Instructions on how to Search the Summit County MLS

Did you know you can get really up to date information on what is for sale in Summit County Colorado? Personally I get frustrated with web sites that give me old information - the properties are off the market, sold or have a major price change. Or even more irritating something is for sale and its not showing up. I've received calls on properties that sold a year ago that someone found on the web through a source that I have no control over. Anyway - enough of the ranting. Through my web site you can search the mls, it is always up to date with what is on the market and price changes.

Here is what the search page looks like:

You can pick Residential, Land, Commercial or Partial Ownership searches. Residential includes single family homes, duplexes (half of a duplex), town homes, condos and mobile homes. Most homes on large acreage are included in the single family homes, but a few are listed under Sf/Mf/Acreage and Farm/Ranch. It just depends on how the agent entered the information into the MLS. Besides picking the type of property you can also pick the area. The Breckenridge area starts at Hoosier Pass at the far south end of Summit County. That includes the town of Blue River and also areas to the east, west, and north of Breckenridge as far as Farmers Corner (where the Blue River runs into Lake Dillon). That area tends to be almost half of the property for sale in Summit County, because of the large area of development.

Frisco comprises the town and surrounding neighborhoods. Usually it has the smallest number of properties for sale.

Copper Mountain is just the resort.

Dillon includes the town and nearby neighborhoods to the east toward Keystone. A few are Summit Cove, Whispering Pines and Soda Creek.

Keystone includes the resort and east to the continential divide which includes Montezuma.

Wildernest/Silverthorne comprises a large area from the town of Silverthorne, neighborhoods to the east and west (Wildernest) and north to the Grand County line past Heeney and the Green Mountain Reservoir.

Also listed are Grand County (Kremmling and outlying neighborhoods usually), Park County (Fairplay and Alma) and Leadville. Anything that does not belong in one of those areas will be entered in Other.

You can search including multiple types of properties and areas. Give it a try.
