Breckenridge Ski Resort unveils new plans

Crystal Peak Lodge, which has sold 45 of 46 units, fetching a price per square foot of $928, is currently under construction. Plans call for completion by Christmas of 2008. Next to the lodge, Grand Timber will build four phases of construction, the first of which will be about 30 days behind Crystal Peak's completion. Breckenridge Ski Resort plans to relocate the Independence SuperChair within steps of the new Peak 7 base area, which is also connected by the new gondola. The existing County Road 3 will become ski terrain and move lower.

Teardowns mean larger homes

High Country Business Review

As Summit County and Vail Village deal with buildout, some properties simply warrant larger homes.

Brian Wray, owner of Mountain Log Homes of Colorado, helped tear down - or "scrape" - and haul away a cramped, poorly planned three-bedroom house in Breckenridge for $17,000. The home sat on a ski-in, ski-out parcel, so the owners built a 6,500-square-foot log home.

Wray said that scrapers, additions and remodels will become common in the near future. Casey Kellermann of Slifer Smith & Frampton in Breckenridge predicts vacant land will sell out in four to six years in Summit County. Already, property values are "rising in an accelerated manner" as lots diminish, said Dave Koons, owner of Kodiak Enterprises and president of the Summit County Builders Association.

High Country real estate trends buck norm

Some Front Range real estate investors are abandoning their search in the Denver metro area and moving into the mountains. Last week, Dillon-based real estate broker Dan Burnett of Summit Resort Group had three such clients walk into his office.

With a depressed market in Denver, more investors are looking to buy property in Summit County, Burnett said. Out of 284 metro markets nationally, Denver is ranked 210 in terms of year-over-year appreciation, said Eric Thompson, managing broker of Slifer, Smith and Frampton in Summit County. However, Denver's market is showing signs of becoming healthier, Thompson said.
