New Report Analyzes More Than $24 Billion in Real Estate Sales Across Leading Resort Destinations
Denver, Colo. March 17, 2026 – Majestic Realty Collective has released its 2026 Resort Report, offering a comprehensive look at real estate trends across top resort destinations across Colorado including Aspen/Snowmass, Crested Butte, Summit County, Telluride, the Vail Valley, and Winter Park. Locales throughout the Mountain West including Park City, Deer Valley, Jackson Hole, Lake Tahoe, and Sun Valley are also covered.
New features in the Resort Report this year include market data and localized tips in each region, luxury resort real estate trends, an international spotlight on the Dolomites of Italy, and details on global ski passes.
The 2026 Resort Report highlights a year of continued resilience across resort markets following several years of unprecedented growth. In 2025, more than $24 billion in total real estate volume was sold, with homes averaging 90 days on market, an increase of approximately 5% year over year as buyers took a more measured approach. Meanwhile, across these resort regions, the average sold price climbed to $1.8 million.
“Resort communities continue to lead one of the most significant lifestyle migrations we’re seeing in real estate today,” said Thomas Wright, President and Chief Operating Officer of Majestic Realty Collective. “Ski and mountain properties consistently demonstrate enduring value because they represent far more than housing; they represent a way of life. By comparing market data and intelligence from across the global Sotheby’s International Realty network, this report reflects our brand at work. We’re delivering the insight and perspective today’s luxury clientele deserve and expect.”
Shannel Ryan, President of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty in Colorado, adds “Amid a season of more measured visitation, Colorado’s resort markets continue to show underlying strength, as pricing stability and intentional demand reaffirm the enduring appeal of owning in world-class mountain communities.”
Key Takeaways:
- California and Nevada: Luxury sales peaked in South Lake Tahoe in June 2025 with over $95M in sales volume in less than 30 days. Properties in North Lake Tahoe with no price adjustments sold four times faster than those with at least one price adjustment.
- Colorado: Average days on market increased across many resort regions in Colorado as buyers took time to make decisions. Total sales volume in the Vail Valley was above $2 billion for the sixth straight year, and Telluride continued to see buyers prioritize location, lifestyle, and architectural distinction.
- Idaho: New construction is a key driver in Sandpoint with nearly 40% increases in sales from 2024. Sun Valley has driven significant growth with 188 active listings as of January 2026 and Idaho ranking among the fastest growing states.
- Montana: Inventory remains limited in Big Sky while inventory in Whitefish has increased, causing buyers to take more time in homebuying decisions.
- New Mexico: In Santa Fe, the market is on track to see an 11% increase in active listings, providing more options to buyers.
- Utah: Resort communities continue to demonstrate strong demand, particularly in the Greater Park City area. The average sold price increased more than 24% year over year to approximately $2.53 million, while total sales volume rose more than 26%, reflecting continued buyer confidence in the region.
- Wyoming: Jackson Hole saw record high-end sales activity as the median home sale price rose 25% and properties listed at $5 million or more generated nearly two-thirds of total market dollar volume.
Even as transaction volumes fluctuate from market to market, the report notes that the long-term fundamentals supporting resort real estate remain strong. Continued infrastructure investment, evolving resort amenities and the enduring appeal of mountain living continue to attract buyers seeking both lifestyle and long-term value.
