What’s Happening in Summit County

One of the more unique events coming up is Summit Splitfest 2026, happening April 3rd–5th in Frisco.

If you’re not familiar with splitboarding, it’s essentially a snowboard that separates into skis so you can hike uphill before riding down. It’s a growing part of the backcountry scene here, and this event is a great opportunity to connect with others, learn more, and get involved.

Whether you’re experienced or just curious, it’s a fun way to experience the mountain community outside the resorts. More Here >

Summit County Real Estate News: New Colorado Housing Bill

There’s a new bill in Colorado that’s getting a lot of attention—and a lot of questions.

At a high level, this legislation allows schools, nonprofits, and certain government entities to build housing on land they already own—even if that land wasn’t originally zoned for housing.

Now, this doesn’t mean schools are about to start selling off land everywhere or turning fields into condos overnight. What it does mean is that underutilized land—especially near town—could now be considered for housing in ways it couldn’t before.

The biggest shift here is control. This bill reduces how much say local governments have in approving or denying these projects, which is why some groups are pushing back.

So what does this mean for you?

If you own property near a school, this doesn’t mean construction is coming tomorrow. But it does increase the likelihood that nearby land could be used for housing in the future.

And like most things in real estate, there are trade-offs. This could help create housing for local workers and teachers—but it could also change the character of certain neighborhoods. More Here >

Market in a Minute

Looking at February numbers:

We saw 82 total sales, which is relatively flat year-over-year, but the bigger story is in pricing.

Total sales volume and average sales price were both down significantly—around 20%—while price per square foot actually ticked up slightly.

That tells me we’re seeing more activity in smaller properties, while some of the higher-end luxury homes are moving a bit slower—though there are still signs of life in that segment.

Overall, it’s a shifting market, not a collapsing one—and understanding where activity is happening is key.
