Stick Season is in full swing. This is generally a quiet time of year in the Mad River Valley, and we’ve definitely noticed a drop off in real estate activity. We generally start to see things pick up after the holidays.
The market update:
Currently there are 12 single family homes under contract or pending sale in the price range of $175,000 - $2,400,000 (down from 18 last month, and 16 two months ago), four whole-ownership condominiums under contract or pending sale priced from $300,000 - $600,000 (down from 11 last month and six two months ago), four undeveloped land parcel under contract priced from $165,000 - $695,000 (down from nine last month, and six two months ago too), and zero commercial properties under contract (zero last month, and zero two months ago).
Regarding the properties that are currently under contract, 0 of the four condos, three of the 12 single family homes, and two of the four land parcels were listed after October 1, 2025. The number of transactions typically wains this time of year, but active buyers do have their fingers on the pulse of the market and are acting accordingly.
Based on information from PrimeMLS, Inc. for the period 1/1/2025 through 11/14/2025.
There were 15 single family home sales in October 2025 from $455,000 - $2,452,200 (up from six sales in September). There were seven whole-ownership condominium sales from $360,000 - $829,125 (up from three sales in September). There were two undeveloped land sales in October (one sale in September). There were zero commercial sales in October (one sale in September).
Based on information from PrimeMLS, Inc. for the period 10/1/2025 through 10/31/2025.
The current inventory in the Mad River Valley is at 28 single family homes (34 this time last month), there are 27 whole-ownership condominiums (25 this time last month), there are 17 undeveloped land parcels (17 this time last month as well), and five commercial properties (five this time last month too).
As we head into the holiday season we will see real estate activity slow down, likely until after the new year. Consumers are more focused on holiday travel and family obligations, as they should be. After we ring in the new year the real estate market will likely see at least a slight uptick with new and returning visitors to the Mad River Valley for what we hope will be a banner winter season with lots of snow and great skiing, riding, and snowshoeing.
