Historical Breckenridge Single Family Market Appreciation Report

The real estate market is “normalizing”… What exactly does that mean for our unique Summit County market?

Year to date, the number of real estate sales for 2022 are down 42.31 % in Breckenridge and 32.64% for all of Summit County as compared to the record-breaking sales of 2021.

Knowing the Breckenridge real estate market fared better than most back in 2008, we could only be cautiously optimistic.
