I'll open the following year's Peak season around May/June timeframe (summer beach market) with a significant premium (30% plus) out past 10 months. 

Although I work infill in a few markets like this and were I live in Portlandia is a prime example once it starts it simply does not stop. price points will peak like any market  but once you start to turn a corner it keeps going .. pace is always ebb and flow. but its not like low value areas that are still the pitts and only hope if rental income.

As we have approached the peak of real estate values in the current cycle, this has been all but impossible without being creative and taking the road less traveled by bigger investors.

@Brigham Lewis if your ok with missing out on college life, don’t have a major in mind, then I suggest taking courses that peak your interest in community college or start working in a real estate position of some sort.

However, interest rates continue to fall (which is good) BUT it seems the housing market generally may have peaked, which could impact my appraisal value if I wait. 

Lead / Deadwood is further north and has gained popularity for adults due to gambling in Deadwood and is a good winter area due to Terry Peak skiing and snowmobiling.

Go up after a great snow day to Bretton Woods, Wildcat, Spruce Peak, Stratton and its all thick powder!

This can be a primarily weekend business but during school vacation both new Hampshire and Massachusetts as well as Christmas week you should expect to get at least a 5 night stay if not a full week at peak prices.

House was worth 650k at the peak right after we bought it.We will move to Charlotte, NC in June once the kids are out of school for the summer.

I would go to his seminars back in '04-'05, when REI fear-mongering was at its peak, the guest speakers would prophesyon how the market was out of control and we needed to buy buy, and buy now, there would be no more RE for us poor people. lolMarshall never spoke that way, he was always encouraging and providing us with the tools for success, it was up to us to sift through the nonsense.
