Eagle County’s real estate market has been on fire since July. That torrid pace means that it only took until Nov. 30 for yearly sales volume to exceed $3 billion for the first time.
Through November, the county’s real estate sales volume is nearly $1 billion ahead of the pace set in 2019. That was the first of three years in the previous decade that the local market had exceeded $2 billion in sales.
Those years marked a full comeback from slower years since the global recession that began in 2008. The market, which had been running at a $2 billion annual clip in the mid-2000s, fell below $1 billion in annual sales in 2009 and had been climbing back ever since.
