Considering the dismal snow totals, I think the STR numbers are not so bad. The Town of Breckenridge reports STR rentals are up 2.1% for December 18th through January 4th. They report Winter Season bookings down 6%. We have had record bookings in the recent past so this is not so bad. If we could get a decent storm, it could turn this number around as well.

Breckenridge Short Term Rental (STR) properties in Zone 2 have worked through the surplus/ overage of in-hand licenses. We are now working with a 1 in 1 out system in Zone 2. There are a total of 22 owners currently on the waitlist that potentially get a license as a property sells and gives one up. Maybe 10 owners will get a license this year? Zone 3? Don’t hold your breath!
