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.
A premier ski town
with ultra-luxury pricing and long timelines.
Redfin describes the Aspen housing market as not very competitive. Over the three months ending July 2026, the median sale price was about $1.8M, down 38.1 percent from the same period a year earlier, and homes sold in around 152 days on average compared with 82 days a year earlier.
The median sale price per square foot was about $2,470, down 28.9 percent year over year. There were 45 homes sold in July 2026, up from 41 a year earlier. In a market this small, a handful of closings can swing the median dramatically, so these figures say more about which homes traded than about any single property's value. Homes sold for about 91.5 percent of list price on average, and only 2.3 percent of sales closed above list.
“Aspen is a relationship and strategy market, not a rate-sheet market.”

Why Aspen feels like
a world unto itself.
A rebuilt airport on the calendar, construction under way on the Lumberyard workforce housing project, and a transformed Lift One corridor show Aspen investing in itself even as sales medians swing.
After voters backed the financing in late 2025, the city broke ground in spring 2026 on the Lumberyard affordable housing project, its largest workforce housing effort in years.
In 2026 Pitkin County advanced a new terminal design for the Aspen airport and set 2027 closure dates for a full runway reconstruction, a generational upgrade to how the valley connects to the world.
Construction is under way near historic Lift 1A, pairing a new lift alignment with lodging investment that will change how skiers reach Aspen Mountain from town.
“Aspen rewards buyers who pair the mortgage with a broader wealth plan, not just a purchase transaction.”
Aspen mortgage FAQs
What is the typical Aspen price point?+
For the three months ending July 2026, the median sale price was about $1.8M with median price per square foot near $2,470, still among the highest in Colorado. Medians swing widely here because so few homes trade in any given month.
How long do Aspen homes take to sell?+
Typical timelines run around 152 days on market, up from 82 a year earlier, and average homes go pending in around 128 days. Patience is part of the strategy here.
Are Aspen loans always jumbo?+
Almost always. At these medians, nearly every loan falls into jumbo or super-jumbo territory even with large down payments.
Can I finance a property held in a trust or LLC?+
Often, yes, though the structure affects which lenders will participate. We identify the right partners for entity-owned purchases.
When does refinancing an Aspen property make sense?+
When a new rate, term, or structure clearly improves your long-term position given the size and complexity of the loan.
