Breckenridge, Colorado offers some of the best real estate opportunities to be found anywhere in the country. This web site will show you why so many people have made the decision to purchase property in Breckenridge. It contains just about all the information you need to make an informed decision about purchasing Breckenridge real estate. Given the national real estate slump, you may wonder how Breckenridge and Summit County real estate values are holding up. The answer is "pretty darn well!" Resort real estate is unique and largely unaffected by national real estate trends, though the lending requirements have become a little more rigid. Property values continue to rise, albeit at a somewhat slower pace than has been the case historically. There has been only a slight increase in property foreclosures, mostly related to time-shares or interval ownership. This is because a large portion of resort real estate is owned by absentee owners who can easily afford expensive second homes. Another factor affecting values is that Breckenridge, especially, and Summit County, in general, are approaching "buildout". This means that all the land available for development has been developed. Once this happens, as has been true in places like Aspen, real estate values skyrocket.

For locals, living surrounded by the awesome, pristine Rocky Mountains is a dream come true. But about 60 percent of the properties in Summit County are owned by absentee owners who purchased property for second homes, investment income by rentals or appreciation, or eventual retirement. There are important tax and financial ramifications regarding the intended use of second home ownership. These issues are summarized in Information on Second Home Purchasing in Breckenridge and Summit County. A principal reason for owning property in Breckenridge is that it is a quaint, Victorian town that evolved into a ski town. Most other ski towns were built as ski areas, and then the towns around them ultimately evolved. The history of Breckenridge dates back to the mid-1800's when the town was formed along the banks of the beautiful Blue River as a gold-mining center and seat of Summit County. It wasn't until 1961 that Breckenridge became a ski area, and in 1973, the opening of Eisenhower Tunnel through the Continental Divide provided easy access from Denver. Although the permanent population of Breckenridge is less than 3,000 people, during ski season and mid-summer, there can be over 25,000 people in town as visitors arrive to ski and partake of everything Summit County has to offer. Owning property in Breckenridge is owning a way of life like none other in the world. The culture bought into is, not coincidentally, a good investment as this web site will show. For folks thinking about retiring in Summit County, infrastructure is in place to cater to your needs. St. Anthony's Summit Medical Center, located between Frisco and Breckenridge, offers a full array of medical services, including those related to seniors. Medical practitioners in just about every specialty are available in Summit County, without having to go to Denver. In addition, there are loads of adult activities available, from biking and hiking clubs, to skiing groups, to garden clubs -- everything you could want in your retirement life.
