The Market: Sales are up 15.5% and average sold prices are down -3.5%. Pending (properties under contract) activity is up 5%. Last year at this time sales were up 3%, average sold prices were down -2.5% and the pending activity was up 30%.

 

Sales: Through May 5th sales are up 15.5% countywide. The properties are selling after being on the market for an average of 323 days and last year at this time it took an average of 403 days. The North Side of the county is up 8% for the number of sales and the South Side is up 27% (wow).
Price: Countywide the average sold price is down -3.5% and properties are selling at 95% of their list price and 91% of their original list price; which shows that a little bit of a price adjustment is still needed to help a property sell today. The South Side of the county is down -1% for their average sold price. Interesting though is that if we remove the project sales, that had their prices adjusted downward substantially earlier this year and yet where still very high priced, the average sold price in the South Side of the county would be down -7%. The North Side is witnessing the largest downward movement with their average sold price down -9%.
Weekly Activity: Last week was a tremendous week for closings with a surge of 83% over the same week last year! The under contract activity is up 5 properties for a 22% improvement and the new properties coming on the market is up 33%.
What’s out there now? Well the county has -13% fewer properties to choose from and those properties are listed about -2% less than the properties for sale last year at this time. Interesting to note that the average list price of the properties that are currently under contract is -20% below the average list price of the properties for sale that are not under contract.
Fewer properties for sale. More properties selling. Prices lower and interest rates at record lows…what more can one ask for?
By the way, as of the end of April RE/MAX Properties of the Summit is number one in Summit County as well as in most all the local towns. See all the towns where we are number one on a slide show online here http://www.luckymountainhome.com/  .  In fact, here is one location where we (Resort Real Estate) are really leading the pack…

The peak selling time is here for Resort Real Estate in Summit County – Resort prices are down a bit, up a bit and/or flat – definite signs of bottoming out. The selection of available properties is good for buyers to select that right property and low enough that sellers have a really good opportunity to sell their property before ski season.
Interest rates are still at record lows offering buyers a little more buying power and sellers more buyers that can qualify for their property. Know of anyone interested in taking advantage of this unique situation?

Enjoy the market update below and I hope you find the information interesting and if you know of anyone looking to get into this resort market send them my way! And if there is anything we can do for you, just let me know.

The General Market. Summit County real estate residential sales are up 19% (listings sold) with the average sold price down 3 percent. A little digging shows that the Summit North side of the county (Frisco, Copper, Keystone, Dillon and Silverthorne) are up by about 4 extra listings sold with about a 15% decrease in average sold price. The Breckenridge real estate area is up about 41% in listings sold and up 1.2% in average sold price.

A little more Detailed Market View. Digging even deeper shows each area’s residential sales and the positive or negative change in the average sold price and the number of listings sold comparing 2010’s 1^st quarter to 2011’s 1^st quarter. It is still early in the year and with the vast majority of sales yet to come this year a lot can change and with some of the small numbers in some of the areas it doesn’t take much to start a new trend or witness a substantial swing in either direction.

The Condominium Market. A very noticeable change in both the number of sales and the average sold price and as the graphs below show the entire change is due to the Breckenridge condo market. The Summit North condo sales for the 1^st quarter in 2010 were at 53 and in 2011 the number of condos that sold were 53 with a combined decrease in the average sold price of about 9 percent. About half of the Breckenridge increase in sales were driven in part due to a newer project being sold off at dramatically reduced prices coupled with other newer and more expensive condominiums selling in the Breckenridge area.

What Price Range is Selling? The graph below shows all the residential sales for the 1^st quarter by price range by the sold price. Interesting that 65% of our Summit County real estate market is selling in the zero to $500,000 range with 28% in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range. Or 93% of all sales so far in 2011 (1^st quarter) have been under $1,000,000. The percent to list for properties that sold in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range is 90% and the under $500,000 range it is 92%.

The Single Family Home Market. Not as dramatic as the condo market with 51 selling in Summit County during the 1^st quarter of 2010 and 53 selling in 2011 with about a 3.5% decrease in average sold price. The increase was in the Breckenridge market with 3 more sales in 2011 and the Summit North witnessed 1 less sale in 2011. The bigger change is in the average price where the Breckenridge area witnessed a 3% gain and the Summit North (Frisco, Copper, Dillon, Silverthorne and Keystone) witnessed a 19% loss.

A little more Detail on Sold Prices. Breaking it down by Breckenridge and Summit North (Frisco, Copper, Keystone, Dillon, Silverthorne) shows that 100% of all the sales in the Summit North area have been under $1,000,000 and almost 80% of the market in the Summit North is under the $500,000 level. Breckenridge on the other hand has about 50% of their market under the $500,000 mark coupled with a large percentage of their sales in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 and the 15% that is above $1,000,000 really translates to 13 listings sold.

Percent of Market by Year Built. This is interesting and the reason the graphs have been created is to help identify the shift in the market of higher end sales or over $1,000,000 sales. All of the over $1,000,000 residential sales occurred in the Breckenridge market and they consisted of 2 condos, 10 homes and 1 townhome. The other interesting point is that the majority of these sales occurred with newer properties in amongst other like properties – 70% of those that sold were built in the 2000’s! All were built in the 90’s and newer. The average sold price of the over $1,000,000 sales in 2011 is $1,568,484 and the average percent to list price is 95% (buyers are buying high end properties that are priced dead on).
