Serving Aspen, CO

Mortgage Broker
in Aspen, CO

Aspen is a world-class ski town and second-home market with some of the highest home prices in Colorado. We help you plan financing where nearly every loan touches jumbo or super-jumbo territory.

The Aspen Market

A premier ski town
with ultra-luxury pricing and long timelines.

Redfin describes the Aspen housing market as not very competitive. In March 2026, the median sale price was about $4.9M, up 14.0 percent year over year, and homes sold in around 112 days on average compared with 153 days a year earlier.

The median sale price per square foot was about $3,009, down 3.8 percent year over year. There were 16 homes sold in March 2026, up from 9 a year earlier — still low volume, but a meaningful increase at very high price points. Sub-markets like Downtown Aspen and the Aspen Historic District often record even higher medians and per-foot prices, with typical days-on-market in the 100 to 150 day range.

Who We Help

Common loan scenarios in Aspen

We work with high-net-worth buyers, second-home owners, investors, and family offices who need financing to cooperate with complex balance sheets — not fight them.

Second Homes & Vacation Properties

We compare jumbo fixed and ARM options and structure reserves around your broader asset base, not just this one property.

Luxury Primary Residences

We design loans that incorporate variable income, K-1s, and equity comp for buyers making Aspen a primary home.

Investors & Short-Term Rentals

We model cash flow with realistic occupancy and regulation assumptions in a heavily regulated resort market.

Trusts, Entities & Complex Ownership

We help structure financing when properties are owned or acquired via LLCs, partnerships, or trusts.

Refinance & Recapitalization

We evaluate whether refinancing, cash-out, or portfolio restructuring makes sense given Aspen's price and rate environment.

Bridge & Cross-Collateral Strategies

We coordinate cross-collateralized or bridge solutions when upgrading or trading between Aspen-area properties.
