Keystone Resort A lot of folks know about the Breckenridge Ski Resort, but not everyone wants to live in one of the busiest ski towns in Colorado. In fact, the setting of this home is quite the opposite. You take a drive over Swan Mountain Road from Breckenridge. Be sure to take a stroll at Sapphire Point for amazing views around Summit County, and then head towards the original base area, the stables and the Keystone golf course. From there, you have to drive through some residential streets that hug the golf course until you reach the area where the home is situated. The Keystone Resort is a family friendly ski area that has a few gondola to help spread skiers and snowboarders across three peaks and valleys that offer groomers to cruise and learn on, bump runs and challenging tree runs in The Outback. In the summer months, visitors and locals can explore the mountain on foot, on bike and for those advanced bikers there is a downhill mountain biking course to try out. Living in Keystone, Colorado What’s it like to live in Keystone? Well, you have a handful of restaurants, bars and smaller grocery stores. The bigger ones are just a short drive away in Frisco and Silverthorne, but you can find most of what you need in Keystone, or throughout Summit County. And, like the other towns, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, Denver is a relatively short drive away. But, Keystone would be a paradise of a smaller resort setting with amenities like emergency health services not too far away. A new center was built and is operational in the Dillon area, less than a half hour drive. Log Cabin Lifestyle The home feels like a true getaway with the rustic logs and expansive natural views. This charming rustic log home is everything you would imagine a legacy mountain home should be, complete with warm touches like the river stone fireplace, antler inspired decor and light hunting lodge theme. Leave a Legacy For Your Family This home is one of those special places that can be a lasting part of your family. It can be used by generations throughout the year and with the right planning and strategy, you can rent it out when the family isn’t using it. This will allow some of the expenses of a mountain home to be offset. Ask us about options for short term rental investment opportunities near the Keystone Resort that are more ski in ski out types of properties versus this set back, out of the way location. Some changes are still happening around the county and some neighborhoods have restrictions and some even have waiting lists. And, add to the fact that Keystone is the process of working out the details of becoming its own town and is moving away from Summit County government oversight. The Secret Room This house also has a fun secret room, halfway down the stairs on the left, which can be a playroom or a man cave, depending on the type of usage that works best for the family. It pulls flush against the wall and has a hidden handle to pull it shut. Outdoor Living Spaces This home has a deck outside the great room on the main level, but also has a lower level lounge that is protected by the deck above it, which makes for a private and a spot to hang out while you cool off from being in the hot tub, located a few steps away. Multiple Bedroooms for Families and Large Groups There is a primary bedroom right off the main level’s great room, and an upstairs bedroom as well as two lower level bedrooms. Rental Company Home Description I like how the rental company described the home when advertising to guests, so I’m going to include it here. It is as follows: This warm, cozy, and quiet custom log home on the edge of national forest overlooking Swan Mountain and Baldy Peak is an unbeatable place for a mountain getaway. Just over 4 miles to the Keystone ski lifts and a half-mile to Keystone Golf Course, this is a perfect blend between accessibility and quiet serenity. Giant British Columbia logs hug every room. Radiant in-floor heating and 3 gas fireplaces just add to the elements of warmth. An open concept main living area boasts soaring ceilings, large windows with a walk-out to a large wrap-around deck and Weber Grill. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and stone arch in the kitchen show stones pulled from the nearby Blue River. A flat screen with cable, cozy seating, a large stocked kitchen with commercial style 6-burner gas stove, and beautiful dinning table for 8 make it a space you will never want to leave. Unless of course you are wandering up the log stairs to the entertaining loft and first en-suite…or down to the lower level with another giant entertaining room with a fireplace, flat screen, wet bar, poker table, and two more beautiful en-suites. The main-level master has its own fireplace, private deck access, and an expansive master en-suite with large jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and double sinks. The giant wrap around deck and a new outdoor hot tub face vast open space, Swan Mountain, and Baldy Peak. The summer time offers an endless playground. Sit on one of several patios or decks with your morning coffee. Hike right out the back yard on amazing trails. Head to the stables right within the neighborhood for a Horseback ride against the backdrop of the continental divide. Swim in the neighborhood pool, or head to the in-neighborhood award wining restaurant. Contact Details for a Private Showing Thanks for check out this home and the potential for it to become part of your family’s legacy. We are happy to show it in private, so please use the CONTACT page to send a message and to have any questions answered. Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.
