For this analysis, ATTOM looked at ZRanking.com’s Best Ski Resorts in the US at the time of this report, calculated based on the Pure Awesomeness Factor: https://www.zrankings.com/articles/best-ski-resorts-north -america. This algorithm is based on a range of ski resort data, including vertical drop and snow quantity, among others. ATTOM then isolated the top 10 US counties surrounding the top ranked resorts and the most recent high-level home sales data points, based on ATTOM’s Year-End 2021 US Home Sales Report, which looks at recorded sales deeds for single family homes and condos nationwide . Home seller price gains represent the difference between the median sales price of homes in a given market in a given timeframe and the median sales price of the previous sale of those same homes, expressed both in a dollar amount and as a percentage of the previous median sales price.
