1511284517DENVER, CO - Like the inches of snow currently accumulating in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the number of luxury home sales in both the Vail Valley (Vail and Beaver Creek) and Summit County (Breckenridge, Copper, Keystone) real estate markets, continue to rise. In October, Eagle and Summit County saw an exceptionally high volume of activity, specifically in regard to luxury property purchases by international and second home Buyers hoping to close prior to ski season.

In the Vail Valley, luxury homes priced $3 million and above saw an 86% increase year-over-year in October, and with the influx of potential Buyers entering the Vail Valley market for the holiday season, there is little evidence the pace of sales will soon slow-down.

Listed for sale by LIV Sotheby's International Realty brokers, Tye Stockton and Tom Dunn for $8,495,000. “Over the past 30 days we have continued to see luxury property in both Vail and Beaver Creek go under contract, during what can be viewed as an ‘off-season’ time frame,” said Daniel Estrada, Broker, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. “It seems evident that buyers are increasingly moving money into real estate and the excitement for resort property remains in demand. We believe that this trend will continue into our winter season. With new inventory coming into play, and qualified buyers ready to purchase that next exciting property, we expect great things for 2018."