What’s in Store for 2024 and the Breckenridge Real Estate Market Posted on December 20, 2023 - 5:33 pm by Stacy Sanchez What’s in Store for 2024 and the Breckenridge Real Estate Market Everyone wants to know What’s in Store for 2024 and the Breckenridge Real Estate Market, so we’re going to speculate and look at some data and opinions of what may come to be. And, of course, no one has a crystal ball, but we can look at long term trends, and apply what’s happening locally and make some guesstimates from there. Prices Held and There was No Market Crash in 2023 While many thought fears of a recession and ongoing inflation (which is decreasing) would dramatically decrease home prices, that’s not exactly what happened. There were definitely markets that saw some big price reductions, but as we talked about in our previous market opinion, we believe that our Breckenridge and Colorado Real Estate market are a bit insulated from general and national trends which tend to be more representative of urban and high desnity areas. The Breckenridge and Summit County real estate markets are typically second homes and are not a must have for families relocation for work, but are usually a very specific choice for lifestyle choices and personal reasons. Many want that vacation property near a world class ski resort, and that’s what many get when they purchase a home for sale in Breckenridge. 2024 Forecasted Trends from Zillow and Redfin Let’s start with this article from Zillow titled, Zillow’s 2024 Housing Market Predictions, which then has a summary of Zillow predicts more homes for sale, improved affordability in 2024. And, while we normally don’t like to share these big trend type of articles, we know that these articles are what’s being repeated in the major media outlets and what you’ll hear the most about. So, let’s list some of their predictions and what they say might happen next year. n 2024, Zillow economists predict home buyers will have more options and a bit more affordability breathing room — but only a bit — after the inventory crunch and mortgage rates rising to 20-year highs were this year’s headline news items. According to the article, “Buying a home will remain expensive, keeping pressure on the rental market to cater to families that will be renting longer than previous generations typically were. Many of those who do buy will turn to homes that need some work, and do-it-yourself upgrades and repairs will keep new homeowners busy.“ More homes will hit the market as homeowners accept that mortgage rates aren’t falling any time soon Home buying costs will level off, giving hopeful buyers a chance to catch up The new starter home will be a single-family rental More markets will follow New York City’s lead with rental demand surging near downtowns Traditional home buyers will compete with home flippers for homes that need a little TLC Artificial intelligence will enhance the home search experience So, to understand what those bullet points mean, we can quickly go over a few items, but head on over to the article to get specific details on what the author’s thoughts are. but, we’re hearing that federal interest rates are to be dropped a few times next year, which doesn’t direclty translate over to mortgate rates, but overall trends show that there is a correlation and mortgage rates should decrease following the fed rates drop. Prices shouldn’t raise dramatically, so buyers can anticipate and plan for home purchases with more stable pricing across the market. Some families will be renting longer while the perfect home and the perfect mortgatge rate (or, at least an acceptable one) and may be in the rental market longer than previous generations. Artificial intelligence is being used in the real estate market more and more, and in a variety of ways. However, there’s no replacement for a human when it comes to generating personal opinion and details. We can easily identify AI generated content and I would hope that you do too. It will get better as these data sets grow and become more experienced, but we strive to personalize services that are unmatched and that no AI could replicate. In fact, I (Stacy) created the home images in this blog using one of several AI art generation products that exist now. So, a home you fall in love with online, may not be real at all. Redfin Believes 2024 is the Year for Buyers In this article from Redfin titled, Redfin Predicts 2024 Will Be the Year Homebuyers Catch a Break, With Home Prices Falling and New Listings Rising, The article starts off with a summary that states the following: “Listings will rise and prices and rates will fall. But high housing costs will remain a problem for young families, which will increase demand for large rentals and force President Biden to make affordability a cornerstone of his reelection bid. We’re starting to see signs of a shift toward a buyer’s market as pandemic-driven