After 3 days of ice and blizzard conditions, I can't explain how wonderful it is to live up here other than provide a picture of what it is like.  We are so lucky to be able to take in the beauty of this incredible thing we call LIFE!

There was a Broker Open House today at 95 Long Ridge Drive.  EVERYONE though it was a Fantastic Home.  Beautiful Quality & Detail, Warm and Inviting Floor Plan, and Views To Die for. Priced Right at $1,775,000, this 4,443 Sq Ft Home in Highlands Park is one of the best homes in the Breckenridge area, especially in this price range.

On the way home from the Open House, a few partners of Breckenridge Associates Real Estate stopped to take a few pictures of some Elk out for a stroll.  How appropriate that the house at 95 Long Ridge Drive is located on the Elk Course of the Breckenridge Golf Club.

See the slide show of the Elk just below a few pictures of 95 Long Ridge Drive.  For more detailed information, and more pictures of this wonderful home, go to…

Our new 4 Lane Highway (Hwy9) on the north side of Breckenridge is now complete.  The construction has extended 4 lanes from Tiger Road all the way into Breckenridge.  What used to be 50 MPH (when it was only 2 lanes) is now 45 MPH.  Who knows why it is not the higher limit now that we have 4 lanes, a median, and is definitely safer than before, but that's what it is.

Coming from Frisco you can travel at 50 MPH all the way (except for the school zone when the lights are flashing by the High School which is 40 MPH) to Tiger Road, and then the speed is reduced to 45 MPH.

Enjoy the new highway but watch your speed.

Head over to Beaver Run Saturday afternoon from 4-6 PM to meet 7 of Colorado's most talented Craft Distillers.  These Artisans will be presenting their hand crafted spirits at an informal walk around tasting event hosted by Beaver Run Resort.  Call 970-453-5555 for more information.

Before you head up there, stop by our office to talk about the current real estate market, and why this might be the right time for you to purchase a residence here in the area, or if you already own a place, it might be the perfect opportunity to move up.

It’s that time of the year when the leaves have changed and a hint of winter is in the air. It has been the most beautiful fall we can remember with cool mornings and bluebird afternoons, but cooler temperatures are coming. Our first traceable snow came more than a week ago and the resorts have begun snowmaking efforts with most opening less than a month from now. 2010-2011 season ski passes are on sale now; be sure to get yours before you hit the slopes.


Check out photos of the recent October snow and snowmaking at Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain Ski Resort and Keystone Ski Resort.

We saw a slight increase in sales of residential properties throughout Summit County in September compared to sales from the same month last year. There were 118 residences that sold last month, showing a sharp increase in sales from the month of August and we continue to see signs of a stabilizing housing market in Summit County.
Even though buyers are returning to the market, the unusually elevated number of properties available today continue to drive sales prices lower. At the current rate of monthly sales in Breckenridge we have in excess of two years of inventory available to buyers. Sales are happening, but it’s now more important than ever to price your home as competitively as possible to secure a sale.
Sales of particular note last month…
