inventory levels.”

This drop in inventory has resulted in very short days on market in some of Colorado’s resort communities. For instance, Mountain Village had an average of 109 days on market January through September 2022, down 52% from 227 in 2021. The Town of Telluride saw an average of 93 days on market, down 31% when compared to January through September 2021, according to LIV Sotheby’s International Realty’s Micro Market Reports. Long renowned for its ski resort and winter activities, Telluride has become a year-round destination with a plethora of festivals and outdoor recreation opportunities to choose from in the spring, summer, and fall, enticing more buyers to purchase second homes in the region.

“While the market moves toward pre-pandemic trends, we are not seeing the return of higher days on market.”

Real Estate as an Investment Vehicle

As equity markets experience high volatility, cash buyers are turning to real estate as a more stable investment vehicle, resulting in strong demand for luxury properties in Colorado’s high-country communities.

Second-home buyers are seeing their homes not only as attractive investment options with historic stability and appreciation, but also as an asset they can enjoy while they ride out market fluctuation. Fitchett states “You can’t sleep in your investment portfolio, but you can build family memories, enjoy ski vacations, and create a legacy in your home while realizing an increase in its value.”

Many buyers are deciding to purchase and hold on to their vacation homes for at least 5-7 years, so they can enjoy everything that the mountains have to offer and safeguard against a potential shortterm leveling-off of price. Since ski resorts began opening across Colorado several decades ago, real estate has been a sound investment with prices continually increasing.

“As inflation rates rise, and developed markets continue to debase their currency, luxury real estate could be an attractive hedge and a way to get out of paper money,” says Jonathan Woloshin, head of real estate and financials research, UBS Wealth Management.

As visitors from Texas, Chicago, Florida, and California fall in love with the mountain way of life, they look at homes in these communities as an investment and a place for their families to build memories for generations.

Cash Transactions Unaffected by Rate Hikes

Demand for the housing market continues to be healthy, particularly in the luxury second-home segment. Although the total share of mortgage rate locks for all second homes fell below pre-pandemic levels, this was in large part due to the median-to-lower end of the housing market. In addition, more than 50 percent of second-home buyers pay in all cash. For this reason, looking simply at second-home mortgage rate lock data is not the best indicator of true U.S. second home sales based on a recent article by Inman News.

With so many luxury property transactions taking place in cash, there is some innate immunity to the effects of rate

hikes. Overall transactions have declined between 20-30% depending on the market, but cash transactions are only down 8-9%. One example is the recent cash sale of a Gilded Age property in New York City as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The 20,000 square foot mansion on Fifth Avenue was once owned by a member of the Vanderbilt family and hadn’t changed ownership in 76 years. The buyer is a businessman based in London who was represented by Sotheby’s International Realty. It’s interesting to note that the buyer did not tour the property overlooking Central Park prior to closing, reminiscent of sight-unseen purchases during the frenzied multiple-offer sales of 2021.

Nuances of Buying and Selling Homes in Telluride Now

“As we find our new cadence, a normalizing market offers better opportunity for both buyers and sellers,” Raible advises, “particularly when they are partnered with a competent and experienced broker who understands the subtleties and nuances of our stabilizing market. It’s important to note that while the market moves toward pre-pandemic trends, we are not seeing the return of higher days on market.

Low inventory combined with shorter days on market still makes conditions challenging for buyers. The peak weeks of ski season, holidays, and spring break schedules mean that all buyers are on similar timelines. Often buyers are trying to view homes after a day on the slopes and before dinner, and this compressed schedule will be evermore felt with reduced inventory this winter. Serious buyers will need to set time aside, especially when new homes come on the market.

Given the short days on market, it’s important to launch your home properly and priced correctly from the start. “It’s more important than ever to align yourself with a trusted advisor and be ready to act,” according to Raible. A savvy local broker who is familiar with the micro-markets within each community can help advise buyers and sellers on the appropriate price points for listing and for offers. Since first impressions are imperative to success, prioritizing home improvements to make the home appealing to potential buyers can be key. Another option is to create virtual renderings or tours of older properties, so potential buyers can visualize remodel possibilities and older homes will showcase in the best possible light.

Now more than ever, knowledge of the local real estate market is crucial, so all parties are informed about nuances in this everchanging marketplace. Since metrics of different areas within a town or neighborhood can vary widely, it is important that buyers and sellers are armed with accurate data from a trusted broker professional. With the guidance of a skilled real estate broker who has been through various ups and downs of the housing market, you can reach your lifestyle, financial, and real estate goals.

“You can’t sleep in your investment portfolio, but you can build family memories, enjoy ski vacations, and create a legacy in your home while realizing an increase in its value.”

