Hot Properties, High Rates, and Easter Fun: Breckenridge Real Estate Update

Hey everyone, Matt here! 👋Welcome back to another episode of the Ski Summit Show. This week, we’re diving into some hot (and not-so-hot) real estate opportunities around Breckenridge, why mortgage rates are still frustratingly high, and a couple of local events you’ll want to check out if you’re in town. Let's get into it!

Market in a Minute: Breckenridge Update

Quick snapshot:

Single-family homes have a median list price of around $3.35M.
It’s a slight buyer’s market for homes, slight seller’s advantage for condos.
Overall: A pretty balanced market where buyers and sellers can find a win-win.

Listing of the Week: Independence Townhomes

This week’s featured property is the stunning Independence Townhomes (link to listing if you have it). Brand new luxury townhomes priced around $4–5M — and many are already under contract, mostly cash deals! Incredible location, walkable to downtown Breck and gondola access.
