SUMMIT COUNTY - The local real estate market in 2009 took a hit similar to nearby counties, but a few large transactions helped to soften the blow.
The $107 million sale of Copper Mountain and the record-breaking $8.3 million home that sold in Breckenridge were among highlights in a year when transactions overall were down 32 percent.
"We've all suffered a pretty drastic decline compared with previous years when people had all that disposable income that they wanted to spend," said Brooke Roberts, marketing director with Land Title Guarantee Company in Summit County.
She said transactions are taking four to six weeks to get closed, which is about twice as long as in previous years, because of increased complications in getting loans.
There were 136 transactions of more than $1 million in 2009 - a decline from 177 in 2008 and 208 in 2007.
But 2009 also had eight transactions of more than $3 million, which is more than the preceding two years.

BRECKENRIDGE - Breckenridge Town Council this Tuesday is to discuss extending its open house sign ordinance, which was approved last year to sunset in March.
The town's planning department "believes the ordinance has been a success and has worked well," and the Summit Association of Realtors has requested the town consider extending the ordinance or making it permanent, according to a town staff memo.
The ordinance allows for up to three off-premise open house signs outside the historic district, with time limits and design standards among other requirements.
Council is also to discuss plans for improving bike route way-finding and safety this spring through signs and striping. The town would spend up to $10,000 on the project this year, with annual re-striping costs of about $10,000 year for the following years.
Other items include the Upper Blue Basin Master Plan, and discussion as well as preliminary approval for ballot items for the public to consider

BRECKENRIDGE - Even with multiple degrees from American and French colleges and a master's degree in mathematics, CMC associate professor Benedicte Manwaring is not afraid to say she struggles in her work.
"I struggle just the way the students struggle. I had to work to understand math, but I really, really enjoyed it," said the instructor who teaches classes ranging from survey of calculus, to math for liberal arts majors, at the Summit Campus of Colorado Mountain College.
Manwaring and Joanne Yantz, who teaches English, business and education classes at the college, were recently named full-time and adjunct faculty of the year, respectively, for CMC's Summit Campus.
Overcoming own challenges can make an instructor more accessible
