Real Estate and the Recession

The Summit County Colorado Property market is really feeling the full force of the economic crisis. In fact, market data shows that the market decrease began at the very same time that Bear Sterns collapsed. Prior to that time, Summit Region had actually been rather immune to the troubles encountering much of the rest of the realty industry throughout the US. There are numerous reasons for this, amongst them:

Compared to the remainder of the nation, Summit County has a rather reduced percentage of sub-prime debtors as well as the finance defaults that afflicted various other markets were very little of a factor in the Summit Region.

Summit County did not experience the speculative bubble that occurred in some other markets. Being a 4 sessions destination resort market, many purchasers around acquisition for the objective of personal use and/or visitor rental earnings, not with the intent to market in the short term.

In the absence of the speculative bubble, and also being bordered by mountains and also National parks, overgrowth in Top County did not take off as it carried out in various other markets.

Of course, there are counter-examples to every one of the above points, and they are included only as a comparison to other markets as well as to give a general review of the property market in the Summit Area leading into the first quarter of 2008. To a huge extent, the real estate market in this field had actually been, and also remains to be, defined by the general US economic situation and also not always the fads within the property industry all at once.
