The mid-valley real estate market has been slow to wake from the recession-induced slumber even though the number of foreclosures fell significantly in 2013.

The number of single-family home sales fell by 23 percent in the mid-valley in 2013 compared to 2012, according to data from the Aspen-Glenwood Springs Multiple Listing Service.

The dollar volume from those sales fell 25 percent in a year-to-year comparison, the Multiple Listing Service statistics showed.

There were 235 single-family-home sales in Basalt, El Jebel, Carbondale and Missouri Heights in 2012, according to the data. That sagged to 180 sales in 2013.

The dollar volume dropped from $157.09 million in 2012 to $117.14 million in 2013, the statistics showed.

The average sales price slipped 2 percent to $650,772, according to the information provided by the real estate companies.

The number of sales of condominiums, townhouses and duplex units were nearly flat year-to-year. There were 129 units sold in the mid-valley in 2012. That fell 3 percent to 124 last year.

The dollar volume from those sales climbed 11 percent. The dollar volume was $37.45 million in 2012 and $41.91 million in 2013.

The single-family home sales over the last two years are considerably better than the performance during the recession, but far below sales levels achieved during the Pre-recession boom. There were 305 sales of single-family homes in Basalt, El Jebel, Carbondale and Missouri Heights in 2005, according to the Multiple Listing Service. There were 114 sales in that area in 2010.
