Thanks for visiting my web site. Here you can find comprehensive information on Breckenridge, Frisco and Summit County, Colorado Real Estate. I have 17 years experience in this market. I am a consistent top producer in the Breckenridge RE/MAX office. Trust me to help you with your Breckenridge and Summit County real estate needs, whether its a luxury home, mountain cabin, ski lodge, building lot, vacant land, ski-in/out condo or townhome. Given the national real estate slump, you may wonder how Breckenridge and Summit County are holding up. Because this is such a unique market we've noticed very little decrease in property values, and there's only been a slight increase in foreclosures, mostly related to time share or interval ownership properties. Property values continue to rise, albeit at a slower rate than has historically been the case, and, because a majority of real estate here is owned as second homes for mostly absentee owners, our foreclosure rate is very low. Actually, in today's market climate, this could be a perfect time to purchase property before prices begin to escalate again. Contact me for more information. Click Here For Market Statistics. FLASH: There are a couple of new, high-end developments in Breckenridge. Check them out.

About Summit County
Located about 60 miles west of Denver on I-70, smack dab in the middle of Colorado's glorious Rocky Mountains, Summit County is in a valley surrounded on the east and south sides by the Continental Divide, and on the west side by Vail Pass. Entrance to Summit County from Denver is through the Eisenhower Tunnel, a mile and a half long tunnel through the Continental Divide some 11,500 feet above sea level. Read about this amazing, highest tunnel in the world.
Hoosier Pass defines the southern edge of Summit county, about 10 miles south of Breckenridge. It, too, is a pass over the Continental Divide which is the watershed separating water flows to the Atlantic Ocean on the east side and the Pacific Ocean on the west side. Hoosier Pass, at 11,500 feet, forms the headwaters of the Blue River, which, when it flows out of Dillon Reservoir after a scenic passage through the middle of Breckenridge, is one of the most beautiful and pristine, Gold Medal trout fisheries in the country.
Traveling along Interstate 70, the western edge of Summit County is Vail Pass, at about 10,600 feet. Some 15 miles beyond Vail Pass is the city of Vail which hosts the most popular ski area in North America.
Breckenridge, at almost two miles above sea level (9,600 feet), is the county seat for Summit County, and home of one of the most visited ski areas in the country. There are three other ski areas -- Keystone, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin -- in Summit County, and Vail Resort is about 25 miles west.
Frisco, Dillon and Silverthorne are principal towns in Summit County and provide a variety of real estate opportunities which I would be happy to help you with. Peruse my web site and then contact me for that dream resort or investment property.
REAL ESTATE IN SUMMIT COUNTY IS BOOMING
The last few years in Summit County have been absolutely amazing in terms of real estate appreciation. Sales have been increasing in double-digit numbers, and owners are seeing large increases in the value of their property. The economic climate of 2008-9 has slowed down the rate of appreciation, but even in this climate, values are holding up pretty well among most property types.
The popularity of the area is due to its unbeliveable beauty, its location and its winter and summer activities. Real estate in Summit County is approaching buildout which means that all the property that can be develped is getting close to being developed. When this happens, you can expect prices to 'go through the roof'. This will likely happen within the next 8-10 years.
If you want to learn more about this phenomenon, please contact me. I'm happy to share my expertise with you.
By the way, if you need an inexpensive website for your real estate listings, go here. One of the features I offer sellers is the creation of their own, private listing website. Here is an example of one of my current listings.

Animal House >Houses and Pets
Many real estate agents are animal lovers and have pets of our own, but we have all shared stories of having our fingers or ankles nipped by furry creatures during a showing. We have opened the front door to the home we are showing only to have a purebred Persian kitten scoot toward the nearest busy street.
If you have pets and are going to put your house on the market, be sure to work out the showing arrangements carefully. It is important for us to be able to communicate to our colleagues what to expect when they pass through your front door. It is rare for pets to pose significant problems, but big dogs can be menacing. Buyers or agents may be allergic or even a little phobic about dogs or cats.
It is difficult to get a buyer excited about your home if he or she is sneezing continuously or unwilling to cross the threshold because your dog is barking away intruders. If your agent knows there might be a problem, they can arrange ahead of time for you to walk the dog, vacuum the cat dander or do whatever is necessary to make sure that the showing goes smoothly.
