Ski Towns across the country have proven to be great investments over the years, not to mention fantastic places to spend time.  Towns like Aspen and Vail in Colorado have real estate that has traditionally done nothing but go up in value.  With world class skiing out the door, real estate prices really have no where to go but up as these towns remain desirable destinations for people from across the globe.  Typically space is limited and the valleys in mountain towns only have so much land to build on.  As developments expand further and further away from the core of a ski village the property within that town core becomes that much more valuable.

Another aspect that these fabulous mountain towns have to offer is summer.  Summer offers a plethora of activities, from hiking and biking to horseback riding and camping.  A healthy lifestyle mixed with fine dining and great shopping.  There is often a great deal of cultural offerings as well.  Vail offers an amazing variety of culture as well with Bravo , an offering of classical music, and the Vail International Dance Festival , which hold events at both the outdoor amphitheater in Vail and the Vilar Center in Beaver Creek.

Take advantage of lower home prices and low mortgage rates and consider purchasing ski resort real estate , there couldn’t be a better time to buy.  While resort real estate may have been out of your reach a few years ago, it may not be today.  With a large inventory and people needing to sell the buyer is in the position to name his price!

It is no secret that 2008 was not a good year in terms of the economy or real estate.  While certain areas of the country fared better than others, overall real estate investing was down.  The good news is that real estate in many areas is cheaper now than it has been in years and this is especially true in resort areas where growth and home values have had an amazing run of good fortune.  The majority of resort areas are now completely buyer’s markets.  A large inventory mixed with people who really need to sell means there is plenty of bargaining room regardless of the listed price.

Resort areas offer a fantastic quality of life as well as an above average return on your investment.  In the past 8 years in the Vail Valley, for example, real estate investments have given buyers huge returns, often 80 to 100% returns.  It was only a matter of time before the market would correct itself.  While Vail Valley Real Estate has yet to drop significantly, prices have leveled off and dropped enough to make Vail Valley Real Estate a much better investment for those who are investing for the long run.

When you mix the quantity of resort properties on the market with the historically low mortgage rates that are available today, the conclusion is that resort real estate is nothing short of a buyer’s market.  Todays market conditions have combined to create the best environment to buy resort real estate that has been seen in years.  So, whether you have been yearning to buy a beach condo in Maui, a cabin in the woods in Maine or a slopeside ski home in Colorado, take advantage and consider buying your dream home today.
