robust October, the Summit County real estate market experienced a slowdown in

Million. Compared to October, November transactions decreased from 224 to 145.

market is experiencing a 9% decrease in residential transactions with 1,655
total transactions so far. Even with the slowdown in transactions, sales

Despite
lower sales numbers, strong buyer demand is influencing other factors that
indicate a healthy real estate market. The three month average of residential

As of December 1st,
the inventory in Summit County consists of 545 active listings which accounts
for 394 residential properties and 151 homesites. Broken out by area
(residential and land combined) this reflects 228 in Breckenridge, 27 in
Copper, 28 in Dillon, 27 in Frisco, 76 in Keystone and 159 in Silverthorne.
Summit County inventory fell by approximately 14% since the beginning of last
month. This seasonal reduction in inventory may be influenced by sellers taking
their home off the market to take advantage of rental income in the winter.