inflation takes its last gasps, mortgage rates come down and more people list their homes for sale. We expect these trends to continue in the new year, ushering in a season of hope for aspiring homebuyers. “ Prediction 1: Home prices will fall 1% Prediction 2: New listings will tick up Prediction 3: Home sales will increase and end the year up 5% Prediction 4: Mortgage rates will steadily decline–but remain above 6% Prediction 5: Change will come to the real estate industry Prediction 6: Renting will lose its stigma Prediction 7: Biden has a housing problem, which could hurt his re-election bid And while those are the quick and dirty big trends that the author is sharing, there’s more. They share that “There’s more in store for 2024: Big price declines in coastal Florida, a wave of boomerang migration, local governments enact policies to improve housing affordability.” Here’s a quick summary of the additional points, and as mentioned before, please click on the articles and read the details if you’re wondering about any further information that may be available regarding these claims. The article even ends with that “Our 2024 predictions are set against a backdrop of economic unpredictability. Our outlook could change due to uncertainty in other areas: financial market volatility, the course of the wars in Europe and the Middle East and the U.S. presidential election.“ Prices will fall a lot in some metros and rise in others People will decide where to live based on in-office policies, climate risk and affordability concerns Local governments will focus on housing affordability More homeowners will use their home as an ATM, pulling out cash to cover credit card debt and home renovations Colorado Association of Realtors Market Trends We can help families and individuals looking for that perfect place in Colorado, and I’ll end with some more specific data for you to explore. This information is provided from the Colorado Association of Realtors and the article is titled, “Buyers and sellers exercising patience as they hibernate through the winter.” A quick summary of the Summit County section includes the following, “In Summit, when comparing November 2023 to November 2022, the average sales price for single-family homes was nearing $2.3 million, which is 5.8% higher. Townhouse-condo property average sales prices were up 3.2% at $846,894. Year-to-date, the numbers are still down 1.8% for single-family homes and up 3% for townhouse-condos. Sellers received about 97.4% of their list price.“ How to Buy a Home for Sale in Breckenridge Ok, if you’ve read this far, then you must be serious about learning about the potential to owning a home in the Breckenridge area.

Will the Breckenridge Real Estate Market Crash? Posted on October 18, 2022 - 5:22 pm by Stacy Sanchez Breckenridge Real Estate and Property This article is written to help address the concerns and question, “Will the Breckenridge Real Estate Market Crash?” The opening lines of an article quickly summarizes the current activity of buying real estate in a Colorado resort town in the mountains and it links to other articles and stats that demonstrate the activity and history of the resort town real estate market. The article by the Colorado Sun is titled Buying frenzy slows but home prices remain sky-high in Colorado mountain towns. At Mountain Habitat Real Estate in Breckenridge, we work hard to provide insight into the mountain real estate market. In fact Dina has spent time on the phone discussing the current market with long-time community brokers and gained their market perspective. Please contact us to find out what she and others think about the current real estate market and whether or not the the Breckenridge Real Estate Market will crash. The number of transactions is waning as the supply of homes for sale declines, but buyers continue to pay record-setting prices for high country homes.While the number of transactions are diminishing, the purchase price of the properties is still increasing, especially in those markets where property is finite,” Renshaw said, describing how mountain-town home builders are so backed up that buyers sometimes must wait several years to build a new home on vacant land, which makes existing homes “more desirable and expensive.And cash remains king in most resort markets, where fewer home purchases are influenced by rising mortgage rates. Source: The Colorado Sun, Buying frenzy slows but home prices remain sky-high in Colorado mountain towns Price Cuts in Denver and the Front Range Some say that the mountain market follows the Denver market, but I will say that sometimes that true, and other times, it does not apply. Another article from The Colorado Sun, What’s Working: More home sellers cutting for-sale price in metro Denver, Colorado Springs, gives a reference point for how much the price cuts are for the housing market. Overall, the median cuts are minimal