HOW’S THE MARKET? MARKET FORECAST 2019 Supply Undoubtedly, you are well aware that in Summit County, the $600K and under range was a “sellers” market for all of 2018. What you may not know is that inventory usually sees a build-up in the fall as demand tapers off. Fall 2018 saw a slight increase in inventory! In the under $300k range, supply is so paltry as to seemingly be headed for extinction! Early in 2019, active Listings are up 373 compared to 303 this time last year. There appears to be a bit of softening happening in the Summit County market – almost entirely in the upper, luxury price range, but under $600K is still white hot!

For Buyers, you will need to be ready – have your “head on a swivel” to be able to see and pounce on opportunities as they arise.

For most Sellers, you should enjoy competition from buyers and stronger pricing. Luxury- over about $1.2M, is showing some signs of slowing. More inventory and more price reductions.

Demand Demand for properties in Summit County is strong and we know why! People are craving some respite from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives.

Summit County has always been a place where you can come to re-charge your spirit and re-connect with those you love. According to the National Association of Realtors Investment & Vacation Home Buyers Survey 72% of all vacation owners and 71% of investment property owners believe now is a good time to buy!

Appreciation As we know, supply and demand ultimately dictate appreciation. It should come as no surprise that appreciation was greatest in the lower price ranges due to low supply. Overall, Summit County properties appreciated 9% from 2017 to 2018 (Average price increased from $699,774 in 2017 to $764,785 in 2018)

Agents We rarely talk about real estate agents – although they certainly can impact the marketplace in subtle ways. It may be of interest that there was a 6.6% increase in the number of real estate agents since last year as rookies continue to enter the field. While agents certainly don’t set the marketplace (supply and demand do) they certainly can influence the buying and selling experience.

Agent skill impacts the counsel clients receive on market behavior or not; negotiate the highest market value or not. In a changing market, it pays to

COME HOME TO SUMMIT COUNTY!

A

s we soak up Colorado’s cobalt-blue skies and magnificent starry nights, it is difficult not to

take for granted “another day in paradise”. There is

an underlying melody to life in Summit County. It is

found in the rhythms of nature, the heartbeat of a ski

racer, the babble of the river and in the whisper of the wind. Let this faint melody become the soundtrack for the best moments of your life.

When one says “Summit County”, the communities

of Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Dillon, Frisco and Silverthorne come to mind. We have cre-

ated this newspaper not only to acquaint you with real estate opportunities in these communities, but also to share with you some of what we love about Summit County. Real estate opportunities are the best they have ever been with interest rates still very low.

Rather than “home sellers”, we like to think of ourselves as “matchmakers” and we believe that there is something here for everyone, no matter what their needs, desires or dreams. We hope you use this newspaper as a tool for your real estate purchase in Summit County, an that it introduces you to the luster and vibrancy of Summit County.

We believe that your purchase of real estate in Summit County should be more than a “tour” of homes where you see so many properties that you can’t distinguish between the first one on the list and the last; a tour that leaves you feeling like a tourist, confused and undecided. Our approach to selling real estate is different. In addition to being devoted real estate professionals, it is our desire to share with you the details that make Summit County like no place else on earth. Not only are we excited to explore with you

your ideas of what makes a house a home, but along the way perhaps we’ll share with you the story of the day it snowed ducks on I-70, give you the “straight scoop” on local schools, or answer your questions about how to find Heeney and why in world there is a “Tick Fest” there every summer. We’ll share with you the hidden places, back roads and little nooks and crannies that are rarely seen or talked about.

And, if selling your property is a priority, you won’t find a more “tuned in” and successful team to work with. If you want more money in your pocket, a faster sales time and a hassle free experience, call Summit Real Estate. We think you’ll discover, along with more than a thousand other families, that sometimes the best things in life really do come in small packages. It would be our pleasure to serve you.

SILVERTHORNE – THE GATEWAY TO SUMMIT COUNTY

SILVERTHORNE PUTS NEW REGULATIONS ON SHORT-TERM RENTALS

BY ELI PACE

S

ilverthorne became the latest Summit County government to enact tighter regulations on short-term rentals with town council approving a series of new rules on second reading.

