Do Short-Term Rental Bans Lower Home Values? Summit County Data 2019–2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Candice De digs into five years of Summit County MLS data to answer a question a lot of buyers and sellers have been asking: does the ability to short-term rent a property actually move its resale value?
Using the county's STR zone map she created, Candice compares sale prices of properties that can be licensed for short-term rental against those that can't — before and after the 2022–2023 regulation changes — broken out by single family homes, townhomes/duplexes, and condos, and by town (Breckenridge, Silverthorne, Dillon).
The short version: yes, it matters, and for attached properties (townhomes, duplexes, condos) it matters a lot — gaps of 50–100% depending on the town and property type.
Note: this is a data analysis of local sales trends, not individualized legal or financial advice. If you're weighing a purchase or sale in Summit County, reach out to talk through your specific property.
