Breckenridge...Choice Destination for Snow Lovers

As the official ski season kicks off, Breckenridge becomes the choice destination for many snow lovers visiting Summit County. It’s not unusual to see—after visitors fall in love with our wonderful town and vibrant community, our world-class ski area and myriad of other winter activities—that they may spend a day or two exploring real estate opportunities. Sometimes the itch is for a ski condo, sometimes a welcoming home where family and friends can gather all year to enjoy our mountain paradise. Often these "maybe I really do want a place in Breck" end up hesitating. There are lots of reasons why, but often we hear, “Maybe prices will go down,” or “Maybe sellers will be more willing to negotiate next year,” along with other market-related musings. Our goal is to help clients make the right decision at the right time. We keep careful track of trends and thought you might be interested in seeing just a very small piece of the statistics regarding sales in Breckenridge.

Following the market collapse in 2008, prices declined, but around 2012, we started to see the beginning of a reversal, including an increase in average sales prices, percentage of appreciation (in most cases, although there have been small percentages of depreciation in some years), higher prices per square foot and a decline of days on the market. No one has a crystal ball and real estate decisions are important ones often tied to strong markets and a growing economy. If trends hold and you have seen the Breckenridge property you love, this may be the right time to buy.

Here are some historical statistics in Year-to-Date single-family home and condo sales in Breckenridge through September 30, 2019.

In our single-family market, it’s especially interesting to note the increase in average sales price and the decline in days-on-market as available inventory, particularly in winter, tends to be smaller than during spring and summer.

In the condo market, the most interesting trend is the dramatic decline in days on market and the comparatively high price-per-square foot. Prices and appreciation are also rising as buyers (some of whom have been looking for a while) decide the time is right.

At Breckenridge Associates Real Estate we understand the many factors that come into play when making such an important decision. We’re here to help you sort through them, answer your questions and help you achieve your real estate dream in Breckenridge.