and less than 5%. Denver and Fort Collins both were below the national average for the median size of price cuts. But both places are increasing. The median price cut in Denver was 2.7% in June, compared with 3.3% nationwide. In spring 2021, Denver’s median price cut was 2.3% while the U.S. was 2.9%. Denver was also at a historical low when it came to the number of listings with price cuts at only 6.1% of houses. Inflation and Interest Rates We all have been hearing the constant doom and gloom of the possibility of a major recession next year and the rising interest rates. However, this has yet to play out, while certain areas of the economy can be considered in a recession already. Some experts have even backtracked saying that we might have seen the worst of inflation already. While some buyers seem to know what’s going to happen with the market and seem happy to wait until the market falls, I would be leary of that. Here’s a quote that comes from Bankrate’s article, How interest rates and economic factors impact housing. Predicting the future of the real estate market is difficult even for the experts. No one really knows how things are going to change in the future.One the one hand, interest rates have risen significantly in recent months and the Fed has not done anything to make it seem like it plans to slow down. However, housing prices have spiked in the past few years, increasing by more than 30 percent since 2020.Some believe that rising rates and an economic slowdown will force prices to fall. Others insist that inflation and reduced housing supply caused by a slowdown in new construction and institutional investors buying inventory will lead to prices holding steady or continuing to rise. Mortgage Pro Opinion – Josh Smith We met Josh as a client and have now come to work with Josh as a colleague and friend. He splits his time between Texas and Colorado and is licensed in both states and can help shed some light on the current market with the following video. Please let us know if we can help patch you through to ask Josh more questions. He’s one of a few mortgage pros we recommend potential buyers consider when working on the financial part of the equation when purchasing a Colorado home near Breckenridge. Inflation 9 26 2022Watch this video on YouTube The Looming Possibility of Recession Recession, Home Values, and Interest RatesWatch this video on YouTube Supply and Demand and Current Price Per Sq. Foot The bottom line is that there is still high demand for high country homes, albeit less than the record setting pace of the last two years that drove values up over 30% in that time. In fact, prices are as high as ever in areas, as another Colorado market resource said that Breckenridge PPSF is $945/House and $1,021/Condo, for the previous week, dated October 17, 2022. Prices Unlikely to Drop Significantly Another reason to believe that the Summit County Real Estate market is insulated from any major market crashes is an article titled, 2023 FORECAST: Colorado home values to increase in 14 markets, decline in two, where it says that there may actually be a 4.1% INCREASE in overall property values in the Breckenridge area. Click here to read that article. Another article titled “Think Home Prices Are Going To Fall? Think Again” explains a bit more about the throught process about why no major declines in prices will occur. “. . .we’re still well below normal levels of inventory and that’s why even with the pullback in demand, we still see house prices appreciating. While there is more inventory, it’s still not enough.” As a result, experts are projecting a more moderate rate of home price appreciation this year, which means home prices will continue rising, but at a slower pace. That doesn’t mean prices are going to fall. As Selma Hepp, Deputy Chief Economist at CoreLogic, says: “The current home price growth rate is unsustainable, and higher mortgage rates coupled with more inventory will lead to slower home price growth but unlikely declines in home prices.” Is it Still a Sellers’ Market? Yes, but it’s Still a Good Time to Buy We wrote an article a few months ago about why it still is a good time to buy, click here to read. Click here to read articles on the infographic below, and another on why it’s still a seller’s market, even with prices coming down a bit. Source: KCM https://www.keepingcurrentmatters.com/article/sell-now Some Highlights from the Infographic Above While buyer demand has moderated and housing supply has grown in recent months, it’s still a sellers’ market because inventory is low.The latest data shows sellers continue to benefit from serious buyers and competitive offers. In July, the average home received 2.8 offers and 39% sold over the asking price. Market Corrections and Inventory According to others, there will be NO MAJOR MARKET CRASH (10:00 in Graham Stephens video), but there may be some market