Market Research Shows 54% Unprepared for Wildfires

 


US consumers said they were least prepared for wildfires and earthquakes in comparison to all types of natural disasters, and those who were involved in natural disasters feel like they could have been more prepared. The survey was commissioned by the consumer market research group Qualtrics and Value Penguin.

The survey also details information regarding preparedness for emergency evacuations and the financial impacts of disasters. CAR has a partnership with several like-minded organizations through Colorado Project Wildfire (CPW), which provides REALTORS® and homebuyers with a toolkit and resources to bring education and awareness, as well as access to resources directly to residents in their local communities.

Snow in Summit County’s forecast this weekend

 


#breckenridge #colorado

Summit County has two rounds of possible snow on the way.

It began yesterday,  Friday afternoon, Oct. 8, off-and-on rain and snow showers are expected and will continue through Saturday evening, Oct. 9, according to National Weather Service meteorologist David Barjenbruch. While the majority of accumulating snow is likely to fall north of Summit County, the area could see a few inches.

“We’ll see a few showers around Summit County,” Barjenbruch said. “Some of them will be rain showers initially below about 11,000 feet, snow level above that. And then the snow levels will gradually lower to about 9,000 feet and even 8,500 feet as we head into (Saturday) evening. So maybe a dusting down in the valley, maybe a couple inches up on some of the local ski areas.”

According to the National Weather Service’s Frisco forecast, temperatures are expected to dip to 36 degrees Friday night, 25 degrees Saturday night and 22 degrees Sunday night, Oct. 10.

Barjenbruch said there would be a break in the weather Sunday, aside from a few morning flurries. Monday, Oct. 11, is expected to be warmer with a high of 58 degrees and dry before the next storm system rolls in, which is expected to be more powerful — although it is too early to predict snow totals.

The storm will come in Tuesday, Oct. 12, into Wednesday, Oct. 13, and again favors areas to the north, but it could bring some snow to Summit. Tuesday’s high is expected to dip to 47 degrees.

Summit County finalizes incentive details for its short-term rental conversion program

 


What’s been in the works since June is now finalized: Summit County staff recently wrapped up details on the county’s short-term rental conversion program that aims to transition units into long-term housing. The program will officially launch Friday, Oct. 15.

The last of the details were wrapped up during a Summit Board of County Commissioners’ work session meeting Tuesday, Oct. 5. Summit County Housing Director Jason Dietz proposed various incentives for the first few phases of the program, all of which had unanimous support from the county commissioners.

The first phase of the program will last until Dec. 15 or until the program gets 15 conversions, whichever comes first. This phase offers the highest dollar amount in incentives, mainly because the county is striving to get units converted as quickly as possible before the beginning of ski season.

Dietz said winter typically relies on a larger workforce than any other time of the year, so it’s crucial to get at least some units converted before the season kicks into high gear.

According to his presentation, incentives are based on six-month and yearlong leases. For a six-month studio lease, the incentive starts at $5,500 and goes up to $13,000 for a three-bedroom or larger. For a yearlong lease, the incentive starts at $9,000 and goes up to $24,000 for a three-bedroom or larger. All of these payments will be split into two payouts. The first will be given in the first 30 days of the lease, and the second half will be given at the end of the lease.

Once the initial rollout of the program is complete, the incentives drop. Dietz said this move is strategic.

Summit County to host town halls on short-term rentals and housing Oct. 7 and 14

 

Summit County has been busy with various short-term rental measures: It recently implemented a temporary moratorium on licenses, it’s launching a program to convert some of them into long-term housing units and it’s tweaking its short-term rental program before the year’s end.

So much has happened that the county is hosting two in-person town halls to get the community’s feedback. The first will take place from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7, in the Blue River Room at the Summit County Library’s north branch, located at 651 Center Circle in Silverthorne. The second is from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14, at the Board of County Commissioners’ hearing room, located at 208 Lincoln Ave. in Breckenridge.

The purpose of these meetings is to discuss potential tweaks to the short-term rental program, which could include new overlay zone districts and different types of licenses. The meetings will also focus on a pilot program where the county will provide incentives for property owners to convert their units into long-term housing for the local workforce.

Breckenridge nears completion of new parking structure

 


Ski season is approaching, and Breckenridge will be able to better handle the additional traffic this year with the opening of its new parking structure.

