If you had the chance to stroll through  Breckenridge this summer you surely would  have experienced the hustle, bustle and energy  of town. A very lively Main Street, crowded  restaurants and music wafting from the  Riverwalk Center were just a few indicators that  Breckenridge was a popular summer tourism  destination this year. Likewise, evidence  showed signs of an improved Breckenridge  economy noting a 3 percent increase in tax  revenue for July over the previous summer, and  year-to-date numbers through August were up  more than 1.5 percent over 2009.  Beyond Breckenridge, Silverthorne’s  numbers were reportedly up by 1 percent  though Frisco was down less than 1  percent through August when compared  to 2009. Summit County’s sales tax for the  unincorporated areas of Summit County (i.e.  Keystone and Copper Mountain) also showed  a decline. However, resort town reservations...

This is an excellent question and piquing the interest of the majority of  our real estate clients. Year-to-date (YTD) transaction numbers,  including all residential (homes, townhomes and condos) in the  Breckenridge market, are up slightly over 2009. Average sale price is  down 15 percent though price per square foot is down only 6 percent.  There have been 275 total transactions YTD over 272 for the same  time period in 2009. Average sales price YTD is $695,457 compared  to the same time period of 2009 at $819,000. Average sold price per  square foot YTD is $356 over 2009’s $378 for the same time period.  (YTD is defined as Jan, – Sept. 2010.) The mix of what has sold so far  this year has included smaller and less expensive properties, driving  down the average sale price artificially. This is why the number  cannot accurately be viewed in isolation from the sold prices per  square foot, which went down only 6 percent....

Track and share activity on the ski slopes this winter ski season when Vail  Resorts debuts EpicMix, a cutting-edge and innovative free gaming  application for skiers and snowboarders available at the Vail Resorts  family of ski resorts – Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, Beaver Creek and  Heavenly. EpicMix will launch at the resorts this December. What is EpicMix? EpicMix is simple with three basic components. The first is to capture your own skier data and you can create  personal goals on the slopes. For example, it can track which  lifts you’ve ridden for the day and how many times you’ve ridden  them, how many skier days you’ve had for the season among other  activities. The second component is you are rewarded along the way as you  complete certain activities. Various accomplishments, such as riding  the Imperial Lift at Breckenridge will reward you with a pin – the  “Imperial Palace” pin to be specific to this Breckenridge act...

The Breckenridge T-Bar Opened this past week, which was the earliest opening date in history! The ski base is already 39", with 9 ski lifts open and 750 acres of skiing and boarding.

Heads up skiers if you live north (Peak 7)or south (Blue River) of town.  The People's Wheels is a new bus service that will run on a set schedule and take you to and from the base of the mountain.  The cost is $3 a ride but punch passes are available at a discounted price.  You can go to their website to see the schedule and read more about the service.  Sounds awesome!  Andrew Clapp

It was an incredible first day at the Breckenridge Ski Resort!  Breckenridge is boasting “Breckenridge, Like Never Before”. Correct and succinct is the message, I’d say, immediately  upon our arrival at the base of Peak 8. A quick gondola ride brought us to the all new base facility for the resort at One Ski Hill Place . The new Rock Resort features the T Bar and Ski Hill Grill for food and grog, and luxurious real estate, indeed like never before.    After a hearty breakfast of French toast, compliments of Breckenridge Ski Resort, we went on to enjoy a 29” base and 8” or so of fresh, light and fluffy powder on Crescendo and Callies Alley.  Spruce was slick and super fast. And hearty hikers, (not us) braved an ascent by foot to the front bowl for a taste of the ever elusive pow pow.  The grand opening of the Gold Runner Coaster also filled the day.  This new attraction is a MUST for every visitor to the mountain.  Take the 2500 ft adventure ...

Welcome to Friday, November 5th. While many of us thought interest rates could not go any lower, yesterday I saw reports of 30 Year Loans under 4%.  For every 1% point drop in interest rates, that equates to about a 10% drop in the price of a property.  If you were to find the right place for you soon, you could be in there by Christmas to enjoy the holidays with the entire family.  Why wait any longer? On another note, today is Opening Day at Copper Mountain & Keystone.  Copper is reporting a 22" base, while Keystone is starting with an 18" base.  Arapahoe Basin is opening more and more terrain, and a client of mine was at Loveland the other day and said he could not believe how good the snow conditions were.  While it has been "Spring Like" weather the past few weeks, evening temperatures have been low enough for the snow making guns to be making snow full bore.  Looking up at the Breckenridge Ski Resort ski runs, they are looking great....

WHAT??!!?? You heard it right! This two bedroom condo is now priced under $200,000.  This must be the deal of the year!  Look at this!  This is a two bedroom condo within walking distance to the chairlift on Peak 8 at the Breckenridge Ski Resort. It has 2 bathrooms with showers, a bright living/dining/kitchen area and a private deck!  But, does it qualify under the three rules of real estate . . .???  Huh?  LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!  YES!  Literally the only thing between this condo and the chairlift is a bunch of multi million dollar homes and One Ski Hill Place? What???  Yes.  They spent millions $$!!!  You can get yourself right on into this neighborhood for under $200,000.  Gold Camp has long been a legendary meeting point for families and friends who've come to enjoy Breckenridge. I ran some numbers , check this out>>you can own this condo, including paying the dues and taxes, for about $1200 per month.*...
