Summit County (Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon, Silverthorne, etc.) offers an unparalleled quality of life with ample year-round activities, a community feel, and breathtaking mountain vistas at every turn. Ideally located on the western side of the Continental Divide and less than a two-hour drive from Denver, Summit County attracts buyers from around the world. Comparing the market results of 2018 to 2017 shows a rise in competition with average price increasing by 7%, yet listings sold decreasing slightly by 5.4%. In addition, total dollar volume sold increased by 1.1%. These three metrics prove that 2018 was a healthy market as buyers were willing to pay more and less properties were available for purchase – a very positive trend for sellers. Potential buyers also saw major benefits as average days on market increased, allowing buyers more time to make home purchasing decisions.
