Real estate back with vengeance
by Janet Urquhart
Aspen Times Staff Writer
Aspen real estate sales topped $555.2
million
in
2003, marking a noticeable turnaround in the
industry
and a record year for some
brokers.
Closings in the final months of last year put 2003
sales up $77.3 million over 2002’s $477.9 million
total, according to figures tallied by the Aspen Board
of Realtors.
In Snowmass Village, overall sales dropped slightly,
from $182.8 million in 2002 to $182.4 million last year.
For the Roaring Fork Valley, from Glenwood Springs to
Aspen, real estate sales totaled $851.5 million in 2003,
up from $767.7 million in 2002.
Aspen sales activity was off to a slow start
last
year, but picked up considerably during the
second
half of 2003, various brokers
reported.
“It was amazing,” said
Rich Wagar,
whose
firm had its second-best year ever.
“The
first
seven months, it looked like it was going to
be
the worst year. It looked bad. It looked
dismal.
