3 Simple Reasons to Invest in Real Estate in Summit County

Posted by admin on July 20, 2018

The first and most important rule of real estate is, of course, location, location, location! Investment properties are only as profitable as the area in which they are located. The true value of a wonderful house, apartment, or business space is largely dependent on where it is situated within the community.

If you are looking to find the perfect property and the ideal location - look no further! Summit County is one of the most coveted locations for investing in real estate due to its host of charming towns, year-round activities, and range of property options. Favorable market trends highlight the fact that there is no time like the present to take advantage of the wealth of real estate opportunities in Summit County.

Skiing in Summit County draws visitors from around the world with spectacular scenery and challenging terrain. The ski industry has fueled the real estate boom in the area for years, and shows no signs of letting up.

1) Home to Great Ski Resorts and Diverse Winter Sports Options that are Internationally Renowned

One of the most popular associations with Colorado, and for a good reason, is the multitude of great ski resorts, lodges, and ways to participate in diverse winter sports. Towns like Frisco and Breckenridge draw international visitors to the area to take advantage of the world-renowned ski resorts and lodges.

Frisco is known as a skiing mecca with seven ski resorts located within thirty minutes of the town’s main street. This wealth of ski opportunities mark Frisco as a truly unique locale that grabs the attention of national and international visitors, as well as year-round residents.

Breckenridge, nestled at the eastern base of the iconic Tenmile Range, is a hot spot for skiing and other winter sports. The Breckenridge Ski Resort boasts high-speed lift access to five peaks spanning 2,908 acres that are ideal for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities.

Even if you are not an avid skier or snowboarder, tubing, snowshoeing, and even sleigh rides are some great winter activities that highlight the high alpine landscape of Summit County towns. As these acclaimed ski resorts and other winter attractions draw more and more vacationers to the area, the value of nearby properties continue to grow. Annual traffic through these resorts sparks the overall economy of the area and helps businesses to flourish.

This economic health, stimulated by the tourism industry, is mirrored in the profitability of the current real estate market of the area, verifying that this is a prime time to invest in the real estate of the area.

2) A Wealth of Warm Weather Activities and Attractions that Draw Visitors Year-Round

Unlike many vacation spots that are limited to just one season, Summit County is an all-weather destination that is great for tourists and residents alike. From scenic drives and fishing to museums and historical attractions, during the warmer months, there are plenty of activities to take advantage of that highlight this locale as an ideal spot to invest in real estate.

The scenic views of Breckenridge are just as breathtaking when the typical layer of snow has shed, making way for hiking trails, bike paths, and lush spots to relax and take in nature. Frisco also has just as many attractions for the warmer months such as fall festivals and summer festivities like the many 4th of July celebrations.

As Summit County becomes more and more well known as a year-round getaway destination, the value of real estate in the area continues to mirror this trend. With more parks, resorts, music venues, restaurants, and other businesses opening in the area, the value of real estate in Summit County continues to increase and the market becomes more and more competitive.

3) Favorable Market Trends and Positive Outlooks for the Future

Within the past year, home values have increased by over eight percent, with this increase expected to continue at about the same rate over the next year. This spike in the market value of real estate in Colorado has been increasing steadily for about the last five years, indicating the relative stability of the market.

Additionally, the amount of foreclosures and delinquent mortgages is far lower than average national rates, also highlighting the health of the real estate economy in Summit County. According to Zillow, the overall market health of Colorado is rated as very healthy, with a 9.8 out of 10 on their scale.

The average amount of days that a home is on the market in Colorado is just over a month, according to Zillow, which is notably lower than the national average of just over two months.

What Our Clients Have to Say

"Todd did a great job of showing available properties in our price range and explaining the market to us, but the real work started after we were in contract. They did a phenomenal job of helping us navigate all the obstacles of purchasing an out-of-state home. I can’t thank them enough for their assistance." - Michael Sizelove

 

'We had the pleasure of working with Todd from the Wolf Team in our purchase of real estate in Frisco. We had tight time constraints and were working from out of state in purchasing a property. Todd did an excellent job objectively assessing our needs for price and value in the area. He went above and beyond to vet numerous properties prior to our arrival. Upon our arrival, we were quickly able to evaluate options and make an informed purchase decision. Todd was more interested in putting our short and long-term needs first before making a quick sale. Todd's follow-up after the sale has also been exceptional. He has made sure all is well after the sale and also let us know his help is available for issues beyond our purchase. I highly recommend Todd and the Wolf Team." - Paul Stewart

 

"Great team!!! Either Kouri or Todd get back to me as soon as they are by their phone. I always enjoy working with them.!!" - Arnette Schouten

She has been in the area since the late 1970s, so she has tremendous familiarity with Summit County properties as they exist today and their history of development. Kouri complements her familiarity with Summit County with great competency that, for us, translated into savings in our pocket. She readily puts her tireless energy at work for her clients, which helped build a long-term relationship with us and repeat business without hesitation. She's the best in Summit County!"  -User 0571849 via Zillow.com

 

"She listed our home. She made several suggestions on changes to be made to our home which would encourage showings. She had multiple showings almost every week. She works with her son, which actually provided us with 2 agents! She kept us updated on sales in the area. She assisted us with finding people to keep the home very presentable, including snow removals, house cleaning services, and watering of flowers." -LCFobes via Zillow.com

 

"Kouri went above and beyond to help us purchase a home from a thousand miles away, after only one visit to town. She drove us around in the snow and tromped through houses as they were being built and made special Saturday appointments with architects and builders. We are thrilled with Kouri and will definitely be calling her again for any future real estate needs." -BabsWood via Zillow.com
