Did You Know? Vacation & Investment Home Sales – Breckenridge vs. National Averages

New data from the National Association of REALTORS indicates second home market share held even in 2010 in terms of vacation- and investment-home sales. Research shows this segment of the market held steady over 2009, even with transactions declining nationally, suggesting inventory in the second home market is moving at a national level. This is especially good news for healthy destination markets like Breckenridge, which already skew well above national averages in the market segment of secondary home ownership. Let’s take a closer look at the national data compared to data specific to the local real estate market in Breckenridge.

Secret Stash – April’s Jam Packed With Live Music In The Mountains

It’s hard to believe this epic snow year is winding down and coming to a close. We hope you’re able to get out there and make a few more turns before the end of the season. It doesn’t get much better than a warm spring bluebird ski day in the mountains. In honor of an incredible, snowy ski season, Summit County ski resorts know how to throw the best end-of-year party with lots of live (and mostly FREE) music. Check out some of the music on tap in April at our local ski resorts below. Breckenridge Ski Resort It’s Spring Fever in Breckenridge with a hot line-up of concerts throughout April. Get to the base area at Peak 8 from 3-5pm Saturday and Sunday afternoons in April for the Bud Light Concert Series’ free concerts, with live bands performing on the specially-constructed Bud Light stage. And if you’re looking for even more live music, there’s more to be found on select evenings throughout the month at the Riverwalk Performing Arts Center from 5:30-7pm. Saturday, April 9 3-5pm, B

Remember To Buy Locally

As we jump feet first into Spring with Summer not too far behind, we think about the transition of local business and what it means in to our community. We’ll soon be saying goodbye to skiing and snowboarding and hello to fly fishing and golf. We’ll shift from evenings at home cozied up by the fire and into longer and warmer days ahead, dining and playing outside. While many of us make a point to leave during the shoulder season following the winter wrap-up, when we return we should remember how important it is to support our local community by buying locally and supporting our local businesses as they ramp up for Summer.
