Aspen is currently experiencing a buyer's market the likes of which it has never seen before. The inventory of available properties is at an all time high, meaning the possibility of finding that dream property has never been better.

While the exclusivity of the Aspen market means it does not experience the total drop out in prices that some areas see, it also means that an investment is strong and will likely show improvement ahead of the curve of the national real estate market.

In the past, a low opening offer would be a turn-off for sellers in Aspen. But in today's market, sellers are very flexible, and much more amenable to working with all buyers that come their way. There are plenty of relative bargains to be found in the Aspen area now.
