Oktoberfest in Keystone + Summit County Real Estate Insights

When it comes to investing in real estate up here in the mountains, the conversation often turns to cash flow. I can’t tell you how many times buyers ask me, “Can this Keystone condo cash flow with 20% down?” The reality is, with higher purchase prices, HOA dues, and management fees, the math usually doesn’t work out that way.

But here’s the thing—mountain real estate is a different game. The real wealth is built through appreciation. Even if you bought at the “worst time” after 2008, today you would be sitting on a stockpile of equity. In our mountain real estate market, holding onto your property for five years or more has historically turned out to be a solid investment. That’s the power of mountain markets like Breckenridge, Frisco, and Keystone

In this episode, I break down cash flow vs appreciation, dig into Summit County housing insights (spoiler: home prices in our resort towns have doubled since 2012), and highlight some of the dynamics affecting today’s market. We also talk about Keystone’s upcoming Oktoberfest and feature a timeless listing at 27 Habitat Court in Whispering Pines—a beautiful four-bedroom home priced at $2M.

👉 Whether you’re considering buying, investing, or just love staying connected to life in Summit County, this episode has something for you.

See you in the mountains soon…
