According to press release this week "Nearly 35 percent of the nineteen 1/12th fractional residences have been sold and interest remains strong thanks to the increasing popularity of fractional opportunities within the mountain real estate market."

“We’re thriving in a unique micro-climate,” said Jeff Meier, senior director of sales and marketing for Four Seasons Residence Club Vail. “Vail real estate buyers see the pace at which inventory is diminishing and are responding more quickly. We’re still experiencing strong demand, from both domestic and international marketplaces.”

Meier cited interest from the international market, including Mexico, Canada, and South America, as a recent buying trend for Vail, Colo. real estate, and for the property.

“About 19 percent of our buyers have come from outside the U.S. and inquiries from these areas are growing,” added Meier.

Meier added that interest in fractional and destination club opportunities in the mountain real estate industry is rising. “As baby boomers search for retirement opportunities, we’re seeing a greater interest in new, more flexible and lower maintenance vacation property.”

Meier also cited the Four Seasons Residence Club Vail fractional use plan configuration. The plan features a guaranteed prime ski vacation, a prime summer vacation, and the ability to purchase consecutive calendar interests. This flexibility is ideal for extended families and friends that plan vacations together, and the number of buyers who purchase more than one interest is growing dramatically. It is also possible to exchange to other destinations within the Four Seasons Residence Clubs portfolio.