Sotheby’s Auction House

Discussing the evolution of the luxury auction house

Since 1744, Sotheby’s has been the premier destination for buying and selling the finest art, exceptional jewels, and highly coveted items ranging from Michael Jordan’s gameworn jerseys to rare cars. Each year, the auction house hosts more than 600 auctions across its network of auction houses in 40 different countries. As one of the global authorities in the luxury space, Sotheby’s Auction House knows a thing or two about curating one-of-a-kind experiences and maintaining its brand’s legacy amidst the changing economic, generational, and societal trends.

LIV Sotheby’s International Realty had a conversation with Josh Pullan, Sotheby’s Auction House’s Head of Global Luxury Division, to learn more about the future of this long-standing luxury icon, what makes Sotheby’s such a trusted brand, and how it’s adapted to its centuries-old identity to meet today’s consumer expectations.

Sotheby’s Auction House’s Head of Global Luxury Division

Considering the shifts our culture has undergone in the past 200 years, Sotheby’s has experienced various evolutions to keep up with the latest trends and buyer preferences.

“The Sotheby’s brand is universally known and has a rich and deep heritage of 277 years, but it is also a business that has never stopped adapting, changing, and innovating throughout its long history,” said Pullan. “We

are constantly looking to innovate, foresee new trends, and pre-empt collectors’ demands.”

The brand was the first in its industry to shift to hybrid and live stream auction formats, which launched in June of 2020. These new offerings, combined with in-person experiences enhanced with state-of-the-art technology, have dramatically expanded access to an unprecedented number of participants, helping Sotheby’s deliver its best first-half performance to date reaching $4.3 billion in sales.

One of these nuances to the brand’s selection of auction experiences is the Sotheby’s App. Through this mobile app, collectors can discover extraordinary art and objects more easily, place bids from anywhere in the world, and receive real-time notifications about items of interest.

Much of these changes are being driven by the generational shift in wealth. Millennials

now have a lot of buying power and this is influencing what is being bought and sold and the way in which brands are marketing those items.

“We are definitely seeing a younger demographic participating in auctions throughout our business, but particularly in our luxury sector where Sotheby’s youngest clients are to be found. There are over 40% more bidders under 40 in our luxury sales than in the fine art side of the business. Also, digital art — NFTs — perhaps inevitably skew toward the younger generations who live more of their lives digitally. Last year 78% of NFT buyers were under 40,” noted Pullan.

This next generation is fueling sales in categories such as handbags and accessories and streetwear and modern collectibles. Both categories are sold almost exclusively online and are where Sotheby’s has the highest proportion of new and younger bidders and buyers. Anticipating trends, reacting to preference shifts, and aligning itself with the latest currents in consumer interests is how Sotheby’s has maintained its status as one of the most well-respected leaders in the luxury space.

“Sotheby’s is absolutely focused on adding value to our clients and providing them with the type of services they want and need. The core of our success with our clients

Josh Pullan

“We are constantly looking to innovate, foresee new trends, and pre-empt collectors demands.”

is our relationships, trust, and specialist knowledge,” Pullan said.

But even giants such as Sotheby’s can feel the effects of the changing economic environment. As the economy on the global scale continues to self-correct and return to a pre-pandemic state of “normal,” the waves of inflation are rippling into nearly every facet of the buying and selling experience. However, similarly to how investing in a home can help safeguard your money from inflation, so too can investing in fine art and high-value items.

“The market is global, and generally art is a good hedge for inflation and currency weakness. As a category, it has performed well in the past several decades and has outpaced inflation quite significantly over a long period of time.” Pullan went on to say,

“At the moment, we are continuing to see a strong and resilient market for art and luxury lifestyle. For instance, in August RM Sotheby’s broke world records, bringing in $239.2 million at its flagship auction at Monterey 2022, selling more than all other Monterey auctions combined.”

This example helps illustrate the strong desire of consumers to spend their hardearned money on things that inspire them, connect with them, and help them invest in themselves and their future. Just as LIV

Sotheby’s International Realty helps its clients and communities write their next chapter through buying and selling homes that represent their own definition of paradise, Sotheby’s guides clients toward their happy place by assisting in the curation of pieces that mean the most to them.

Pullan commented, “Throughout our long history we have promoted access to and ownership of the most exceptional art and luxury objects. Our vision remains to be the leading and most trusted global marketplace for art, luxury, and lifestyle.”

Mountain Village

Founded in 1986 and incorporated in 1996, the town of Mountain Village was inspired by the ski villages of Europe, with a center comprised of cobblestone plazas, architecture suggestive of the Alps, and a vibe that is at once elegant and friendly. The town sits amidst the Telluride Ski Resort at around 9,500 feet above sea level and consists of over 2,100 acres of land. Full-time residents number around 1,300. The town offers a mix of condominiums, fractional ownership (condos and homes), residential homes, sprawling mountain retreats and developable lots.

