IRVINE, CA—Thanks to the popularity of its inaugural Best Ski Towns for Real Estate Investing list for 2014, the RealtyTrac editorial team has done it again, and released a “new and improved” list for 2015.
This time around the RealtyTrac staff skied its way to 18 towns that matched the seven criteria for a best ski town for real estate investing (see methodology in info graphic with special thanks to the folks at ZRankings). The towns are spread throughout the western US, with three each in Washington, Colorado, California and Idaho, two each in Utah and Montana, and one each in Oregon and Wyoming.
RealtyTrac also searched high and low on its databases to find both bargain properties as well as budget buster properties in the top 10 ranked towns.
The budget-buster properties range from a relatively frugal $675,000 in Georgetown, CO, to a whopping $11.5 million in Bozeman, MT, which ironically also boasts the lowest-priced bargain property, a bank-owned home being sold at auction with a current bid of $60,000.