Included in them are occupancy caps and the requirement “a responsible agent” be able to address complaints within one hour 24/7, unless a complaint comes in between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., at which time the agent will have only 30 minutes to address the issue. Multiple failures to do so could result in an owner losing their licenses for two years.

The town is also creating a new licensing process that requires each rental to secure a unique business license, rather than allowing multiple properties to operate under a single license. Rentals will also have to post those license numbers in all their advertisements. According to the town, this helps identify properties that have not obtained the proper license and are not remitting the proper sales and lodging taxes back to the town.

There will also be new fees, ranging from $100$300 based on the number of bedrooms inside the

rental. The new fee structure isn’t designed to make

money, only cover the town’s costs of administering the program, officials said.

Occupancy caps have been one major point of contention as individual governments across Summit County have sought to better regulate short-term rentals recently. Silverthorne hasn’t shied away for them, opting to limit short-term rentals to

two guests per bedroom plus two. That means a

four-bedroom home can sleep at most 10 people.

The number of bedrooms inside a rental will be

determined by information on file at the Summit County Assessor’s Office.

In many ways, Silverthorne’s ordinance runs parallel to others already enacted or in currently the works across the county. However, Silverthorne is the only one so far to give agents a 30-minute window to address overnight complaints.

Other provisions speak to health and safety standards and potential inspections.

Like the listings seen on Airbnb.com and VRBO. com, a short-term rental is defined by Silverthorne as any home — or any room inside a home — that’s available for rent for a term of less than 30 consecutive days. According to town officials, hundreds are currently operating inside Silverthorne. The goal is to get all of them kicked over to the new licenses by the New Year.

THINKING OF BUYING A CONDO?

The towns and the county have working together closely as they each look to better regulate the booming industry in their jurisdictions. Together, they plan to set up a 24-hour countywide call center so people can phone in complaints about short-term rentals across the county. A designated “responsible agent” would then have to address those complaints within a specific timeframe or face penalties.

“We had the pleasure of working with Trisha in search for our vacation home in Dillon. We have bought and sold several homes in the past 30 years and have worked with many Realtors along the way. Trisha was by far the most hard working, knowledgeable and responsive Realtor we have ever worked with.

She was quick to respond to every question we had and worked diligently to find our dream condo. She went above and beyond in our search and in closing. We were so appreciative of her tireless work, wonder ful personality and the ease of the entire process. We are not local residents which made the search a little more difficult. However, Trisha always made it a priority to keep us infor med and was available when we were. I would highly recommend Trisha Moore for all your real estate needs.”

DILLON – FOUR SEASONS OF FUN

CHANGE IS COMING TO DILLON. THE QUESTION IS, HOW MUCH?

BY SUMMIT DAILY STAFF

A

fter years of essentially no new private construction in the area, major projects seem to be popping up with regularity. The Dillon Town Council continues its push for further development and economic revitalization.

A new hotel - the Hilton Homewood Suites - is expected to open sometime next year ahead of the 2019-20 ski season. When complete, the fourstory structure will feature more than 120 units, a 2,500-square-foot restaurant, conference room and a number of other amenities including fire pits, hot tubs, a rollout bar and more. The hotel is also meant to serve as a starting point for a revitalized downtown Dillon core, increasing tourism and foot-traffic in the town, and enticing new businesses to open in the core.

The Dillon Urgent Care & Residences — to be located

at 956 W. Anemone Trail, near the Dillon Dam Brewery — will serve as a mixed-use facility meant to address community needs in workforce housing and affordable, extended-hours medical care. The development will also tear down and replace the existing building on the property, providing a new piece of mountain architecture on an otherwise run-down patch of land.

The keystone piece of the project is a single-story, 5,000 square foot mixed-use urgent care and imaging medical facility, which includes three deed restricted residential units for its employees. The medical office is anticipated to bring affordable alternatives to emer-

gency room services to Dillon and the surrounding areas. In addition to cheaper and more convenient medical care, the facility will also boast extended

hours and will be open 365 days a year, regardless of weather.

KEYSTONE – ONE EXTRAORDINARY MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE

KEYSTONE RESORT

BY ANTONIO OLIVERO AND ELI PACE

T

hey didn’t get all dressed up for nothing.

