Buyers repeatedly try to time the market by waiting for the absolute bottom price, which consistently fails in Vail because the bottom is either impossible to identify or has already passed by the time they feel confident to buy.
Vail breaks traditional market assumptions: supply is permanently constrained by national forest boundaries, properties trade infrequently due to long-term ownership, and demand comes from diverse sources (Denver, other U.S. markets, international buyers) that respond differently to economic conditions.
During 2009-2011, buyers who hesitated to purchase properties at historically sensible prices missed opportunities as prices rebounded quickly; those who bought even without catching the exact bottom saw returns far exceeding any marginal savings from waiting.
Vail is typically slow to enter a correction and quick to recover because when one buyer group pulls back, another often fills the gap, and the market tracks overall wealth more closely than interest rates due to a high percentage of cash buyers.
There's no widespread distress or forced selling, but selective adjustment at lower price points while the luxury segment above $5 million continues to outperform, with approximately $2 billion in major developments moving through entitlement as long-term investments.
Gordon describes Vail real estate as an appreciation play rather than a cash-flow investment, delivering long-term price growth along with lifestyle benefits (the 'powder dividend'), with properties averaging over 7% annual appreciation from 1980 to 2019.
Mark Gordon from Christiania Realty entered real estate in 2008 during the worst market conditions since the Great Depression, giving him firsthand education in how Vail's market truly behaves through decades of market cycles.
Supply is permanently constrained since more Vail cannot be built due to national forest boundaries, while demand comes from multiple sources (Denver, other U.S. markets, international buyers) each influenced by different economic conditions.
Buyers should avoid waiting for an elusive market bottom, recognize that Vail's market behaves differently from traditional markets, and understand that properties are long-term appreciation plays with lifestyle benefits rather than short-term cash-flow investments.
