San Miguel County continued to show a familiar 2026 theme in April: fewer transactions, but stronger dollar volume. April closed with 37 sales totaling $70.36 million, down 12% in number of sales from April 2025, yet up 24% in dollar volume. That spread suggests buyers remain selective, but when they do transact, they are doing so at meaningfully higher price points. April’s average transaction size was approximately $1.9 million, compared with roughly $1.35 million last April, reinforcing that the market is being carried more by quality and upper-end activity than by broad-based volume.
Year to date, the market is ahead of last year in dollars but behind in pace.

Through April, San Miguel County recorded
$267.42 million in total sales volume, up 13% from the same period in 2025, while the 134 total sales are down 9%.
Compared with the 2021-2026 average, however, the market is still running below the recent benchmark: year-to-date dollar volume is 21% below average, and the number of sales is 32% below average. In other words, 2026 is improving off last year’s quieter start, but it remains a lower-velocity market than the post-2020 cycle average.

For Telluride and Mountain Village, the broader takeaway is that our market remains deeply tied to confidence, liquidity, and lifestyle-driven demand. We are not insulated from larger forces such as stock market volatility, inflation, interest rates, energy prices, travel costs, and geopolitical uncertainty, because those factors influence the wealth effect and the timing of discretionary purchases. The first impact in a resort market like ours is often not an immediate change in values, but a change in behavior: buyers take longer to decide, underwriting becomes more conservative, negotiations become more thoughtful, and transaction volume softens before pricing meaningfully adjusts.
At the same time, limited supply, global appeal, and a financially capable buyer base continue to support well-positioned properties, especially those that meet today’s expectations for quality, location, and long-term value.
