After the economic sluggishness of 2010, it is easy to paint a picture of the local Breckenridge real estate market in a decline. One can certainly find numbers that indicate receding prices and dropping numbers of sales in segments of the local market. However, this tells only part of the story and ignores some other signs pointing toward recovery.

Summer months are typically when we experience the highest number of real estate sales transactions, however we show property to many qualified buyers throughout the busy winter season. With Breckenridge Ski Resort alone sustaining more than 1 million skier visits in a typical winter, there is a definite opportunity to catch the eye of the in-town visitor.

Sellers should take the time to consider their home’s Winter Curb Appeal and how inviting their…
