Buying a place in Breckenridge keeps getting more expensive.
The average home price is $2.8 million this year, according to Altitude Realtors. That is a half-million more than last year at this time.
But skyrocketing prices are not hurting the Breck home market. Through October the market is trending 15% better than last year, from 132 sales to 152 sales, for $427 million in total sales, an increase of 23%.
Breck alone represents nearly one-third of all sales in Summit, Grand and Park counties.
Silverthorne goes ice cold
Slowing to a crawl is the once-hot Silverthorne home market.
Average home price this year is a record-high $2 million but sales are down 25%, from 101 sales last year to 75 sales this year.
Silverthorne is the only local market except Keystone and Copper where this year is not doing better than last year.
