Home values in exclusive ski resort town skyrocket See more of our coverage in your search results.

Why it matters

Add The New York Post on Google Since the 1990s, home prices throughout the country have skyrocketed—but the increase in home values in one exclusive, ultraluxury territory far exceeds the national average.

Common ground

Nationally, home values rose about 300% from 1995 to 2025, according to data from the Case-Shiller home price index.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
