BUYING A HOME IN SUMMIT COUNTY
Looking to buy a second home? Summit County rentals can be a great investment for many, not to mention the benefits a vacation home offers to your family and friends. Below are some important things to consider before purchasing a second home in the mountains.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A SECOND HOME IN SUMMIT COUNTY
- Determine why you want to buy a second home. Is it primarily an investment or a place for family and friends? The answer to this question will help determine your budget and what type of home you buy.
- How will this home be cared for when you’re not there? We offer a variety of management programs, from our full-service Platinum management for vacation rentals to our Silver management. Learn more about our management programs here.
- Consider all your options with the type of home you might purchase. Buying a stand-alone home allows for added privacy, access to greenspace and added square footage. Buying a condominium may give you access to shared amenities and standard maintenance for heating, pipes and more.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
When budgeting for this purchase, take into consideration taxes, carrying costs, insurance, utilities, HOA fees, home repair and the cost of a property management company (should you choose to use one).
RECOMMENDATIONS
Rent before you buy! Trying renting in various locations and different home types, and for varying amounts of time throughout the year. See what you like and don’t like. Maybe you thought you wanted to be further out but then realize you don’t want to depend on having a car or using the resort shuttle. Maybe you thought you wanted to be close to all the action but then realize you really want peace and quiet while in the mountains. It’s important to experience these things so you know what you want.

CLEARWATER LOFTS AT KEYSTONE
We also recommend Clearwater Lofts at Keystone. This complex offers high-end condominiums just east of Keystone Lake, so you’re walking distance from Lakeside Village with shops, restaurants and a variety of lake activities, plus you’re less than a half mile from the Mountain House lifts. And just south of the complex are the Snake River wetlands and beaver ponds. Enjoy the two shared hot tubs on-site. Standard for every condo is a full-sized washer and dryer, natural gas fireplaces and stainless steel appliances. Bonus feature: This complex is pet-friendly for homeowners!
The Clearwater Lofts at Keystone will have three similar buildings that will, in total, provide 65 new condominium units, ranging from one to four bedrooms, some with lofts and each with one, or in some cases, two private concrete decks. Construction began in early October 2019 and for Phase 1, the process should take about 14 months to complete. The developer’s principal is Alan Marks, a resident of Summit County, who holds a deep appreciation for the natural resources that this valley offers visitors. Care will be taken to provide and protect a natural landscaped setting, offering new owners the luxury of quiet, planned patios and outdoor relaxation areas. The complex offers two shared hot tubs as well as access to the nearby East Lake Clubhouse with an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and outdoor grill area. The in-resort shuttle will have a stop at the complex allowing owners and guests to be anywhere in the resort within minutes.
