Fairplay, Colorado

As home prices in Breckenridge continue to climb, buyers looking for second homes, vacation properties, and real estate investments are turning their attention to a more affordable mountain alternative: Fairplay.

Top-producing real estate agent Brittany Karlyn and mortgage expert Jason Ruedy, known as The Home Loan Arranger, are seeing a surge in interest in Park County—particularly from buyers priced out of Summit County.

“Fairplay is one of the most overlooked opportunities in Colorado real estate right now,” says Karlyn. “You’re within a short drive to Breckenridge and world-class skiing, but home prices can be hundreds of thousands less. Buyers are starting to catch on.”

Located roughly 15–30 minutes from Breckenridge, Fairplay offers access to the same mountain lifestyle—skiing, hiking, fishing, and year-round outdoor recreation—at a significantly lower entry point. For buyers searching terms like “Colorado mountain homes,” “Breckenridge investment property,” or “affordable ski town real estate,” Fairplay is quickly emerging as a top contender.

Karlyn, who is becoming a recognized specialist in the Fairplay and Park County market, notes that demand is increasing as more buyers look for value, space, and long-term appreciation potential.

“We’re seeing second-home buyers, short-term rental investors, and even full-time relocations,” Karlyn explains. “The combination of proximity to Breckenridge and lower pricing makes Fairplay extremely attractive.”

From a financing standpoint, Jason Ruedy is helping buyers structure loans that align with both lifestyle and investment goals—whether purchasing a vacation home or building a rental portfolio.

“A lot of buyers don’t realize how accessible these properties can be with the right loan strategy,” says Ruedy. “We’re helping clients secure competitive financing for second homes and investment properties in Fairplay, often with flexible options that make the numbers work.”

As search trends continue to rise around “second home financing,” “DSCR loans for investment property,” and “Colorado mountain real estate,” both Karlyn and Ruedy believe Fairplay is positioned for continued growth.

“This is the kind of market where being early matters,” Ruedy adds. “Fairplay offers the lifestyle people want at a price point that still makes sense. That combination doesn’t last forever.”
