As reported in the Summit Daily News, February 28, 2009, by Robert Allen, homeowners of the iconic, 'Seventies-type feel' Village at Breckenridge have approved a $19 million refurbishment to begin in 2010. In need of an update, the homeowner's association general manager commented that "it was running second for the ugly award in town". [No report on what is first!!]

The buildings will get new roofs, decks, windows, railings, and the skins of the five buildings will be improved. The theme will be 'mountain elegance with historic features', and the existing Plaza III building will have a clock atop the elevator shaft. The ground level will be transformed so it will look like a village.

The Village includes some 235 residential and 28 commercial units. The residences range from 386 square feet to 1,800 square feet. The project will cost property owners an average of $76 per square foot.

Reports of possible 15 to 20 percent lower labor and construction costs, due to the national economic slump, and probable lower loan rates make the project feasable at this time. The price could actually come in at less than $19 million.

Project construction is to begin in April, 2010 and be complete in eight months. All five buildings will be improved simultaneously.

The HOA voted overwhelmingly to go forward on January 31, 2009. It is expected to go out to bid in April.

The project is hoped to make the Village area more vibrant, attracting more restaurants such as Teddeo's Italian Restaurant which recently moved to on of the Village buildings.

Improvements to the central deck area have been considered, but aren't included in the project price.

Bob Berwin reports in the June 5, 2009, issue of the Summit Daily News:

Execs hope pass sales will spur visits next season.

Season pass sales and usage continues to be bright spots for Vail Resorts at the end of a challenging season.

In spite of a 20.9 percent drop in bottom line earnings, advance season pass sales for next year are up 37 percent from last year. This revenue is quickly growing into a larger slice of the company's overall revenue picture, from 26 percent in the 2007-8 ski season, to 34 percent for the 2008-9 season.

Total skier visits were down about 5.3 percent for the 2008-9 season. Destination guests made up 57 percent of Vail Resort's total visitation, compared with 63 percent last season. Visits by non-season pass holders dropped by 22 percent.

These results were impacted by the continued severe downturn in the economy.

Wow, what a busy 4th of July weekend and Summer is in full swing now!

Traditionally, the next 3 months are THE busy real estate sales months. With such a great selection of properties to choose from in all price ranges, plus great prices, we expect to continue this tradition!

Properties that are priced right are selling!

Since the first of June to date, there are 93 new pending sales county wide. Now that may not sound like much, but there were only 200 that sold from beginning of the year through May! So it is a good start, going into the 3rd quarter of the year.

In Breckenridge there are 31 pending sales. 12 are under $499,000, 10 sales between $500,000 and 995,000 and 9 sales for over the one million mark.

Those of you following the Summit County and Breckenridge market, it is one the best times in 15 years to make your move for a mountain get-away!