The town is nearing the end of construction on its new parking garage at the South Gondola Lot off North Park Avenue. It’s scheduled to open Nov. 12, the same day Breckenridge Ski Resort plans to fire up its lifts for the resort’s 60th anniversary season.

Once completed, the development will feature 958 parking spaces between the structure and surface lot, an addition of about 400 new spots in total. The structure will also have 22 electric vehicle charging stations on the first floor, and there is capacity to add 38 more chargers should demand increase.

An end of unfettered growth for short-term rentals in Colorado’s resort communities

 

Visitors to the 13-bedroom Little Mountain Lodge above Breckenridge’s historic downtown have supported the tourist town’s economy for many years. 

They book snowmobile rides. They rent bicycles and ski. They reserve tables and rooms in local restaurants.

“All the business owners in Breckenridge who rely on visitor spending, they are getting it from my group,” said Carol Kresge, the manager of the sprawling home that was originally built as a B&B but now can be rented short-term by vacationing groups who pay as much as $4,000 a night. 

The owners of the Little Mountain Lodge could lose their ability to rent to vacationers under proposed changes to short-term rentals proposed by Breckenridge’s town council.

The town has 3,945 privately owned homes and condos that vacationers can rent. The town council, in an effort town leaders described as a way “to protect our quality of life and the fabric of our community” and “fiercely protect the character of Breckenridge,” on Tuesday unanimously approved a 2,200-property cap on so-called exempt short-term rentals in the town. Those are the homes that are not part of a larger hotel-like complex that offers a staffed front-desk and security.

Summit County planning department proposes tweaks to short-term rental license program

 


When Summit County implemented its temporary short-term rental license moratorium last month, the goal was to free up bandwidth so that county staff could tweak its short-term rental program.

According to a memo recently drafted by Summit County Senior Planner Jessica Potter, the county’s current short-term rental program was first adopted in 2018. The memo states that there was no distinction made between resort areas and neighborhood areas, and that there’s currently a “one-size-fits-all” approach when granting licenses. The memo states that this program is well suited for resort areas, but it doesn’t take into account how these licenses are impacting areas traditionally occupied by locals.

During a Summit Board of County Commissioners work session meeting on Sept. 28, Potter and her team ran through the mem and outlined a new proposal that could change the county’s program. The idea is to launch the changes before the moratorium expires in December.

The tweaks Potter introduced to the commissioners can be lumped into two major categories: First, she suggested that the county have “overlay zones” where the county is divided into resort zones and neighborhood zones.

Frisco Town Council debates future of Colorado BBQ Challenge

 


An annual Frisco tradition may come back differently in 2022. The Colorado BBQ Challenge, a Kansas City BBQ Society sanctioned competition founded 28 years ago and usually held over Father’s Day weekend, hasn’t occurred for the past two summers due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the Frisco Town Council is figuring out how exactly to have it return post-pandemic.

In May, the town of Frisco began conducting a survey for feedback on the event that is Colorado’s longest-running barbecue competition with live music, pig races, a 6K and more. The results of the survey were revealed during a Town Council work session Tuesday, Sept. 28.

There were 1,793 survey responses, which town spokesperson Vanessa Agee said was an unusually high amount compared to other surveys. The feedback, while mixed, indicated that the community is open to some change and evolution for the event.

More Aspen Photos

 


This is a photo I took just yesterday of the aspens in my backyard.  They are just beginning to change colors.  Most of the aspens around Breckenridge have already changed.  Most are yellow/gold, but you can see the red leaves on a tree in the background.

Enjoy beers, brats and more at Brecktoberfest this weekend

 


Breckenridge is trying to bring back its standard Oktoberfest as much as possible; however, the traditional beer and German food will be packaged in a slightly different format with the coronavirus pandemic still present. Instead of an open Main Street festival, this weekend’s Brecktoberfest is a ticketed affair taking place inside of the Riverwalk Center and on the venue’s lawn.

Similar to the Breckenridge Wine Classic, dispersed vendors and tables will give attendees plenty of room to enjoy food and drinks throughout the area. The Riverwalk Center will have seating inside as well as music and festive dancing at the stage.

Austyn Dineen, former spokesperson for the Breckenridge Tourism Office, said organizers hope the Main Street festival will return in 2022. Yet, she believes there is an audience for both events.

Summit County sees 1st dusting of snow down in town

 

Summit County residents woke up to early signs of winter Monday, Sept. 20 — the season’s first dusting of snow to fall as low as Breckenridge.

