The weather has been incredible. It's been especially nice for this time of year. I know you will be happy to hear we got a few inches of snow last night.
November is a good time to look at condos because they are usually vacant. There's still time to own in time to enjoy the ski season.

Now that the Election is Over ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This past late summer and fall has been one of the slowest that I recall in 22 years in real estate in Summit County. It's especially noticeable because it's normally our busiest season with buyers who must have the condo for ski season.

Now the election is over. It's a good time to check out our still larger than average inventory of properties in Summit County. In general prices have held their own, but it is taking properties a lot longer to sell. There are some very motivated sellers, but not all. In general properties are selling at 2007 prices. Sellers are coming off their price by 3 to 5 %. Each situation is different, let me know what you are looking for.

Other Properties I have liked~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These aren't my listings, but I can sell them.

At Keystone some of the older complexes have nice big floor plans. Quicksilver has giant one bedroom units, the living room is spacious and the bedroom is giant. There is a unit on the market that converted the bedroom into one normal size room and one small bedroom. It's perfect for a small family. This is for sale for $310,000. Quicksilver has indoor pool and hot tub. The locations is on the Keystone bus route and just a short walk to the Lakeside Village.

I had a customer ask me about ski in ski out in Breckenridge. I searched all of the units available and found what looks like a screaming deal in Breckenridge at Sundowner Condos. Two bedroom 2 and a half bath over 1300 square feet for $499,000 when the same size unit sold for $568,000 a year ago. Sundowner is on the 4 O'Clock Run in Breckenridge and a block and a half from Main Street. Garage parking, pool and hot tub.

Another deal is a two bedroom in Buffalo Ridge near the top of Wildernest. This is a two bedroom one and 3/4 bath with big southern view for $270,000. I sold a similar unit in September for $292,000. Furnished and ready to go. Clubhouses with indoor pools, hot tubs, game rooms, and more.

Frisco townhome just a couple blocks off Main Street for $339,500. If we were in a different market this unit wouldn't have lasted the eight days it's been on the market. Two bedroom two bath. 850 square feet.

Copper Mountain Resort, right at the Super Bee lift and golf course. One bedroom at Foxpine Inn for $290,000. ground floor with no stairs, updated and fully furnished.

On a Personal Note ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've entered the 21st century with the purchase of an iphone! Now I can email you a picture of a property as soon as I see it if you would like. Text messaging is possible too. But the coolest thing is now Google Earth can be downloaded to the iphone. I can tell that I was at the office the day the picture was taken. Amazing!
