Anomalies are expected in locations as unique as Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. For example, the median price of homes in Pitkin County has actually increased unlike most counties nationwide. That’s according to Cyberhomes, an online real estate information portal. Cyberhomes showed that median home values in Pitkin County increased 9.72% in February over the same month last year, equating to a median price of $1,052,122.
Pitkin County wasn’t alone in a county that saw its median price increase, nor did it show the largest increase. There were 24 counties across the nation where home values were holding steady or actually rising from a year ago. Pitkin County came out at fourth with Morgan County, Tenn.; Rock Island, Ill.; and St. Louis, Mo taking first, second and third.
A large group of Aspen’s second homeowners are from California. Now, a “local” Aspenite has found a home in California. Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger came to Aspen in March on a work/leisure trip, and went home with a BIG memento.

Aspen Highlands Patrol Dogs
March is historically the snowiest month for Colorado, but 2009 is seeing a lot of white stuff dumping in April. Starting out with 10″ as of 11am on Apri 1st (no foolin’), Aspen Skiing Company is betting that Aspen and Snowmass will continue to see huge amounts of snow fall. In response, Aspen Highlands ski area will re-open for the weekends of April 18-19 and 25-26 after the mountain’s final day on Sunday, April 5th.
There is not a better place for spring skiing than Aspen and Snowmass Village, Colorado. The sun is out, the sky is blue and the powder is deep. This year is even better since local lodging companies have discounted rates starting at $89/night! Check out Stay Aspen Snowmass for more details.