Paul Schlatter, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Boulder, said snow fell in Summit County above 9,000 feet. He estimated that 1 to 3 inches of snow accumulated above treeline. Schlatter said the storm that brought the frost was not a strong weather system as it only rained slightly in lower elevations and there was no precipitation east of Summit County. The rain and snow was concentrated along the Continental Divide and Western Slope, including Steamboat Springs and Aspen.

But does this bit of snow mean the peak of fall colors is over? “Not necessarily,” Schlatter said.

Florida Landlord Requires New Tenants to Get Vaccinated

 


A property owner with 1,200 units in South Florida is mandating that any new tenant over the age of 18 or any tenant wishing to renew their lease must provide proof of a COVID-19 vaccine. But even as the property owner faces fines from the city, he says he refuses to change his rule.

Santiago Alvarez, who owns the 1,200 units, says he put the requirement in place because he has had at least 12 tenants die from COVID-19. He’s also requiring all employees to get vaccinated.

“I think my decision was right, and I will defend it any way I can,” Alvarez told CNN. “If I get fined, I will go to court with it.” So far, two tenants and two employees have left due to his vaccine policies, he says. Alvarez owns eight apartment buildings in Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

The new policy could create a standoff with state officials. Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, announced a Florida Department of Health rule that bans vaccine passports, which means people will not be required to show vaccine passports as a condition of entry or service. There is a $5,000 fine for each violation.

Breckenridge passes short-term rental cap on 1st reading

 


Well, the fools on the Breckenridge Town Council have begun the process to devalue all the properties in Breckenridge as well as eventually kill our tourism business.

Those who spoke at public comment overwhelmingly opposed the move

The Breckenridge Town Council voted unanimously on first reading to pass an ordinance capping the number of nonexempt short-term rental licenses at 2,200, following nearly five hours of public comment overwhelmingly against the move.

The town also received more than 450 emails for public comment, which were shared with Town Council. Council members.

Jim Langland said the cap is government overreach, taking away private property rights with public policy, and encouraged council to send the matter to voters.

“Breckenridge is a destination town built for tourists, and they have come. And now the council is trying to limit lodging choices, giving an unfair advantage to hotels (and) timeshare companies. And the one-unit owner loses out,” Langland said. “Timeshares have hurt town and now are exempt. That’s wrong.”

Summit Mountain Rentals owner Mary Waldman asked that the cap be raised to a higher number and said that while the council members have said they “have to do something,” they have also admitted this won’t lead to a large-scale conversion back to long-term rentals. She also said much of the data the decision is being made off of includes exempt properties, which would not be affected by the cap.

“As I watched the last Town Council meeting, it broke my heart to hear you throw out numbers as you toyed with the livelihood of my staff,” Waldman said. “The very locals you want to protect (laughed as if) it was a game bidding for a lower number.”

Despite an overwhelming amount of pushback, Summit County Commissioners approve a temporary short-term rental license moratorium

 

Despite an overwhelming amount of public comment pushing back against the move, the commissioners approved the measure.

The meeting was held both virtually and in-person, and the public was allowed to comment through either means. At one point, nearly 100 attendees were tuned in via Zoom, and close to 30 members of the public visited in person.

Most of the commentators voiced their skepticism that the moratorium wouldn’t produce the results that the county desired, and some, such as Meredith and Jason Adams, of Mountain Living Real Estate, and Adam Parker, owner of property management firm Summit Luxury, declared that they didn’t think the county should have the authority to make these kinds of decisions.

“I’d like to point out the obvious,” said Adams. “Today, I’ve heard a lot of really good, thoughtful statements, and I think the overwhelming majority of them are not interested in this moratorium or don’t believe that it is the right course of action. I think that’s what I want to point out — that I understand there’s a problem here, but I really think short-term rentals are just the easy villain in this picture and that this moratorium is really not solving the problem.”

Parker acknowledged that the county and similar areas like Vail have affordable housing issues but said he believes targeting short-term rentals isn’t the answer.

“We don’t want to challenge the very nature of resort towns, which are visitors, because of a culturally common issue,” he said.

Some commentators didn’t think this measure would be successful in part because of how some use their units. Owners of short-term rental units usually purchase their properties because they’d like to use them throughout the year. If they aren’t able to rent the properties out, many of them will sit vacant.

