Even more change…The real estate sides closed for Summit County are down 42% through the third quarter! The transaction sides closed are down throughout the county in every town by double digits from minus 32 to minus 51. The sales volume is down throughout as well with the highest decrease taking place in Frisco at -54% and the lowest in the county being Silverthorne at minus 32%.
It is amazing to think that we are in a 1.2 billion dollar market. Yet, even with so much still selling there is no doubt that we are in a very different market today in Summit County than what we have had in the past. We have had our minor up and down cycles from the late 80’s through 2007 – but, nothing like what is happening today in 2008.

If you are thinking of getting involved in Summit County real estate (Breckenridge, Frisco, Copper, Keystone, Silverthorne, Dillon) now may be a much better time than waiting until as activity is picking up. The inventory is good and not nearly at record levels we have seen in the past allowing a buyer the abilitiy to pick the property they really want - without worrying too much that someone will buy it out from under them while they consider purchasing. Although I am starting to see that happen now on select properties.
And, here is a graph of what could happen based upon current stats, historic stats and historic trends in our future market - have a look here.
