Our source-linked research report includes the tables, aggregate data download and calculation notes. The analysis uses the official August 2026 Aspen/Glenwood Springs MLS Local Market Update, comparing January-August 2026 with the same months of 2025 and keeping August supply measures separate.

Twelve more sales and twelve fewer available listings

Carbondale townhouse/condominium closed sales increased by 12, from 27 to 39, or 44.4%, in matching January-August periods. August inventory decreased by 12, from 26 to 14, or 46.2%. The equal absolute differences are a coincidence across different measures and time frames, not evidence that the same 12 properties moved from one count to the other.

Year-to-date new listings declined from 52 to 46, while reported August months supply fell from 7.4 to 2.8. Together these figures support a more detailed description than either the inventory count or sales count would supply alone.

The median moved much less than activity

The reported median rose from $872,625 to $895,000, an increase of $22,375 or 2.6%. That modest median change occurred alongside much larger percentage changes in sales and inventory. The metrics use different denominators and should not be treated as equivalent measures of price pressure.

The aggregate category combines townhouses and condominiums. It does not show whether the properties sold had the same mix of location, size, age, condition or association obligations. The median is therefore a transaction midpoint, not a repeat-sales value index.

Less inventory did not mean a shorter reported marketing period

Days on market until sale increased from 97 to 116, an additional 19 days or 19.6%. This completed-sale statistic covers January through August; the inventory snapshot refers to August. Their different timing and populations matter when interpreting the results.

For a specific unit, inspect the currently available alternatives and recent comparable transactions in the relevant development or category. The inventory decline may help organize that search, but it does not guarantee a shorter marketing period, a particular offer response or future price growth.
