Breckenridge & Summit County Real Estate Statistics | Breckenridge Associates Real Estate | Page #2

The luxury real estate market has increasingly become an important sector in the Summit County real estate market, but with a limited number of properties available and a fast-growing demand.

2020 sales through October 31st brought stats none of us saw coming. Like the rest of the world, we have been shocked this year by circumstances never before encountered. Knowing the Breckenridge real estate market fared better than most back in 2008, we could only be cautiously optimistic. When public health allowed real estate showings to resume this past June, we were more than pleased to see buyers returning, but never expected to see the surprising gains reflected in the October stats report. 

Clearly, people want to own property in the mountains. Sales prices are going up and inventory is going down. Our office is following this trend with an increase of 23% in sales dollar volume. While residential sales are up, the number of…

Freddie Mac has delivered news that will potentially boost sales as our Summit country real estate market heads into its busiest selling season. US long-term mortgage rates have fallen for the third straight week, with the 30-year loan at its lowest point in three years at 3.45 percent. The average 15-year mortgage has dropped to 2.975 percent. Experts expect rates to remain in a holding pattern below 4 percent. Mortgage rates at these lows were last seen in 2016, which makes 2020 a profitable time for refinancing or purchasing. Even if rates should rise a bit, they are low by historical standards.

At present, in our local area, there are 176 active residential listings for Breckenridge and 503 in Summit County. These numbers are higher than they have…

Current U.S. Mortgage rates are favorable and top economists predict that rates for the end of 2019 will average between 3.8 percent and 4 percent for 30-year fixed rates. According to Freddie Mac, only one year ago in 2018, a 30-year fixed rate mortgage was 4.81 percent, thus showing a sharp decline in today’s rates.

In addition, mortgages have shown a steady decline throughout 2019, with the historic low for 30-year rates at 3.31 percent in November 2012.