corrections. But, don’t expect them be nationwide and across the board, meaning our resort mountain market may be insulated from any major market moves, as demand is still high. Therefore, the prices and overall property values MAY ACTUALLY INCREASE. Go to 7:00 to see this section and see this quote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDHSFwmAdwg&ab_channel=GrahamStephan Graham Stephan, a real estate agent and investor, suggests the following: Shop Your Mortgage Rate – Doesn’t hurt to ask, and you can always refinance later on. Don’t Get Too Attached to Any One Property – Do your best to negotiate and don’t be afraid to walk away. Lock in a Fixed Rate Loan – Get the longest term you can up front. Only Buy a Home You Plan to Keep For at Least 7 – 10 Years – Allows you to ride out any market fluctuations until they rise again to all new highs. Where are the Buyers? Patiently Waiting, or Just Living Life I’ve watched videos and read more than a few articles, and I’ve gotten the general feel that no one really knows what’s going to happen. It’s simply all speculation. Of course, you can look at big trends and some indicators that may lead to generalized actions in urban areas, but living in the mountains has taught me that those kinds of articles and videos don’t apply to the mountain communities. My opinion was recently reflected in the video from Graham Stephan, says that buyers may simply be doing the same, reading and watching, and holding off to see what happens through the beginning of the year. Then, they will know what happened with elections and which direction policy may be heading and how it could affect their assets, investments and how to move forward. 4 Reasons Why it’s Easier to Buy Now than 6 Months Ago You Have More Time To Make a Decision – Previously you had to make an offer immediately or after one showing. There are More Options – 6 months ago there was less inventory and you had to settle for what was available in the market. You Can Keep Your Contingencies – Before you likely had to remove all your contingencies for an offer to be considered, let alone accepted. Seller Credits – Previously you had to make an offer, way over asking, and you didn’t get a seller’s credit, whereas now you can possibly get credits to help with closing costs or to help bring down your interest rate.

Breckenridge Home For Sale: 626 Tordal Way Posted on June 24, 2021 - 1:06 pm by Stacy Sanchez This article is about a new Breckenridge Home For Sale: 626 Tordal Way, which is located in Tordal Estates, a neighborhood at the base of Hoosier Pass, south of Breckenridge. This area is a mix of longtime locals and second homeowners, some of which rent out their property. This lot and home sit back amongst a strand of large mature trees, some of which were felled and used in the construction of the home. Click here to see the MLS Listing – ID S1027682 The owner-builder has created a new build, using only a few items from the original house, so this new listing is over 90% new construction. We are listing it with time to still choose and / or change proposed and planned tile and finishes throughout the home. Breckenridge Home For Sale – 626 Tordal Way Mountain Living and the Colorado Outdoor Lifestyle A family that is dreaming of a mountain home that allows an outdoor lifestyle will be hard pressed to find something more appealing than this location. Numerous trails are found in the Blue River, south Breckenridge, area including the popular east ridge route of Quandary peak (which can be seen from the home), as well as McCullough Gulch, Mohawk Lakes and the Blue River trail. Other trails can be found at the top of Hoosier Pass, or even near the Spruce Creek trailhead, which leads to the 10th Mountain Division hut, Francie’s Cabin. Quandary Peak – 14,265′ Van Life and Plans for an Oversized Garage The owner-builder has purchased architectural plans for a garage that will be included with the sale of the home. Or, with the purchase, the new owner can negotiate a timeline for the owner-builder to complete the proposed garage addition within the next year to accommodate a full-size van such as a Sprinter or other taller-than-average style of vehicle. There are some neighborhoods around Breckenridge that don’t even allow this style of van to be parked in the driveway, let alone be able to fit inside the garage itself! Please contact us to learn more about the drawings and this home for sale in Breckenridge! There are also plans for an upstair apartment that can be used for friends and family visiting. This allows for separate living spaces while being able to enjoy each other’s company. The driveway is flat and the drive from Breckenridge to the property is along a flat section of highway. Only the final section approaching the home has a slight incline, whereas other properties near Breckenridge can have hard to navigate spaces. This lot actually has an