How Many Olympians Has Summit County Produced? + Will Lower Rates Boost the Market? | Ep. 147

Summit County Olympians & Will Lower Interest Rates Shift the Market?

Summit County isn’t just known for world-class skiing and mountain living — it’s also produced an impressive lineup of Olympians over the years.

From ski jumping and Nordic combined to snowboarding and alpine racing, our small mountain community has had an outsized impact on the Olympic stage. Growing up here in Breckenridge, watching local athletes compete at the highest level was inspiring — and it played a huge role in my own journey to becoming an Olympian in Nordic Combined.

It’s a reminder that this community breeds high performance, resilience, and a deep love for the mountains.

Will New Interest Rates Shift the Market?
We’re starting to see a slight dip in interest rates nationally, and that has many buyers asking whether it will reignite the real estate market.

According to recent reporting, lower rates may have more impact along Colorado’s Front Range, where price points are more accessible to first-time buyers. Here in Summit County, our higher price points mean the effect may be more modest.

That said — activity is picking up.

Market in a Minute
New properties going under contract have spiked recently. We’ve seen a noticeable bump in pendings compared to previous weeks, signaling increased buyer engagement.

Two of the highest recent sales:

• 149 Game Trail
• 805 Highfield Trail

Momentum is building — and we’re keeping a close eye on it.
