Summer in Vail is more than just sunshine and wildflowers—it's a season full of world-class events, vibrant energy, and an ever-changing real estate landscape. Between the mountain adventures and the cultural scene, July and August bring a unique rhythm to the valley—and a fresh wave of visitors who fall in love with the lifestyle.

A Town That Moves to Its Own Beat

From the stunning performances of the Vail Dance Festival to the unforgettable sounds of Bravo! Vail, this time of year brings an incredible mix of people to town. Artists, musicians, second-homeowners, and first-time visitors all come together to enjoy the beauty and inspiration that only Vail can offer. These events don’t just enhance the quality of life here—they also spotlight why so many people choose to invest in this one-of-a-kind mountain community.

What I’m Seeing in the Market

As we move through summer, inventory has slowly started to rise, offering buyers a bit more breathing room. Properties that are priced well and show beautifully—especially those with updated finishes, outdoor living areas, or proximity to trails and lifts—are still selling quickly.

At the same time, sellers are benefiting from the high number of summer visitors, especially as events like Bravo and the Dance Festival bring out-of-town buyers who are often making spontaneous or emotionally driven purchases after experiencing just how special life in Vail can be.

Buyer Trends

Right now, I’m seeing strong interest in:

• Turnkey homes and condos in Vail Village and Lionshead

• Golf course properties in Cordillera and Eagle Ranch

• Lock-and-leave options for second homeowners

• Homes with rental potential for short-term stays

If you're buying, this is an excellent window to explore—before fall listings hit and ski-season buyers jump in.

For Sellers: Timing Is On Your Side

Listing in summer means your home is shown at its best: green lawns, warm lighting, and stunning views. My marketing strategy includes:

• Professional photography and drone footage

• Online ads targeted to Vail’s key feeder markets (like Texas, Florida, and California)

• Postcards and local outreach

• Direct agent-to-agent communication to spark interest

Whether you're selling a condo in East Vail or a custom home in Cordillera, positioning matters—and I’ll make sure your property stands out.
