Economy Boost
Vail and Beaver Creek See Record Hotel Sales in 2017In addition to a white-hot single family housing market in Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado, condominium sales within the area’s luxury hotel-resorts are similarly demonstrating growth. Investors are looking toward the Vail Valley as a place to invest based on the area’s accessibility to major metropolises’ along with unparalleled, year-round recreational offerings. The trend of these record-breaking hotel sales helps strengthen the overall resort economy, while simultaneously positioning the area as a true international destination. Hotel sales also demonstrate a sign of continued and planned investment into the area, which is a positive catalyst for a healthy real estate market. Additionally, when a hotel property changes hands, there is often a large-scale renovation that takes place shortly thereafter, allowing for the resort communities of the Vail Valley and Beaver Creek to stay cutting edge.
