In this 1-hour class, Summit County specialists Amy Nakos and Candice De break down everything real estate professionals need to know about navigating mountain resort markets — from reading the data to protecting your clients.
What's covered:
📊 Market Data & History — How Summit County differs from Front Range markets, 52 years of appreciation data for homes and condos, what's happening in 2026, and why the last few years of 10%+ gains aren't sustainable.
🏠 Short-Term Rental Regulations — A deep dive into STR rules across Unincorporated Summit County's 4 basins, Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, Keystone, Silverthorne, and Blue River — including caps, waitlists, resort zones, and how to verify and communicate risk to clients.
📋 Unique Mountain Due Diligence — HOA financial health, insurance availability and wildfire risk, alpine environment considerations (snow loads, ice dams, freeze damage), wells and septic systems, resort fees, and transfer taxes.
💰 Investor Lens — Rental economics, management costs, cash flow scenarios, and why lifestyle often outweighs the numbers. Whether you're a real estate agent, investor, or buyer thinking about a mountain property, this class gives you the tools to make smarter, more informed decisions in one of Colorado's most complex markets.
