Is Summit County Turning into a Buyer’s Market?

There’s a lot of buzz lately about whether we’re officially in a buyer’s market here in the Colorado high country—and the data is starting to lean that way.

Market in a Minute

In May 2025, active listings hit 1,119—up 68% from May 2024 and even higher than 2019’s pre-COVID inventory. Properties are now sitting longer, averaging 88 days on market. While buyer activity has leveled off, we’re seeing more price reductions, especially in the mid-tier market.

The luxury segment (homes $5M and up) is still holding strong, but for most of Summit County, we’re edging closer to that six-month inventory benchmark that indicates a buyer’s market.

Listing of The Week

I also give you a boots-on-the-ground tour of one of the most stunning pieces of land currently available in Summit County—5080 Montezuma Road in Keystone. This 8.76-acre riverfront property features over 600 feet of Snake River frontage, big views of Glacier Mountain, and comes with plans from award-winning BHH Partners Architecture. It’s peaceful, private, and packed with potential.

What's Happening in the Summit?

And for my fellow 90s kids—Big Head Todd and the Monsters are playing July 26th at the Dillon Amphitheater. Count me in.

Whether you're looking to invest, relocate, or just keep tabs on the market, now’s a great time to explore your options.

See you in the mountains soon...
