While we had a great one,
summer is just a memory, the aspens have shed their golden
leaves and now, just waiting for our first real snow. Our
mountains will soon look like the winter panorama you see
above.
So,the race is on between Loveland
and Arapahoe Basin ski resorts to see which will open first this
year! Do you know who won last year?
Breckenridge and all other ski
resorts in Summit County are scheduled to open in just a few
weeks. Soon the 2012/2013 ski season will will be in
full swing. Are you ready?
Still time to
find your place for the Holidays and enjoy the Lifestyle that is so
dear to us all!
How's
The Market YTD 2012?
The local sold market in Summit
County for residential sales is holding in at13% up!
Last week's number of properties
selling and going under contract came in strong with a 54% sold
improvement and a 27% under contract improvement over the same week in
2011. Strong fourth quarter activity going on now. Learn more at Weekly Real Estate Activity.
.
A little more detail...
Active listings are down 16%. Listings that are undercontract,
and ready to close are up 15%. No matter how one looks at it, the
market is up.
Third Quarter Results: Many like to
associate to a year in the past that is similar to sales today. And
that year, interestingly, is 2006 for both Condominiums and Single
Family Homes. Here is a tidbit, there is only a 3% difference between
sold home prices today as compared to 2006. Learn more at All Market Stats .
Have I said yet, that it's time
buy? Yes, especially for those of you that want to take
advantage of the income producing investment properties. The Ski
season accounts for over 75% of the rental income for the entire
year. Rental income goes a long ways in helping offset the day to
day of your property ownership expenses!