A week of snowstorms left more than 2 feet of snow on Keystone Resort. Complemented by the resort’s snowmaking activities, it was enough to deliver the first earlier-than-expected opening day at Keystone in a decade, said Russell Carlton, a resort spokesman.

“The season’s going to be a great one,” he said. “The early season snowfall has got everyone pumped up, and we are excited to bring it in on this beautiful bluebird day two days early.”

With hundreds of other people, husband-and-wife Troy and Kendal Vaille — along with Troy’s brother Bryan Vaille — made it a point to join the midweek celebration. They dressed as a gorilla, a purple gorilla and Olaf from Disney’s “Frozen” — because Keystone is their “home mountain.”

Costumed characters is customary on opening days, as excited skiers and snowboarders mark the beginning of the 2018-19 winter season.

“After a nice long summer, it’s time to get back into the groove of the winter,” Bryan Vaille said.

The trio lives just doors down from each other in Summit Cove, and they have been in the county for 23 years now. They all said they hit every opening day they can, and, quite naturally, rode Arapahoe Basin Ski Area on Oct. 19, the day that ski area started running its first lift.

“Oh yeah, 20 years in a row on that one,” Kendal Vaille said of making A-Basin’s opening day.

T

he Frisco Historic Park & Museum is coming off a banner year, with attendance numbers reaching new heights and more people than ever choosing to engage with the town and county’s fascinating history. But as visitors rise, the museum is looking to the future to determine how best to keep the park fresh and vibrant for new guests.

In 2017 the museum set a new record with nearly 36,000 visitors, a noteworthy 15 percent increase from 2016. This year, the museum has a chance to eclipse 40,000 guests for the first time, in part because of widely successful programs like Night at the Museum and the lecture series that continue to pull strong attendance. But the growth also speaks to a larger movement in museums in recent years of

ditching the more traditional archetype for interactive and diverse programming.

“Heritage tourism in general has grown across the state over the years,” said Simone Belz, Frisco Historic Park & Museum manager. “There is a trend for people to revisit historic places and landmarks.

People are really starting to understand the value of those experiences, but museums have also changed.

They’re not the dull, dusty places with a guy behind a curtain anymore. They’re immersive, interactive, technological experiences that provide education on a multi-user level. People learn in different ways.”

Frisco’s museum is living proof of the evolution of small, heritage museums throughout the state.

Over the last few years the museum has led an effort to become more dynamic, offering interactive touchscreen exhibits, audio tours through the historic buildings and new programs to entice a broader range of guests. But the work is just getting started. Earlier this month the Frisco Town Council approved the Historic Park & Museum’s new fiveyear strategic plan, outlining goals for the organization’s development in the near future.

Perhaps the most important goal outlined in the document is the development of a cohesive facility and land use plan. With the recent growth in attendance, the museum’s infrastructure is already being challenged to meet demand. The plan calls for a new assessment team to conduct financial analysis of future capital expenditures, and to evaluate the longterm facility needs of the area. This will include the addition of restrooms (there’s currently only one), and it will take a look at the potential for creating additional museum operating spaces, or even the CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

PROPOSED PLAN FOR MCCAIN PROPERTY Breckenridge is considering updating the master plan for the McCain property, 128 acres of townowned land on the northern end of Breckenridge between Coyne Valley Road and the Fairview Boulevard roundabout. While there are many ideas for what could go on the site, these are some of the uses included in the proposed update.

• 3.7 acres for water treatment plant (under construction) • 2.7 acres for solar garden (already built) • 1.6 acres for recycling center (already built) • 7.5 acres for commercial and service commercial, including things like landscaping businesses, contractors and similar commercial uses not retail • 4 acres for housing • 0.8 acres for an open space buffer by the solar garden • 3.1 acres for a bike path, open space and buffer along the Blue River • 10 acres for snow storage • 10 acres for future school site for Summit School District (part of a proposed land swap) • 19.9 acres for workforce housing, recreation and open space • 3.8 acres for open space along the Blue River corridor • 34.9 acres for a 300-foot river corridor and wildlife habitat west of the Blue River with open space and trails • 12.3 acres for a 150-foot setback from Highway 9, landscaping buffers, open space and trails • 2 acres for a future trailhead, river access, park and/or open space uses • 8.5 acres for road right-of-way • 3.8 acres for Public Works storage Source: Breckenridge Planning Commission Agenda Packet

cale, undeveloped properties in Summit County and perhaps the last such site for Breckenridge.

