Birdseye View | Crested Butte Market Snapshot | Summer 2025

We discover in the winter and stay for the summers. This is a common view of how people fall in love with our valley and decide to create homes here. We are well known as a ski town, but what really moves our friends to build roots is our summers. We’re proud to introduce the Bird to Bird gravel ride this July, a new event uniting the Gunnison and Crested Butte communities on two wheels.

Our wildflowers, trails and people are the magic. The recent Fourth of July parade was the best ever, with a dog parade, live music and an F-16 flyover. The real estate market is hopping with sales building this year literally from the ground up.

Land sales are increasing again with a 36% jump in closings year to date and an average price over $700,000. Bluebird recently sold three lots in our Augusta Park neighborhood and offers are increasing in our Gunnison Rising development. Entry level homes and condominiums have been a popular choice this year, the average mountain condo selling for over $730,000.

Inventories of all property types have been growing to healthy levels, with more to choose from. Average prices have skewed downward due only to an increase in lower priced property sales. As we grow out of a correcting economy, value oriented properties see the most demand, and higher priced offerings will follow suit.

Bluebird is outpacing the market by a wide margin, with the highest number of available properties and the most sales representing a rarified 25% market share throughout the valley.

With new expansions to our schools, emergency facilities, multi-family housing and infrastructure, our community is positioning well for the future as a beautiful, welcoming and peaceful paradise.
