What to Look For When Buying

Location Within the Village:Proximity to lifts, dining, and amenities affects value and rental income. Properties 100 feet from the slopes rent better than properties 300 feet away.

Recent Updates:Kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring drive value. Properties with recent renovations command higher prices and rent for more.

HOA Financial Health:Review reserve funds, budgets, and meeting minutes. Healthy HOAs maintain properties and avoid special assessments.

Rental Restrictions:Confirm the HOA allows short-term rentals if you're buying for investment. Copper Mountain permits STRs, but individual buildings may have restrictions.

Views:Mountain views, slope views, and golf course views add value. Properties facing parking lots or other buildings are worth less.

Parking:Assigned parking spaces matter. Buildings with limited parking create logistical problems for owners and renters.

What's Selling:Updated properties with ski-in ski-out access sell quickly. Well-maintained units with recent renovations attract multiple offers.

Buyer Profile:Mix of in-state and out-of-state buyers. Remote work trends brought new buyers from California, Texas, and other states.

Cash buyers and high-income buyers dominate. First-time buyers with limited budgets face challenges in this price range.
