When most people think of Breckenridge, images of skiing, snowboarding, and cozy nights by the fireplace tend to be what first come to mind. But on the real estate side of things, did you know summer is actually a great time to sell your Breckenridge home or condo? Don’t believe us? Well, here are just a few reasons why you might want to test the market right now if you’re thinking of selling…

Summer visitors have more time  

When people visit Breckenridge during the ski season they’re busy hitting the slopes and hardly thinking about buying a new vacation home. And while it might cross their mind while they’re here, many eventual buyers come back during the summer to really get serious and start looking.  

Buyers are more mobile  

Let’s face

Summit County is a pretty scenic place to call home thanks to the spectacular mountainous landscape that helps define our way of life. Regardless of where you live in the area, the picturesque setting here is impossible to escape, and it’s even more amplified when mountains in the backdrop are combined with the beauty of a free-flowing creek or river in your own backyard.

In Breckenridge, owning a home or condo along the Blue River makes for quite a living experience, especially if you’re someone who really loves to spend time outside barbecuing, entertaining, or simply taking in the calming sights and sounds of the Colorado outdoors.

All Day

A full day of activities makes celebrating the 4th of July in Breckenridge one of the most patriotic and entertaining locations in the country for the whole family. Complete with 11 major events occurring throughout the day, we chose a few of our favorites to showcase. Find the event rundown here on GoBreck’s site to view all the options.

9:30am Start – The Firecracker 50 Mountain Bike Race
One of the longest standing July 4th events, the Firecracker 50 is an epic 50 mile trail ride that is cheered on by thousands. Compete solo or in teams, this loop race takes riders on some of Breck’s most iconic trails.

Golf season has arrived here in the Breckenridge area, which certainly makes this the perfect time of year to start searching golf course homes for sale in Summit County. Thanks to the spectacular natural scenery that helps define this particular part of the country, few places make for a better place to hit the links, as long as you’re somebody who enjoys a great view as much hitting that elusive hole-in-one. 

Admittedly, Summit County is known much more for its ski resorts than it is for its golf courses, but if you’re thinking about a move here from out of town, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with our local golf scene, as well as all the different types of homes you might find scattered throughout some of Summit County’s top courses.

Although the first day of summer isn’t officially until June 21st, many consider Memorial Day Weekend the unofficial start of the summer season. And with this year’s holiday weekend already in the rearview mirror, let the summertime fun begin! 

Tour the Country Boy Mine 

Did you know the Country Boy Mine is one of the oldest and most famous mines in all of Summit County? And did you also know it’s been voted as one of the best things to do in Breckenridge? Tour-goers travel well over 1,000 feet into the mine and guides will even show you how to pan for gold after your tour is over. And because the mine stays at a cool 45 degrees all year long, it’s also a great way to cool down on a hot summer day!

As an active home buyer, there’s a good chance you already have a number of things on your home buying wish list that are non-negotiable. For some buyers, the number of bedrooms or bathrooms a home features can make or break a deal, while others prefer lots of garage space, lots of backyard or private outdoor space, or perhaps even a location that fits certain lifestyle preferences.

In Breckenridge, homes with a great view are also high up the the priority list, and many buyers also feel a private outdoor hot tub is one of those features
