Should You Buy a Seasonal Condo in a Place Like Aspen?

Services for Real Estate Pros with YourSiteNeedsMe.com

If you’re like many people, you’ve dreamed of owning a condo in Aspen – not to live here year-round, but to visit periodically.

But what about when you’re not there?

The great news is that Aspen is a great area to rent out condos on a short-term basis. Vacationers love feeling “at home” here.

If you're thinking of buying a condo for this purpose, here’s what your Aspen Realtor® will tell you to consider:

  • Condos
  • Townhomes
  • Single-family homes
  • Fractional condos

Condos

Many of the condos in Aspen have front desks, swimming pools, common laundry areas, and other services designed for short-term guests that you pay for in your condo association fees.

Townhomes

Townhomes don’t typically have common areas like a hotel would, but some communities do.

Single-Family Homes

Single-family homes can make great rental properties in Aspen – people want them for their size, and you’ll enjoy all the same benefits when you’re in residence. Types of homes often rent better during summer; during winter, skiers want to be on the mountain or closer to the action than most single-family vacation rentals are located.

Fractional Properties

Fractional properties, like the Ritz-Carlton Club, Hyatt or St. Regis, as well as others, allow you to own a property and get use of it during certain weeks of the year.

That would be so cool to have a time share up in Aspen and enjoy the slopes but my need can not take skiing for the  last 3 years.