upper parking section that can be used for trailers and other vehicles. Click here to see the MLS Listing – ID S1027682 Exterior and Decks The home has a southern and western facing deck on the main level that takes advantage of the sun and mountain views. Large ceilings with lights make for a comfortable area to entertain, create an outdoor workspace and provide shelter from the elements. Click here to see the MLS Listing – ID S1027682 Interiors – Bedrooms and Living Spaces The builder-owner is moving towards the final completion of the home for sale at 626 Tordal Way, and we listed it recently after the insulation and drywall were installed. This allows time for the buyers to become involved with final details and selections. Exposed metal beams and rock help create a rustic modern approach to mountain living. Large windows on the west side of the home capture the local 14er, Quandary Peak, in the distance. Dina Sanchez, listing broker for this property, also has experience with interior design, the latest trends and how to make this home a modern livable space. She can also give suggestions on what may be done to your current home, if you are needing to sell a local property before putting in an offer for this one. She has helped numerous clients stage and successfully sell their mountain home to be able to transition into a new and better fit. Living Room will have a fireplace on the right. Sliding door connects to large deck. The kitchen sink will face large mature trees while the family can gather around an island. This upper level bedroom has tall ceilings and large windows. The master bedroom upstairs will have a fireplace and mountain views. A large closet, shower and toilet make up the north side of the master bathroom area. A stained glass window sits above the tub that will be great to soak in after a long day of adventuring outside. The lower level living room could accommodate more guests with a pull out couch, while nearby spaces include another bedroom, storage room, bathroom and mechanical room.

How to Buy a Property in Breckenridge, Colorado Posted on June 23, 2021 - 12:18 pm by Stacy Sanchez How to Buy a Property in Breckenridge, CO Today’s post is all about How to Buy a Property in Breckenridge, CO. If you’re not into reading an entire article, then go to our SEARCH MLS page and being your hunt for the perfect home! Yes, I’m sure you’ve heard about how tough it is to purchase a home in in Summit County, and if you haven’t, well, let’s just start by saying it’s a seller’s market. What does that mean? Well, that means that the supply is limited and buyers are choosing between limited properties and they are going for full or over listing price. CLICK HERE TO SEARCH THE MLS CLICK HERE TO SEARCH THE MLS We briefly covered this market in the Market opinion blog earlier this year, and you can find that by clicking here. The “great COVID migration” is what has been fueling this buying surge in the mountains. Everyone has realized how important lifestyle is to their everyday living and have chosen a mountain environment near Breck as their stomping grounds. Remote working near the Colorado ski resorts allowed some to live the dream of being able to ski when they could, and / or being able to purchase something that their family could enjoy while having to go to school and work remotely. Families realized that they didn’t want to be in their current situations and were able to secure an opportunity to live their dreams. Searching Available Properties and Homes in Breck Finding the right home for your family isn’t an easy task right now. The simple reason is a lot of families don’t know where to start, or what the true market is like when you get to the negotiations and putting together an offer that won’t be ignored. The first thing most will do is a simple web search to see what pops up. Unfortunately, there are many out of date web portals that share off market listings and information that may be misleading. This makes it confusing and disappointing when clients reach out and are excited about a property they found, only to discover it’s off market or has already been sold. Finding the Right Neighborhood to Fit Your Lifestyle Some families want a ski-in ski-out property to fully maximize their time while on vacation. It does take a few more minutes to drive to town, park, and hop on the bus to get to the resort. Others prefer to be further out of town where it’s a little more quiet and secluded and don’t mind the drive so that they can return to their solitude amongst the forest trees. We have been in almost every neighborhood in the Summit County towns of Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Dillon, Keystone and Silverthorne and know what trails and amenities are nearby. That allows us to match listings with the wants and needs of families looking to move to a home that meets most or all items on their checklist.
