Aspen Rising On The Real Estate Market Once Again

After the financial recession of 2013, the Aspen real estate has started to recover as membership in the Aspen Board of Realtors have stabilized. Furthermore, Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas' Aspen property has been listed for sale.

As reported by Aspen Times, the real estate industry of the state experienced a downfall, especially during the 2013 financial recession. During such time, the members of the Aspen Board of Realtors declined as investors found it to be a highly risky market due to the decline in the economy.

As Michael Adams, a partner in B.J. Adams & Co. stated, "There was no way for most of the people in the industry to make a living," which indicated that the market at that time was not so profitable. As a consequence, a lot of the real estate agents found other means to put their efforts rather than in Aspen's real estate market.

However, since this year, the number of members in the said board has started to rise once again as properties in the area have also started to be purchased more quickly than last year. One of the increasing improvements was the instance that pockets of the Roaring Fork Valley market have risen up, that also resulted to the rising number of members in the Aspen Board of Realtors which reached 660 from 643 from last year.

In fact, the president of the board, Tory Thomas, concluded, "I would have thought a lot more would have been coming in. I don't think you're seeing the same proliferation that we did before the recession."

Given this, the real estate agents have also regained their confidence in the Aspen market. In fact, LA Times reported that a profitable listing in the area popped up just recently.

Actors and former husband and wife Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas have listed their Aspen property valued at $9.9 million. Also, if no one would purchase it, it would be available for lease at $65,000 per month.

The mountain retreated occupies 12.3 acres of wooded land that also has its very own ski run. With glass walls that give breathtaking views, a gorgeous fireplace, vaulted ceilings, eat-in kitchen, a billiards room, several patios, decks, a fire pit area and a wine cellar or wine tasting area, this stylish and coyzy property would be the best one to purchase in the area's real estate market to date.

With the rise of real estate agents coming into the Aspen real estate market, the gorgeous home of Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith are signs that the state's market is back in business.