Other commentators, such as Boulder resident Katie Davis and Karen Frisone, managing broker and owner of K.O. Real Estate in Denver, noted that some people purchase their units and short-term rent them out to help pay for their mortgage and bills.

“I have some clients right now who are actively trying to negotiate a contract on a property in unincorporated Breckenridge,” Frisone said. “It’s a multimillion-dollar property, and the lower unit is a short-term rental that they would consider using for passive income, and maybe long-term, but mostly they want to use it as a family. How you vote today is whether or not they decide to move to this area.”

To that, Lawrence said she does not think it is appropriate that the county insert itself into these matters.  So just what does Lawrence think the commissioners are doing with this new rule?  They ARE inserting themselves into these matters.

Summit County Real Estate Trends

 As postcovid life continues, many real estate enthusiasts have kept a close eye on the market. What people want in a home has shifted as well. More people than ever are continuing to work from home and thereby feel new needs, wants, and desires in a home. Coupled with low interest rates there has been an insatiable demand in the housing market. Below are a few of the most helpful statistics in comparing
in 2021 versus 2020. 

  • There has been a 39.1% increase in home sale prices from 2020 to 2021

  • The average medium home sale price is $915,000

  • Average days on market in 2021 is only 11 days compared to 36 days in 2020

  • August 2020 had 104 home sales compared to only 59 home sales in August 2021

What this information can tell us is that there is still a strong demand for homes for sale and buyers are willing to pay a hefty premium. August is historically a low volume sales month for home sales. As kids go back to school many families are not looking to make a big move this time of year unless it is absolutely necessary. However, the lower number of home sales this particular August is simply due to low inventory. There is an abundance of buyers and homes are selling, faster than ever! 

It is a fabulous time to be a seller if you are considering selling your home. The “bubble bursting” that many conservative buyers are waiting for is simply not happening. Home sale prices continue to rise, as inventory remains historically low. If you need helping finding the perfect home for your family please feel free to reach out to our team. We understand how difficult it can be navigating this unique real estate market.

Housing demand is greater than ever but Colorado is building fewer homes than expected. Here’s why.

 


The industry has been dealing with labor issues since recovery began from the Great Recession. After the housing bubble popped after 2007, construction workers nationwide left the business. In Colorado, the state shed 59,000 construction jobs between 2007 and 2011, according to the state Department of Labor and Employment. Many workers retired early. Some never returned. 

But there was also a lost generation of potential workers who never even considered a career in construction, said Bernard M. Markstein, chief economist with Markstein Advisors who follows construction trends.

“We’ve got a society that (thinks), ‘Mama, don’t let your children go into construction,’” Markstein said. “Construction is seen as a dirty, dangerous occupation with low pay and that’s not at all true. Construction pays higher than average. (Younger workers are) going to college and going into what we generally call white collar jobs.”

In March, Associated Builders and Contractors, a trade association representing the non-union construction industry, looked at data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and said it needed another 430,000 craft professionals this year. For every $1 billion in new construction spending, the industry estimates it needs 5,700 new workers. And according to Markstein Advisors, construction spending is likely to reach $1.45 trillion in 2021, up 1.3% from 2020.

Summit County’s short-term rental license switch must be made by the end of September

Owners of short-term rentals in unincorporated Summit County will need to switch their permits over to licenses before the end of the month.

According to a blog post from the county, all permits issued before July 1 must be converted to a license before Sept. 30. If a permit has an expiration date of Sept. 30, 2021, then owners will also need to submit a $75 fee to keep their license active for the next year.

To switch over from a permit to a license, owners will need to complete the online process on the county’s website. Those with questions should call 970-668-4186 or email str@summitcountyco.gov

The Rush to Limit Short Term Rentals - Now Summit County is considering it

 

Short

The Summit Board of County Commissioners next week will consider placing a moratorium on the issuance of new short-term rental licenses in unincorporated parts of the county.

Housing was again the main topic of conversation at the board’s meeting Tuesday, Sept. 7, as officials continue to seek out solutions to address the county’s lack of attainable workforce housing. In time, the county plans to roll out a package of incentives to try to entice short-term rental owners to convert their properties to long-term rentals, part of an ongoing discussion surrounding the “opportunity zone” concept officials have been discussing for the past few months.

As county staff works to iron out the details of what those incentives could look like, and which neighborhoods make the most sense to target, officials say a moratorium on new licenses would give them a chance to breathe and focus on the task ahead.