What exactly will become of the 128 acres of town-owned land along Highway 9 remains a work in progress, though there’s no shortage of ideas.

“The chance to have a meaningful dialogue about probably the last large piece of property in the town of Breckenridge is really important,” Breckenridge planning commissioner Steve Gerard said at last week’s commission meeting. “When this gets built out, we’re pretty much done.”

The meeting was designed to allow the general public to get a feel for the newly proposed master plan for the McCain property and offer feedback.

While the planning commission took public comments, the commissioners will only give a recommendation to town council, which has final say.

Interest in the future of the property was evident in the number of people who attended Tuesday’s planning commission meeting and how closely they followed town staff’s presentation, many with printed copies of the newly proposed master plan in hand.

The Blue River splits the McCain property south to north on the western edge. The town bought the land for $1 million in 2000 and most of the rock piles have since been removed, leaving it ripe for development.

The master plan, which guides those developments, was last updated in 2015 and Breckenridge officials are looking to adjust it again as they seek to accommodate a land swap with the Summit School District — as well as penciling in some other changes.

Some pieces of the McCain property are spoken for. A solar garden occupies 2.7 acres near the center, the town’s new water-treatment plant is under construction at the northeast corner and Summit County’s recycling drop-off center sits on the opposite end. The 10 acres of land designated for the land swap is about the right size for an elementary school, though town staff say the district has no plans to build one there at this time.

Attached to the mixed-use building will be a threestory, nearly 25,000-square-foot multi-family residential building. Dubbed The Residences at Anemone Ridge, the adjoined structure will offer a total of 18 new units for sale: six three-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom units between 1,200 and 1,500 square feet. The residences will be built above a parking garage designed to retain the traffic from both residents and visitors to the medical office.

Uptown 240 is an upcoming 80-unit luxury condo complex set in the heart of Dillon, next to the coming Hilton Homewood Suites. The structure will be complete with a 5,000 square foot restaurant, yet to be named, in addition to a 6,000 square foot amenities deck featuring hot tubs, fire pits, a community room and covered lounging areas. The complex will also include a full 2,500 square foot gym. The complex will offer studio units along with one, two and three

bedroom units with prices ranging from as little as $275,000 to more than $1 million. The facility also has an underground parking lot equipped to host 100 percent of residential parking on site, as well as 95 percent of parking for commercial visitors.

and orthopedic surgery center.

As part of the project, Uptown 240 will be offering nine units of affordable workforce housing for permanent residents who work for at least 30 hours a week in Summit County. But unlike most workforce housing units for purchase in the area there are no area median income restrictions, or any appreciation caps.

Lastly, a group of long-time local and regional health care providers are looking to take their talents to Dillon sometime in the near future. The group gave a presentation to the Dillon Town Council providing preliminary designs for a new year-round urgent care

The proposed 80-100,000 square foot facility would include mostly familiar faces. The project comes

as a result of collaboration between Vail-Summit

Orthopaedics, the Steadman Clinic, Vail Health and been established in Summit or Eagle counties for

decades. The group proposed locating the new facil-

ity on a five-acre parcel adjacent to the Dillon Ridge Marketplace, near City Market and across from the Skyline Cinema.

The main focus of the facility would be orthopedic

surgery, but it would also open the door for an urgent

care facility as well as physical therapy and other services. If agreed upon by the council, the group hopes to begin construction sometime summer of 2019.

addition of up to two new historic buildings on the site.

“The buildings in place will all stay,” said Belz. “But what can be added, changed or modified? We’re in need of new infrastructure like public restrooms, parking and work space. But more specifically, we need new facilities for collections storage. We have a lot of artifacts, but we don’t have high quality storage for those items. They should be in a temperature controlled, well-lit space. We try to keep them as clean as possible, but things are stored haphazardly inside the buildings we have now.”

