For the first five months of 2016, volatile financial markets and global uncertainty with an unpredictable Presidential race may all be contributing factors to the staggering drop in Aspen real estate gross sales and transactions as compared to the same period last year. The market slow-down follows a $2 billon year for Pitkin County that was one of the strongest on record in terms of the numbers of transactions and sales volume.
