What is hot in Summit County Real Estate?  Everything, but some sectors are burning especially bright. In May, single family homes in both Breckenridge and greater Summit County gently outpaced 2017 numbers.  The multi-year trend of fewer listings following a seasonal arc with a building towards high summer peak continues. 

We are seeing about a 20 percent decline in available properties in Breckenridge from this point in 2017, and a 15 percent reduction in available listings for the greater Summit County market.  The decline in listings outpaces the decline in closed sales. Despite the smaller inventory, buyers are buying and sales are closing.  We expect another record summer as community investments in arts and open space have created an even

“According to the Summit County Building Inspection Department's 2017 summary report, the number of permits for single family and multi-family issued by the department skyrocketed to 852 in 2017 after the county issued 710 in 2016 and 644 in 2015.” -Summit Daily News, February 1, 2018. A big jump in building permits is another signal of the strength of the current Summit County real estate market.

The signal is two fold. One is that available homes for sale are selling and so people who want to live in Summit County are deciding to build.

It almost

There are reasons we in Summit County are used to being featured in the media  from early snowfalls being mentioned during NFL broadcasts to young Olympians making the late night talk show rounds, and heck, even being a very early mover in the push to decriminalize and then recreationally legalize marijuana.  Let’s just say Summit County is not a stranger to a little national attention.

But this recent round of notable news was strange enough to make Summit a cheeky punch line on Saturday Night Live.  A man was witnessed chasing a moose onto a median and then photographed by a passerby on Frisco Main Street. Chasing. A. Moose.

Moose weigh between 800 and 1,200 pounds, can be six feet tall at the shoulder and can be aggressive. They can run at 35

114 FRENCH STREET N BRECKENRIDGE

A Breckenridge icon! The Fireside Inn has mixed zone use, which creates many potential options. Currently this property is used as an 11 bedroom 8 bathroom Inn located just minutes from the Gondola base station and Main Street for all the shops, restaurants and entertainment.

During their March meeting, the Fed raised its economic growth forecast to 2.7%, up from 2.5% in December, and there remains the possibility that the rate hikes for 2018 may happen at a more aggressive pace than originally thought at the start of the year.

Whether it’s the healthy economy, the possibility of higher mortgage rates in the near future, or just the General Awesomeness (that is a technical term for ski country housing, FYI) of Summit County, Colorado, the real estate market continues to hum. Like a jet engine.

Last summer we had a family challenge — to have the best high country summer ever. It was our personal mission statement that we tested every decision against. When in doubt about doing something, we just asked each other, “Does this fit the best summer ever challenge?” If the answer was yes, we did it. And we did, indeed, have an incredible summer.

This year we are going to be even more intentional about our high country summer — we've created a summer bucket list. Whether it's your first or your fiftieth summer at altitude, the preciousness of the season never dulls. When something this beautiful is bracketed by the contrast of a Rocky Mountain winter, one can't help but want to drink up every drop.

So in no particular order, here is some of
