Colorado Ski Markets Are Heating Up: Summit County, Breck, Vail, Aspen & More (with Key Data)

In this episode of Mountain Real Estate, Candice De sits down with Daniel Leifeld of Key Data to unpack what’s really happening across Colorado’s vacation rental markets heading into ski season. Using direct-source reservation data (not scraped listings) from Key Data, Daniel breaks down occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, booking windows, and demand drivers for Summit County, Vail, Aspen/Snowmass, Steamboat, Telluride, and more. Whether you’re a buyer, homeowner, or property manager, you’ll learn how to evaluate deals, price smarter, and avoid the #1 projection mistake. We also cover how DMO marketing, inventory mix, and Easter timing impact bookings—and why demand for STRs remains extremely high. Resources & Links: Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/VnwmDHrdodEConnect with Key Data: Daniel Leifeld; [email protected] Work with Candice De | Mountain Real Estate: [email protected] Get my STR Underwriting Worksheet (free): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uu-7B817K55OBE4pHeo6J05ZbAuCr5aK/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108716399741229385573&rtpof=true&sd=true Subscribe to the newsletter for monthly Summit County market updates: https://amynakos.com/newsletter/ About the show: I’m Candice De—realtor, investor, engineer, mom, and Colorado native—covering real estate from Denver to Summit County. Subscribe for weekly insights on buying, selling, investing, STRs, ADUs, and mountain-town living. 👉 Subscribe & hit the bell for new episodes 👉 Comment: Which market surprised you most—Breck, Aspen, Steamboat, or Telluride? 👉 Share with a friend who’s eyeing a Colorado ski-area STR #ColoradoRealEstate #SummitCounty #Breckenridge #Vail #Aspen #Steamboat #Telluride #ShortTermRental #VacationRental #SkiSeason #RealEstateInvesting #KeyData #MountainRealEstate
