The Best Ski Towns for Real Estate Investing

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RISMedia

It's here! RealtyTrac released its list of the top ski areas for real estate investment, and there were some interesting factors involved in their ranking - the old standbys like median home prices and gross rent yield, and less common factors like airport proximity and 'Pure Awesomeness'!

As expected, towns in Utah, Washington, Montana, Oregon, California, Idaho and Colorado topped the list. Sadly, I haven't ventured that far west yet - are they as awesome as RealtyTrac says?

It's almost as if RealtyTrac was reading my mind Suzanne De Vita . It's a little scary actually!

Suzanne, if you're a skiier, you definitely should head out west. I've been fortunate enough to ski Sun Valley, Aspen, Vail, Telluride (didn't make the list), many in Utah and California. With our extreme drought, though, this is not the year to try California!

Suzanne, what an interesting list and I was very surprised to see such a low price for South Lake Tahoe.  Great news for investors on that one!

I was very disappointed that our couple of  Indiana ski areas with their average massive verticle drops of 250 feet didn't make the list!!!     :(

This will attract the attention of many diehard skiers and those that have the desire to give it a try. Neither are for me. My bones break to easily.

Believe it or not Suzanne De Vita New Mexico offers some excellent opportunities for skiers and boarders.  Imagine that.

Hello Suzanne ... some great places to ski and was Alaska on that list or is this only the Lower 48?

That's what the buyers tell me! So many resorts and so many nearby homes at amazing prices in my own backyard.
