The average sales price of a single-family home in Aspen in 2025 was $17.3 million, an Aspen Board of Realtors report shows. 

The median home price in Aspen last year — or the middle value of all homes sold — was several million less than the average, at $13.2 million. Median sales are a more reliable indicator of what the typical home sells for because they aren’t skewed by extreme outliers.

Real estate prices in Aspen have soared over the past decade. Last year’s median was more than double Aspen’s $5.8 million median home price in 2015, while the median price of condos and townhouses in 2025, $3.5 million, was nearly three times the median price of $1.2 million a decade earlier. 

Statewide, the median sale price for single-family homes was $584,000 in 2025, compared with $285,000 in 2015.
