Local real estate in 2010 proved to be a year of rebuilding and gathering strength for real estate in Breckenridge. Our market made great strides over 2009 with significant sales volume increases in Single Family Homes, Condos and Land as well as a reduction in existing inventory overall. Breckenridge Associates Real Estate was the top performing office in Breckenridge sales transactions for the year. We represented a combination of 110 listing and selling sides in Breckenridge, or 13% of the 816 total sales sides for the year.

2011 Market Trends – Pricing & Foreclosures
It is still a Buyer’s Market, however we have seen pricing somewhat stabilize throughout Breckenridge. Many sellers have come down considerably from their original asking price and have priced to sell. When sellers are pricing their property in line with where it should be in the marketplace, sales are happening. Our real estate team can provide insight on pricing your property to sell as we move into the prime real estate season.
While the Breckenridge market wasn’t hit as hard and fast with foreclosures as witnessed at a national level, we have seen a growing number of foreclosures in recent years. In 2009 there were 47 foreclosures, 2010 had 104 foreclosures and so far there have already been 59 foreclosures in 2011 (January 1 – April 15).
