Five regions define the western resort landscape.
ResortVest concentrates exclusively on resort real estate across the American West and Hawaii rather than spreading across every metro — depth in a handful of markets we understand well.
Lake Tahoe, Truckee & the Sierra corridor
Our home region. South Lake Tahoe luxury sales surpassed $95 million in a single month in June 2025, while correctly-priced listings in North Lake Tahoe sold roughly four times faster than those requiring price adjustments.

Further down California's coast, the Pebble Beach and Carmel West markets posted H1 2026 median sale prices of $3.4 million and $3.42 million — up 21.6% and 15.1% year-over-year — even as the broader national market cooled.

Park City, Vail Valley & Jackson Hole
Greater Park City, Utah posted an average sale price near $2.53 million in 2025, up more than 24% year-over-year, with total sales volume up over 26%. In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the median home sale price rose 25% year-over-year, and properties priced at $5 million and above accounted for nearly two-thirds of total dollar volume. Aspen, Colorado's average single-family home price now exceeds $17 million. Source: Majestic Realty Collective, 2026 Resort Report
Central Oregon & the volcanic corridor
Bend and the broader Central Oregon resort corridor continue to draw relocators seeking four-season outdoor access at a lower entry point than the Rockies or Tahoe, with development activity increasingly concentrated near golf, ski, and river-trail amenities. On the coast, southwest Washington's Long Beach Peninsula — a large, historically overlooked beach market serving Seattle and Portland — posted a full-year 2025 median home price of $331,250, up 5.1% from 2024.

Scottsdale, Sedona & Palm Springs
Warm-climate resort markets in Arizona and the Coachella Valley continue to benefit from year-round livability and golf, wellness, and hospitality-anchored demand — a natural complement to our winter-season focus in the Sierra and Rockies. Idaho's Sandpoint and Sun Valley corridor, further north, has seen sales rise nearly 40% since 2024. Source: Majestic Realty Collective, 2026 Resort Report
West Hawaii's Kona-Kohala Coast & Maui's resort coast
West Hawaii's luxury market — the Kona and Kohala Coast corridor on the Big Island — posted a median sale price of $8.75 million for homes above $3 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 20.7% year-over-year, with average price per square foot up 10.8% to $2,331.

On Maui, the resort coast around Kaʻanapali and Wailea remains resilient, driven primarily by discretionary second-home buyers rather than local employment, with constrained inventory and limited new development supporting long-term values.
