Copper Mountain real estate is always interesting.
It doesn’t always reflect what is going on in the rest of the market in Summit County as a whole. It is almost exclusively a second home and vacation home market with few, if any, primary residences. Copper has a total of about 3,000 condos, townhomes and single family homes. Recently some multi million dollar homes have been built in the Lewis Ranch area and they will skew the average sales price when they sell.
