2017 is off to a bang in Breckenridge. While the number of available listings is only a fraction compared to this time last year, sales are up over 56% across all residential property types and up 100% for single-family homes alone.  All other areas of the county are trending in a similar manner, with available residential listings lagging behind 2016 numbers between 25-40%, with the notable exception of townhomes. Townhomes alone buck the trend; there are twice as many listed today as compared to this time last year.  Pending sales numbers are also high, leading us to predict continuing growth in February.

A multi-year trend of declining available listings makes one wonder- do people love their Summit County homes so much that we just don’t want…

This is a winter of powder turns, powder whoops*, sore quads, exhausted après, mandatory hot tubs and other great side effects from a ton of snow. Other benefits will include a massive whitewater season from all the runoff, so its a good time to start thinking about planning a spring or summer river adventure.

But moose kisses? Didn't see that one coming. All the snow has brought moose down from the high country and right into town. While they've often wintered close to humans in Cucumber Gulch, Christy Heights, and Peak Seven neighborhoods, this season they've moved right onto Main Street and other lower lying neighborhoods. Location, location, location! They can be observed grazing and strolling, window-shopping, and bunking down for the night in…
