More mind blowing stats!
Trulia is a national real estate blog, and look at what they have to say about Breckenridge and ski areas in general…
This month’s Trulia Trends identifies the top five most popular ski resort towns favored by mountain lovers across the country.
They were:
- Breckenridge, CO
- Park City, UT
- Aspen, CO
- Mammoth Lakes, CA and
- Jackson, WY.
Of the five, Breckenridge had the lowest average single family list price, at $1,073,624.
Trulia states that from July 06 - Jan 07, search traffic for ski resort locations increased 2.37x above all searches on Trulia. Best time to buy a home in the snow? If home buyers want to beat the rush, Trulia search data shows that July is best.
My experience is that July is when a lot of people are searching, but that May and June are better times to do so, as you have less competition and more listings from which to choose. April and May is listing season, and the tourists come to town in July and August, so before they get here is the best time to buy.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t find something more affordable; there are still many homes under $500,000 in Breckenridge. However, there are so many high end homes well over $1M that it drives the average price up. Check out Silverthorne and Dillon for areas with a good sense of community. They are less expensive, but nice places to live, whether full time or part time.
