Land and housing fundamentals across America's mountain resort and gateway towns, tracked continuously and scored by asset class — affordable & workforce housing, market rate, luxury, land, commercial, and hospitality — the same way the main LandBriefing watchlist scores metro land opportunity, extended for where mountain-town real estate actually breaks down by use.

Every figure on this page is dated and sourced to a specific report — Census Building Permits Survey (via FRED), Zillow ZHVI, Redfin, local MLS/board-of-Realtors reports, named news coverage, and public housing-authority or municipal records. Where sources disagreed or a figure couldn't be verified to a specific date, we said so in the notes rather than smoothing it into a single confident number. This is a research snapshot, not a live feed, and should be treated as a starting point for your own underwriting, not a substitute for it.