5 Reasons Today’s Housing Market Is Anything but Normal

 


There are many headlines out there that claim we’re reverting to a more normal real estate market. That would indicate the housing market is returning to the pre-pandemic numbers we saw from 2015-2019. But that’s not happening. The market is still extremely vibrant as demand is still strong even while housing supply is slowly returning.

When…

  1. Mortgage rates are near historic lows
  2. Price appreciation is at historic highs
  3. Housing inventory is less than half of the normal amount
  4. The time it takes to sell a home is cut in half, and
  5. There are twice as many offers on each house

…it’s hard to say we’re in a normal market.

Breckenridge short-term rental owners concerned license cap will decrease property values

 


Please write our Mayor at:   mayor@townofbreckenridge.com and let him know what your feelings are about the proposed cap on short term rentals.  Such a cap WILL effect all our property values in a negative way.  If enough of us contact him and express our concerns perhaps the Town Council will come to it's senses and not pass such a draconian measure. 

Here's the story in today's Summit Daily news concerning this matter:

Breckenridge is looking to cap short term rentals but local vacation homeowners are concerned about how this could impact their property values.

Property owners have expressed understanding of the issue in residential areas, but many noted that there are areas and complexes in town designed to be high-density, short-term lodging for vacationers. In particular, owners along the Four O’Clock corridor fear the impact of licenses being nontransferable at sale.

Abby Epperson, a Realtor who owns a unit and lives full time at the Park Place Plaza condominiums on the corner of Four O’Clock Road and Park Avenue, said the town should consider exempting this corridor. While she lives in Breckenridge for most of the year, she short-term rents her home whenever she is away. She said the inability of a new owner to get a short-term rental license will decrease the value of all the properties at the base of the ski area.

“What the council is proposing is a serious, purposeful devaluation in our property prices,” Epperson said

Here’s why experts believe the U.S. is in a housing boom and not a bubble

 


The U.S. housing market has been an unlikely beneficiary from the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the pandemic, home prices have climbed at a record pace. The median price for an existing home reached over $363,000 in June 2021, a 23.4% year-over-year increase.

“You can see in just basically the last 15 months or so, we’ve seen a dramatic acceleration in home price growth to levels we haven’t seen in decades,” CoreLogic chief economist Frank Nothaft said.

However, according to most experts, the market is shaping up to look more like a boom rather than a bubble.

“We say bubble because we can’t believe how much prices have gone up,” CNBC real estate correspondent Diana Olick said. “A bubble tends to be something that’s inflated that could burst at any minute and change and that’s not really the case here.”

While speculation certainly is a factor, the main cause for the current housing demand is low mortgage rates. At the start of the pandemic in March 2020, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate sat at 3.45%. By July of this year, that number had dropped to 2.87%.

Supply is also an issue. According to the National Association of Realtors, the U.S. has underbuilt its housing needs by at least 5.5 million units over the past 20 years. That’s a stark comparison to the previous housing bubble in 2008 when overbuilding was the issue.

“So we’ve got a boost in demand that’s due to record low mortgage rates and we’ve got a shrinkage of supply,” Nothaft said. “So between more demand and less supply, prices are up and they’re up at the fastest pace since the 1970s.”

Ice Castles in talks to build attraction outside Silverthorne



 There won’t be any ice castles in Dillon this winter, but the attraction still might find its way back to Summit County.

Dillon announced  that the ice castles typically constructed on top of Town Park wouldn’t return for the upcoming winter, primarily as a result of major capital improvements at the park, which include a new multiuse field where the castles have been erected the past three years.

“At the time, what was going on was there was work being done on elements of the Town Park Master Plan, and the investment to the Town Park versus the investment that would be needed from Ice Castles for their infrastructure, the waters were just becoming a little murky there based on timing and the different needs of the project,” Dillon’s Marketing and Communications Director Kerstin Anderson said.

Silverthorne Town Manager Ryan Hyland said Wednesday, Sept. 1, that Silverthorne officials have been in talks with Ice Castles to bring the attraction to a parking lot near the Dillon Reservoir dam, just outside of town limits. There are a lot of players taking part in those conversations. Hyland said the lot is in unincorporated Summit County, owned by Denver Water, leased by Silverthorne and subleased to the Outlets at Silverthorne, an agreement he said has been in place since the 1980s.
