What this comparison establishes

The analysis compares the published January-August 2025 and January-August 2026 aggregates for Woody Creek, Colorado, using the property category shown in the tables. Inventory and months supply retain their separate August reporting frame.

The public PDF supplies aggregate results rather than the underlying transaction file. It supports reproducible arithmetic and descriptive comparisons. It does not support a causal explanation, a like-for-like appreciation estimate or an address-specific value. The companion article develops the practical questions raised by these findings.

Methodology

  • Use the official Aspen/Glenwood Springs MLS Inc. August 2026 Local Market Update, current September 3, 2026.
  • Transcribe the Woody Creek single-family table and compare its January-through-August 2025 and 2026 values.
  • Calculate the displayed percentage change as (2026 minus 2025) divided by 2025, rounded to one decimal. Retain the report's separate August inventory and months-supply measures.

Limitations

  • This is a very small aggregate public MLS series, not an appraisal, forecast, causal analysis, or full Roaring Fork market measure.
  • Median prices do not account for seller concessions and/or down payment assistance, as stated in the source.
  • Inventory is an August snapshot while sales values are year-to-date. With five 2026 sales, a small number of transactions can shift results substantially.
