In what was an uncertain economic year, Breckenridge and Summit County real estate faired well according to local MLS data obtained at the end of 2009. In an annual comparison to 2008, real estate sales dollar volume and overall number of transactions were down between 12% and 13% in Breckenridge, and in Summit and Park County areas the same numbers dropped between 13% and 15%. However, summer and fall months gained momentum with approximately 72% of Summit and Park County transactions taking place the second half of the year. With average sales prices realizing 2005 numbers, buyers sought and found better local deals in 2009 than in the last 10 years. First-time homebuyers took advantage of the government tax credit and were able to enter into the market. This year also marked a record sale in the Breckenridge luxury market at nearly $8.3 million, beating the previous record holding transaction by more than $2.7 million.
