Strong Q3 Boosts Overall Activity in Eagle County
After a slower start to the traditional selling season this summer, August and September were very active in the Eagle County market with unit sales up almost 7% in Q3 compared to 2024 and dollar volume up 8.4% from last year. The quarter’s activity helped bring 2025 closer in-line with 2024 numbers with overall residential unit sales down just 9% compared to a year ago while dollar volume is up 6.3% from this time in 2024.
Aside from the resorts and luxury properties, macroeconomic factors continue to weigh on the balance of the market. Although interest rates have stabilized (and for a period dropped sharply), momentum in the local and bedroom communities remains sluggish. Pricing in these markets is a vital factor in successful sales as buyers continue to analyze home values from many perspectives (location, condition, and of course, price). The harried state of the market and higher values have been replaced with a more pragmatic, predictable, and balanced landscape.
It’s a naturally quiet time in the valley and the market. Though some buyers are still active to acquire their home for the upcoming winter season, this is generally a good time to evaluate your position in the market.
