Top 7 Reasons For Buying Real Estate In a Ski Town
The words "ski town" evoke an entire collection of positive emotions and memories for many. Maybe it's a first college ski trip, maybe mom and dad teaching you to ski, or first time hiking to a true alpine lake. Ski towns are unique in many ways, so here would be the 7 top reasons for owning a piece of your favorite ski town.
Nothing brings families together just like a ski vacation. Younger generations traditionally study from older generations and people instruction is passed down combined with the memories. Add in the end-of-the-year family-centric holidays including Thanksgiving and Christmas, and President's Weekend and Spring Break, and what goes together better than families and snow? Most ski town homes and condominiums are designed round the "great room" with accommodations for multi-generations. And several aging skiers need to leave "legacy" properties to the family for even more generations of delight and memories.
Ski towns, or even more known as "mountain resort communities" today, are wonderful places to retire or semi-retire. Year 'round recreation is plentiful. So are special entertainment events and fine dining. And "duality"(having more than one home in varying but unique environments) is ever more popular; mountain and tropical for instance.
Summer!! As the winter adrenaline sports like skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, crow-country skiing, etc. are the initial draw to ski towns, many new property owners discover the splendor of summer; wonderful climates, much more scenic beauty, even more recreational opportunities, a variety of cultural events, and relaxation. That old adage in mountain resort communities is, "come for the winter, stay for that summers."
These locales typically represent some of the most pristine regions of the country; think the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, The Tetons, etc. Because the world becomes increasingly polluted, many mountain resort communities are protected by layers of governmental ownership and land use controls, watershed rights, and by powerful environmental groups. These layers of protection in many cases are the roadblock to resort town over expansion and degradation. This protection will maintain the pristine quality for our children and grandchildren.
Big ski resorts are successful business enterprises. Gone are the days of family owned ski resort. Today they're of publicly owned companies or equity funds. Modern corporate ski resort management focuses on peak customer experience while turning profits, plus they perform very well. Add in real estate development and property management for increased profits. Plus they increasingly align with the top hospitality companies as well as their franchises.
Ski town ownership traditionally attracts a far more affluent clientele making the market less susceptible to the vagaries from the economy.
Most ski towns possess a full-range of affordability. True, places like Aspen are down right expensive. But many ski towns across America have a significant number of properties and price ranges making the dream a possible reality for many.
Ski towns remain a unique experience of America, a throwback to our European forefathers and the old world traditions of chance, recreation, social interaction, and the appreciation in our familial generations. Combined with depressed values, low-interest rates, and the have to re-create, now is a lot of fun to acquire in your favorite ski town.