The second goal is simply to uphold museum best practices, largely identified by the American Alliance of Museums. While the museum does this already, there are several improvements listed in the plan such as the expansion of preventative security measures, the continued offering of professional development opportunities for employees and more. Most notably, the museum is also working to provide public access to “The town owns the museum and its collections, but

12

it’s the history of the community and people need to have access to these things,” said Belz.

The document then moves into the preservation of Frisco’s heritage and culture through the preservation and restoration of historic artifacts and buildings. The goal is to continue to maintain a historic property inventory throughout the town — according to Belz, there are currently about 30 historical buildings in the Frisco area outside the park — and to incentivize private property owners to lead preservation projects within the community.

Additionally, the Frisco Town Council just passed a resolution to adopt a preservation fund. Currently the museum operates on money from the town’s general fund with an operating budget of about $300,000 annually. The new fund will allow private or corporate donors to put their money directly into the preservation fund to help the museum maintain their buildings and collections.

The final goal of the plan is to continue to provide

the community with progressive and diverse museum experiences through the promotion of the museum, and the development of new programs and exhibits.

Belz said that the museum is currently in the process of creating pilot programs to see what types of offerings visitors are most interested in.

The expansion of tour offerings is also on the horizon. Belz said the museum is currently considering a historical biking tour from Copper to Frisco, as well as a skiing history tour in collaboration with Frisco.

Additionally, plans are already in the works for the expansion of the museum’s nature diorama, a exhibit at the Frisco Nordic Center and more.

“The strategic plan itself is one of the most exciting and dynamic projects we’ll jump into,” said Belz. “I think the strategies are supporting specific goals, and that it’s really a feasible plan that we can carry out as museum and town staff over the next five years. I’m really excited and proud to start looking at what the future looks like here at the museum.”

BRECKENRIDGE – A REAL TOWN WITH UNREAL SKIING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7

Breckenridge’s solar garden on the McCain property, a 128-acre parcel that could address a slew of the town’s issues, is shown in this photo. The town is considering updating the master plan that guides developments on the land. school facility there, but I don’t know what that might be,” said Peter Grosshuesch, the town’s director of planning and community development, as he answered questions about the trade during the meeting.

for housing and open space. The amount of open space would be reduced from 78.5 acres to 44.6 acres, or about 34 percent of the entire property, in the updated plan. For some people, that doesn’t appear to be enough.

Another woman inquired about the possibility of a field house on the property, as there have been whispers that some people in town would like to see an indoor athletic facility there, but that too is not in the newly proposed plan.

In return for giving the district land at McCain, Breckenridge would secure a similar-sized property

by Block 11, another town-owned parcel directly to the south of the McCain property that is encumbered by several easements and ideal for a surface parking lot. The town can move skier parking off the McCain property to Block 11, which will help satisfy the town’s existing agreement with Breckenridge Ski Resort to provide 500 skier parking spaces in town.

“What happened to the open space, guys?” asked Lee Edwards of the planning commissioners, noticing a 23-acre tract of land designated strictly for open space in 2015 has been reset as 19.9 acres slated for housing, recreation and open space in the proposed update.

“Never say never, but it’s not currently being discussed,” staff told the woman.

In addition to accommodating the land swap, the proposed master plan would remove a planned expansion of the solar garden, fill in a perviously planned reservoir, consolidate snow storage areas and adjust some of the tracts originally designated

“Leave it open space,” he said to a round of applause from the audience.

Shortly afterward another Breckenridge homeowner asked if the town intends to fill a small pond on the McCain property, and staff said they do.

“That’s a bummer,” the man replied, saying that hundreds of geese and ducks flock there over the winter and the pond is great for trout fishing.

Identifying himself as a representative of The Peak School, Art Albin addressed the room when he said the private school based out of Frisco is looking to expand sometime in the not-too-distant future and he hoped Breckenridge would keep The Peak School in mind at McCain.

“In fact, we’re looking for school sites that might be an alternative to building on our existing location,” Albin said. “We have a little bit of land available on Main Street in Frisco, but we’re trying to keep our options open.”

In many ways, so is the town.
