“Disappointment equals expectation minus reality.” -Chip Conley, Emotional Equations

Taxes are a reality.

Property Tax Assessment season is upon us. And while most of us love to think about the equity we have amassed in our growing market, few like to see that number reflected in the tax assessment- particularly when that number seems an unlikely or unsupported sale price for one’s home.  

However, Colorado ranks at the very bottom of property tax rates nationally- only Alabama and Hawaii have lower effective property tax rates. States like New Jersey and Texas have property tax rates four times higher than Colorado. (And, suspend your judgment about living in Texas or NJ- I spend time in both places and they have lots to recommend them. But no,…

Breckenridge Recreation Center

In Summit County, instead of "Do what you say," couldn't we riff on that slogan to mean "Put your money where you play,"?  Our county is a place of serious and unrepentant recreators. Studies show that all this play is not merely whimsical. From diverse studies including longevity, happiness, best-small-town, most-vibrant-arts-districts and even obesity; Summit County rates as an incredibly healthy place to live. The ski areas are the crown jewels, the golf courses legendary; the trail systems are practically mythical. Yet, there is one more ingredient in the special sauce — our Breckenridge Recreation Center.

From basketball courts to indoor climbing walls, free weights, movement studios, swimming pools, tennis courts and more, an active life at…

Breckenridge Sales by Realtor up to December 2017

2017 shaped up to be a fine year in Summit County real estate all the way around. The number of sales reached the highest point since 2007, and almost reaching 2007 volume, both in greater Summit County and Breckenridge specifically. We continue to follow the seasonal arc of a summer peak with pronounced but steady shoulder seasons, and we are seeing these sales numbers with an ever decreasing amount of available listings. Simple supply and demand tells us that in these circumstances prices will rise. And rise they did.

The impacts of tax reform: housing prices are expected to react negatively in highly taxed areas as the $10,000 mortgage interest deduction comes into play (maximum of $10k is allowable as a income tax deduction in the tax bill…

The best thing about the International Snow Sculptures? It’s difficult to pick just one thing. With 28 years of snow sculpting heritage here in Breckenridge, we can truly say it never gets old. The sculptures inspire a childlike wonder — they often seem to defy the laws of physics. The dedication of everyone focused on making the event happen, from the teams of volunteers to the 16 international teams, is inspiring. The art ranges from the abstract to the silly and the sculptures are on display for 24 hours a day from the start of sculpting through the end of the voting period. The sculptures look different under sunlight and electric lights, and are an easy post-dinner stroll. There are so many good reasons to visit.

The one drawback? In this writer’s…
