The summer real estate market in Summit County is active—but not chaotic—and that’s good news whether you’re buying or selling.
Let’s start with the big picture: more homes are available right now than we’ve seen in years. Over 900 residential properties are on the market across Summit County, which means more choices for buyers and more competition for sellers.
Real estate market for Buyers
Buyers now have more time to breathe. There can still be bidding wars for properties but they are much less frequent. In general, buyers have more choices and more time these days. While the average home price in June was $1.52 million, and the median was $1.09 million, there’s a wide range of listings across price points. The largest selection of homes in Summit County are priced between $500,000 – $1,000,000. Whether you’re dreaming of a ski condo, mountain retreat, or income property, it’s a smart time to explore options—especially before fall activity picks up.
Real estate market for Sellers
For sellers, it’s still a healthy market, but pricing and presentation matter more than ever. About 14% of listings are going under contract —which feels so much slower than recent years when about 1 in 4 listings were moving. This shift doesn’t mean the market is stalling—sales are actually slightly ahead of last year at this time. With homes taking longer to sell and so many more of them on the market, the sales just aren’t as noticeable.
Overall real estate market in Summit County
What we’re seeing now is a more thoughtful, opportunity-driven real estate market in Summit County. Whether you’re looking to buy before ski season or considering listing your property, the keys in today’s market are strategy and patience.