The town’s hub, the Village Center, is home to a variety of restaurants and stores, as well as office space, luxury hotels, homes and condominiums. Residences that dot the center are considered welllocated with ski in/ski out access and proximity to the Gondola with Station Mountain Village connecting riders to downtown Telluride. The resort’s main offices, ticket offices, ski and snowboard school, nursery and more are based in the Village Center.

Away from the charming Village Center, wooded boulevards wind up and around the ski resort. In the area adjacent to Lift 10-served terrain, San Joaquin Road and Benchmark Drive are winding streets with a mix of condominiums, townhomes, sprawling estate residences and yet-to-be-developed lots. Ski runs weave around these neighborhoods, providing immediate access to the slopes. North and west of this area includes stretches of the Telluride Golf Club, as well as Adams Ranch Road, Double Eagle Drive and Russell Drive, where many of the homes sit alongside the golf course or high-alpine meadows. The more open, expansive terrain here translates into stunning views of the surrounding peaks.

The Town of Mountain Village has a well-thought-out Comprehensive Plan that recognizes the importance of space, tranquility and extraordinary views and seeks to protect these qualities while promoting Mountain Village’s sense of community. Lots have been carefully planned to give owners the best access to the ski resort, balancing this with privacy, quiet and views.

Town of Telluride

The charming town of Telluride, designated a National Historic Landmark District, sits snugly near the end of a picturesque box canyon surrounded by majestic 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks. Just a mile and a half long and six blocks wide, the town has a population of approximately 2,200. Downtown is a menagerie of colorful Victorian homes, delectable restaurants, independent boutiques, art galleries, outfitters and more, and includes iconic structures like the Nugget Theatre and the San Miguel County Courthouse.

In Telluride, nothing is ever more than a 10-minute stroll away, whether you are walking or biking. In winter, access to the slopes is easy: Lifts 7 and 8 and the Gondola are all based in town, just a few easy blocks from main street, and the Galloping Goose buses are outfitted with racks for skis and snowboards. The nationally recognized Wilkinson Public Library, Telluride’s two school buildings, and the much-loved Town Park, with its ballfields, playgrounds, festival stage, pool, ice rinks and skate park are all located within the Town of Telluride.

Homes in Telluride range in size and style from quaint, carefully restored Victorians to modern homes designed to take advantage of the stunning views and Colorado’s 300-plus days of sunshine per year. Opportunities exist to find single-family homes a stone’s throw from main street that offer jaw-dropping views of the northern flanks of the ski resort, of Ajax peak, which looms over the end of the box canyon, or into stunning Bear Creek Canyon. In the east end of the box canyon, the lot sizes are bigger and the keywords in this neighborhood are serenity, silence and scenery. Town is approaching build-out and vacant lots are rare.

Telluride has approximately 45 condominium complexes scattered througout town and along the San Miguel River. Residences range in variety and size from lift-side studios to downtown penthouses with decks that overlook main street and and feature spectacular views,

Telluride Region

Within 10 miles of Telluride and Mountain Village are a variety of neighborhoods that offer additional privacy and serenity, as well as gorgeous views and regular wildlife sightings, including Aldasoro Ranch, Gray Head, Last Dollar, Sunnyside, (all located on Deep Creek Mesa); and Elk Run, Raspberry Patch, Ski Ranches, The Preserve, and West Meadows (all located on Turkey Creek Mesa). These wide-open areas feature building sites that range from 1 to 35+ acres. Each subdivision typically has its own homeowners’ association and guidelines, and many offer additional amenities.

The region is home to several stunning, sundrenched mesas that offer serenity, expansive vistas and wildlife, making for an idyllic Western lifestyle. Most of these properties are a 30- to 45-minute drive away from the two towns on a combination of well-maintained roads. There are historic ranches that were homesteaded by early settlers, and other ranchlands that have been subdivided into parcels of 35 acres or less. Most of the subdivisions have been developed with electricity, gas, tele-communications and offer both resale homes and the opportunity to build a dream Western retreat. The region’s mesas include Hastings, Horsefly/Iron Springs, Specie, Sunshine and Wilson.

Two outlying towns that offer community living and slightly warmer winters are Norwood and Ridgway. Norwood, about a 40-minute drive from Telluride, offers large-acreage parcels in addition to a quaint western downtown. Often referred to as the “Gateway to the San Juans”, Ridgway, is set in the Uncompahgre Valley. It’s a close-knit community with a picture-perfect downtown, several subdivisions, plus properties on adjacent Log Hill Mesa. Nearby towns include Ouray, 10 miles away, and Montrose, 25 miles away.

Heading south there are a number of mountain towns and subdivisions including the tiny, historic town of Ophir, the community of Trout Lake, and the former mining town of Rico. Heading further south is the 38-mile long Dolores River valley which culminates in the town of Dolores.
