The Limelight Hotel: What is that hole in the ground next to the Westin and what are the cranes for? Few people know what is going on at the corner of Lake Mary Road and Canyon Blvd. This is the site of the new Limelight Hotel. The first phase of the Limelight will feature 149 hotel rooms and 15 Luxury residences as well as a lounge and club. The limelight promises to bring a new level of hospitality. Having been to the Limelight in Ketchum, I can attest that the limelight does bring uniqueness and quality. The lounge was filled with both locals and visitors and the experience was casual and comfortable.
State Bill 584 – Are you a property owner renting your condo on a short-term basis? Read “Tax eaters on the March” in a recent edition of The Sheet News Online. You will see Matthew’s opinion on the proposed Labor force Housing Financial Act which essentially proposes a 15% statewide tax (currently 0%) on short term rental properties like those rented on Airbnb, VRBO, Bookings.com and more.
Summer is nearly here! Along with the very welcomed warm weather also comes the increased summer visitations, and with increase visitations come an increase in buyers to the Mammoth Lakes area. While there has been very little inventory for buyers to see, the inventory numbers have been increasing over recent weeks. Active single family home listings are up 50% from last month, while condominium inventory has increased 35% since last month.
Single Family Homes
The median sales price for a single-family home as of June 1, 2023, was $1,349,500. This figure is based on 16 closed sales in Mammoth Lakes Year-to-Date. 16 sales would put us on pace for a total of 38 sales for the year, compared to 83 total sales in 2022. The lower volume is attributed to limited available inventory vs. the lack of demand; demand remains high.

As seen in the graph above, the number of active home listings (inventory) as of the first of each respective month showed a general decline since August of 2022. As of June 1, 2023, the inventory had increased 50% over the previous month, which is not uncommon as summer tends to be a very active time to sell in Mammoth.
Condominium Market
The Median price for a condominium in Mammoth Lakes as of June 1, 2023, was $754,500, which is about even with the median price observed for all of 2022. This median price is slightly over the YTD median price of $739,000 observed last month. June 1, 2023, median price was determined through 68 sales YTD.

Median sale prices for condominiums, by month, allows us to observe Buyer and Seller attitudes throughout the year. As of June 1, 2023, median home prices are lower than seen a year ago.
Over the past 12 months, the number of active listings for condominiums peaked in August 2022 with 78 active listings at the beginning of August. As of June 1, 2023, there were 38 condominiums available for purchase in Mammoth.
Vacant Residential Land Market
As of June 1, 2023, there were seven land sales in Mammoth for the year. The most noticeable change so far this year is the increase in the median price per foot from $34 to $43. This is attributed largely to the sale of a lot on the Snowcreek Golf Course which brought a premium for its location and incredible mountain views.
