For the last number of years th Breckenridge Associates Real Estate office has had an un-official lodger. I took the photo of this vixen this morning sitting at the top of our back staircase just watching the comings and goings of our company. Quite often, especially in winter, if you look at our roof from Main Street in Breckenridge you can see her watching all the traffic!
Now you all need to write in and tell us her name!

Another more substantial amount of snow on the peaks means you should be getting your skis and snowboards waxed and ready to go. Breckenridge Ski Area is scheduled to open November 12th and will be here before you know it.

If you already have your Mountain Retreat up here, you're all set. If not, now is the time to find one. With home prices down to '04 or '05 levels, and interest rates at an all time low, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION! Rate quotes 2 days ago were 3 5/8% on a 15 Year Conforming, and 4 7/8% for a 30 Year Jumbo. Does not matter if it's a primary residence or a second home, but you may have to put down a slightly higher percentage for the secone home loan.

Gaining in popularity are permeable driveways, pervious rather than impervious to the elements, allowing rain water to soak through the driveway into the soil. These green driveways may decrease flooding, recharge groundwater, filter out pollutants and keep drinking water healthy.

A layer of gravel is placed on top of the soil excavated at least three inches below the paving surface, and an overflow route is created for storm runoff directing water to street drains, gardens and landscaping. Materials used to create a green driveway are: 1) Porous Asphalt or Cement; 2) Permeable Paver blocks, bricks or flagstone for driveway, sidewalk and patio use; 3) Open-Celled Grids of recycled Plastic Pavers with vegetation or gravel fill. http://www.BreckenridgeAssociates.com

The newest luxury home for sale in Breckenridge is the historic Gondola House. They call it the Gondola House for a reason: this is the closest single family home to the new BreckConnect Gondola. This home is also located one-half block from Main Street and overlooks the Blue River for the perfect blend of convenience and comfort.
