Highlands Home Prices Still Stable

Hello from Breckenridge, Colorado!

Here’s more good news, from the Highlands At Breckenridge luxury home subdivision:

• We charted all 37 home sales in this subdivision since 1/1/2009, and the price-per-square-foot is stable! (See the magenta line). There’s a slight -2.1% percent per year downtrend (yellow line) in the price per square foot, but that’s not a major trend.
• The sold prices ranged from $850,000 to $2,199,000.
• The last three sales were:

1. $199 / sq ft on 1/25/11 (We had the buyer! Bank owned)

3. $390 / sq ft on 3/24/11

For homes in The Highlands At Breckenridge subdivision:

• The peak selling prices occurred roughly from July 1, 2007 to July 1, 2008, and averaged $401 per sq ft
• Selling prices from January 1, 2009 through April 22, 2011 averaged $305 per sq ft
• That’s a drop of around 24% from the peak
