breckenridge: Vote for your favorite Summit County ski area - 09/24/07 11:17 PM
For the last few weeks I have had a survey running on my Summit County real estate blog, asking people which is their favorite Summit County Ski Resort. Copper Mountain took the lead early on (I only voted once!) and is now way ahead of all the other resorts. Today my SKI … (31 comments)

This is a contest entry to the Active Rain Buyer Challenge: Dear Miss Hilton, I understand that you would like more information about the possible purchase of a vacation home here in the mountains of Colorado.

breckenridge: We have cheap houses but you probably can't buy one. - 08/14/07 12:27 AM
This was the title of a post I did a couple of months ago on my outside blog. I was reminded recently, when I read a post by Esko Kiuru about the lack of affordable housing in Las Vegas, that not every resort area has good programs to help locals get affordable housing. … (26 comments)
breckenridge: Summit County ski resorts are now wind powered. - 08/11/07 09:01 PM
The ski areas are working very hard to make sure that everyone knows that they are now using clean, natural resources as a source of electricity. Do you have any idea what it means for them to be wind powered? At first I visualized many big wind turbines sitting on top of the ski mountains. We … (24 comments)
breckenridge: Copper Mountain, Breckenridge or Keystone; where is the best place to buy a condo? - 08/07/07 11:33 PM
People often ask me, "where is the best place to buy my condo?" My answer is usually another question, "where do you like to ski?" Most times they are indirectly asking me for the area with the best appreciation, and, for that reason, I think I would have to say Breckenridge but qualify it … (26 comments)
breckenridge: Will Summit County property values be affected by the Pine Beetle epidemic? - 06/10/07 03:52 PM
The Pine Beetle has devastated our forests in Summit County and many Silverthorne, Frisco and Breckenridge homes have felt the effects as one after another, trees have died. I have experienced it first hand, as my home in Mesa Cortina, which backs to Forest Service land, has been in the thick … (9 comments)
breckenridge: Breckenridge land, for millionaires only - 06/03/07 05:03 PM
Today, June 3, 2007, with a total of 93 lots for sale in Breckenridge, only 12 are priced under $250,000. Of those, 3 are in RV parks and 5 are at an elevation of about 11,000' where summers are very short. Looking at the other end of the price range, 16 lots are priced over … (12 comments)
breckenridge: Summit County, Colorado busses are a history lesson - 06/02/07 06:31 PM
In Summit County we have an excellent free bus system called The Summit Stage. When we first moved here, I noticed that all the busses had names on them and I wondered what they meant. The names refer to Summit County history, and it wasn't until I read a book about … (3 comments)
breckenridge: Who is the King of Breckenridge, and why? - 05/19/07 01:08 AM
No one has proclaimed a king, at least not since Ullr Fest in January, but he is King of the week long party that is the tribute to the Norse god of snow, not the Town. We do have a town fool competition at the end of ski season each year, but … (2 comments)
breckenridge: Easy referrals you are probably missing - 04/20/07 10:55 PM
Have you ever asked one of your clients if they have thought about buying a second home? Not just a rental property, but a vacation home at the beach or mountains. If your clients are baby boomers and they live in a nice house, chances are they already have a second home or they … (10 comments)
breckenridge: Where is the hottest spot for second homes? - 04/18/07 12:26 AM
In Summit County, it is Breckenridge. Although if Frisco had more residential units it might be a close second. The average sale is priced 16% higher than it was this time last year, but we have 15% less sales. It is the old law of supply and demand. We only have … (1 comments)
