Sold Listings
The chart above shows the number of sold residential listings in Breckenridge by month.
Note that the peak number of sales typically occurs in October. You can verify this by hovering your mouse over the data points. A typical seasonal dynamic is:
- Buyers start looking in spring / early summer, hoping to get a low price and a good deal
- Sellers list in spring / early summer, listing with a high price and hoping to get top dollar
- As the summer progresses into early fall, both buyers and sellers become more motivated and realistic, and meet somewhere in the middle. Transactions go under contract in August and September, and close in October, in time for the upcoming ski season!
