Last week we were invited to an open house at the Grand Lodge on Peak 7. Since I was formerly an electd public official, I have pavlovian conditioning that precludes me from turning down any event which has free food and BEvERidges, and off we went. To say that I was amazingly impressed is an understatement. The Grand Lodge on Peak 7 at Breckenridge is luxury from top to bottom.
We were shown around the property by one of their fabulous Salespersons - Shaubie Faia. From the lobby to the pools and BBQ area to the gym and salon, no expense has been spared in this property. The units are top of the line and all appear to have lock offs, so you can lease the part of the unit you are not using.
The location can't be beat - Right at the Independence chairlift - simply walk out a few steps and up the mountain you go. This is truly Ski In Ski Out Condo living! Other properties boasting ski in ski out don't have anywhere near this ease of accessability.
Ownership is flexible, you can buy as many weeks as you like up to 100% ownership. But hurry there is a very limited supply of 100% ownership interests available.
Tha best part for me as a local is the ability to use the facilities year round, regardless of whether it is my week or not. I can use the underground parking, the lockers and locker rooms as well as the gym,pool and BBQ area any time as part of my ownership experience. This is a huge value not only to locals, but to Denver and other front range day trip skiers. Who can argue with driving right up slopeside, parking, then going inside to your locker room to change into your gear. After skiing, enjoy your Apres ski, use the hot tub to work out the kinks, and let the I-70 traffic die down before you need to head back? Priceless!
Contact Colorado Mountian Retreats Realty at 303 641 0923 or www.ColoradoMountainRetreats.com for more information and let us set an appointment personnally at the Grand Lodge on Peak 7 at Breckenridge so you can discover this experience for yourself!

Greg McCallum, Broker/Owner OF Colorado Mountain Retreats Realty Recives CNE Designation
Gregory McCallum Receives New Certified Negotiation Expert Designation
Real estate negotiation skills a must for all home buyers/sellers, especially in current market
Gregory McCallum has been awarded the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation, achieved by real estate professionals who have successfully completed formal training in the art of negotiation. Agents who receive this certification are in the top 1% of all agents nationally.
With professional negotiation skills, agents will typically obtain better results for their clients. CNE agents have a powerful competitive edge because of their ability to uncover information effectively, get more and give less during sales/purchase negotiations, and retain control over desired outcomes. Bottom line, CNE agents know how to influence and persuade others more effectively than agents without professional negotiation training.
The certification training is provided by Negotiation Expertise, LLC, a national negotiation training and coaching company based in Peoria, AZ. Tom Hayman, the President and owner, is a professional negotiator with 35+ year’s experience, including 25 years with Procter and Gamble, a Fortune 50 company. Hayman asserts “Any Buyer or Seller who hires a CNE agent can feel confident that they have the best trained agent in the business. They will get superior results and have better resolution of any issues when hiring a CNE agent.” For More Information Please Visit http://www.coloradomountainretreats.com/

Summit County Single Family Home Sales Update
It's June 2, 2011 and summer has finally come to Summit County! 3 days in a row of 70 degree weather is welcome! The sales statistics are in for Summit COunty for the month of May 2011 so let's take a look at single family residential sales as compared to the same month last year.
The results are mixed but potentially on the positive side. Overall, SFR sales in the month of May 2011 were up - 38 units vs. 37 in 2010, and Days on Market were down almost 20% - to 244 DOM vs. 299 DOM in 2010. This is great news! More sales in a shorter time period - Hooray!
Unfortunately, the average sales price has dropped 3% from $733,000 in 2010 to $711,000 in 2011.
And explanation for this could be that Sellers are realizing they have to discount their home price more to sell it faster.
On the inventory side, desite a flurry of new listings late last week before the Holiday Weekend, New listings are down this year - 525 new SFR listings this year, down from 575 in 2010 YTD. If this trend holds, increased sales and fewer new homes on the market, for the remainder of the year we could see some across the board price stabilization.
Could we miss the double dip here in Summit County? LEt's keep our fingers crossed!
OF course the numbers I have shared here are generalizations for all of Summit County, and local variations occur from neighborhood to neighborhood throughout the county. Contact Greg McCallum at 303 641 0923 or visit our website: http://www.coloradmountainretreats.com/ with questions about specific areas in the county!
