Is October still the off season? This time last year, the number of visitors on Main Street looked more like early summer. Occupancy in October 2022 will help determine whether it was a one-time fluke from pent-up travel demand or a reflection of Breckenridge’s growing popularity. We suspect the latter in combination with steady growth in the Front Range where the majority of our second homeowners and visitors originate. Regardless of season or changes brought about by time, a desire to own a home in the High Country of Breckenridge and Summit County remains strong. If your dream home or investment property is on the list below, give us a call! We’re always here to help you find or sell a mountain property, big or small.

Here are Breckenridge…

Housing markets in Summit County and all over the country are experiencing record sales. Millions of Americans want an upgraded home, a new location to call home or their first home. One of the largest emerging groups is the millennial generation.

Have you found yourself looking around Summit County and wondering just how much more it can grow, how much more can be built before no space to build upon remains? The Summit County Planning Department conducted what is called a Residential Buildout Analysis to attempt to answer those questions. The study provided actual and projected numbers for how much development has occurred and how much remains to be built.

The most recent Buildout Analysis was updated December 31, 2019, before anyone knew what was about to happen in the world. While it would be ideal to have a study dated as recent as yesterday, 2020 was a year of disruptions. The Buildout Analysis wasn’t really on anyone’s mind last year. Regardless, the hard data in the 2019 study remains the…

Now in our last month of summer, ski season buzz is inevitably on the way. It’s been 8 years since Breckenridge Ski Resort unveiled something new on the mountain, so the new Peak 7 chair is highly anticipated, especially by those who love skiing and riding Peaks 6 and 7. With the postponement of construction now behind us, the new chair is set to debut for the 2021-2022 ski season. Last month, Breckenridge Ski Resort announced the new lift will be named the Freedom SuperChair. “Freedom and Independence. Two words that go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly…” With pandemic restrictions lifted and the feeling we all get gliding downhill on the snow, we can’t think of a more fitting name.

The new Freedom SuperChair will be a high-speed quad lift that…
