Edgemont’s Current Financial Condition
Thursday, June 9, 2011
[tag]Edgemont[/tag] has $7M in outstanding debt that will be paid in full by May 2011. It’s over 50% sold, with 18 condos remaining. 70% of the original contract holders (back in 2007) closed, which underscores the viability of the project. Edgemont is not holding any contracts back as “potential sales” which could skew the numbers; the ones that didn’t close are back on the market and ready for new buyers.
New Edgemont Price List
Pricing for the remaining fifteen residences at [tag]Edgemont[/tag] as of April 22, 2011 are here. Some things to note:
- 2 Bedroom Units: The remainder of our two bedroom units have been reduced up to $275,000 from winter pricing and residences (#2306 & #2403) are now priced just under $1 million at $995,000.
- 3 Bedroom Units: #2402, #2408, #2502 and #2608 have each been reduced between $50,000 and $90,000.
In addition to the release of this new pricing, Edgemont is excited to announce the Spring/Summer 2011 Sales Program – NO OWNERSHIP COSTS UNTIL SKI SEASON 2011/2012 BEGINS! This means HOA Dues, Property Taxes & Electricity will be paid by the developers while you are sunbathing at the Edgemont pool this summer! On another note, Edgemont has had a few interested buyers inquire about [tag]partnership[/tag] opportunities for both usage and financial reasons. If you are interested in joining another family in ownership at Edgemont, please contact me, and I will be happy to help facilitate the discussion.
Storm Mountain Ranch developer sells home for $5.3 million
Tuesday, June 7, 2011
See more details about Storm Mountain RanchThe Steamboat Pilot reports that [tag]Storm Mountain Ranch[/tag] developer Jeff Temple and his wife, Kim, have sold their home on [tag]Water Song Lane[/tag] on a prime 70-acre tract fronting the largest pond in the development for $5.3 million. “We really feel fortunate,” Temple said. “I got a fair price. And the sale, with the price per square foot, shows the value of a shared ranch community. It’s a big accomplishment.” The 4,855-square-foot home sold for the equivalent of $1,091 per square foot, albeit on twin 35-acre lots at Storm Mountain. The buyer’s broker said her client acted when the price was reduced a second time to $5.7 million, and the deal was put together within a week. The home is all on one level with a family-style floor plan, and the home is easy to maintain, the broker said. It has a high level of finishes but succeeds in looking unpretentious. “It’s a house you can make a home,” she said.

Homes with 3 or more bedrooms in the Downtown, Fish Creek and Mountain area of [tag]Steamboat Springs[/tag] are now selling quickly. There may be more inventory on the horizon, but as of today, the last home listed as a [tag]REO[/tag] ([tag]Bank Owned[/tag]) on the Steamboat Springs MLS is under contract. Since January 1st, 2011, 44 homes have either sold or are pending sales that are scheduled to close soon. What’s left for [tag]Steamboat foreclosures[/tag] are some incredible deals on the newly constructed [tag]Long View Townhomes[/tag] in the $300k to $400k price range. Approximately 25% of the [tag]bank owned[/tag] sales are for homes over $1,000,000, so it not just the lower priced properties of Steamboat Springs market that are in demand. Historically low interest rates coupled with higher demand and less inventory means it’s time to get off the fence!.
Its all about timing, time to watch the 3 & 4 bedroom ski-in condo market in Steamboat
Sunday, March 6, 2011
If I were a betting man and willing to pick a niche market where Steamboat has rounded the corner and say with some confidence that we have hit bottom: ski-in, 3-bedroom condos with newer finishes for under $1 million would be my 1st pick. Torian Creekside is one property in this category. The best deals remaining there have a northeast view of the Steamboat Ski area. Absolutely fabulous views for now, but keep in mind a future development may get in the way of the view. Also, most of Torian Creekside residences built in 1999 could use some upgrading. Units 212, 312 and 418 have tile counters and cooks don’t like grout lines and ceramic tile counters. Replacing with granite or other solid surface such as quartz is a must. When the market rebounds in combination with a revitalized Ski Time Square, these are deals to watch from $650,000 to $1 million range. Look past the Chateaux Chamonix check-in area which needs a bit of freshness and this property offers some options at or just slightly above the $1 million mark. 3 bedroom luxury condos in the C building range from just under $1m to $1.2m. If you can afford more, now is the time to consider new construction while the deal is still on the table. Edgemont recently advertised 30% off the first 3 deals and they all sold. Then they offered 25% off the next 3 deals and those all sold. Now Edgemont is offering 20% off next 3. According to their sales staff one 3-bedroom is going under contract today. Prices reflect a discount off their pre-construction prices from 2007-08. Views, ski to the door, soak in the pool with one of the best views in the world, convenient, true ski-in/ski-out access to make shuffling the kids easier, this project lives up to its price with quality at around the $1.5 million mark. If you don’t mind crossing one road to the slopes and looking for a bank owned real estate deal tax assessment value at around $2 million and newly listed at $794,000 you better hurry. Highmark at Steamboat is selling fast. I called today for an update to find out that 3 of the residences listed at bargain prices had offers submitted.

One Steamboat Place and bank owned, ski in real estate
Thursday, March 3, 2011
Looking for a deal on the highest quality [tag]luxury ski-in condo Steamboat[/tag] has to offer? You’ll want to watch the progress on [tag]One Steamboat Place[/tag] which is currently making news. Steamboat Today reports:
$100 million in unpaid construction debt at One Steamboat Place is two weeks away, and the deadline has passed for the original investors to cure or redeem the matter.
The article further states that
One Steamboat Place has been vibrant this winter even with the overlying challenge we’ve been dealing with.
I can echo that comment as I have several clients with interest in fractional and full ownership at [tag]One Steamboat Place[/tag]. Currently there are no active listings on the [tag]Steamboat Springs MLS[/tag]. I believe the developers of [tag]One Steamboat Place[/tag] is having trouble negotiating their debt because there are 7 construction lenders, some who jumped into the hype of our bustling market in 2006-07 without any experience in resort properties, and are now wondering what they should do. If the 2 equity investors and 7 construction lenders could all see eye-to-eye and had allowed the sales team to make some deals as the market soured, they wouldn’t be in this position. More than a year ago I presented an offer to them for a 3-bedroom whole ownership. The developer would have liked to make the deal, but per the sales representative for Timber Resorts, the banks were not allowing the discount. This has been a typical process since the start of the national real estate decline several year ago; why can’t they learn from others’ past experience? [tag]Wildhorse[/tag] lenders should take note! Buyers out there are looking for deals - take a cut out of the boat’s bottom without puncturing the hull and the boat still floats! [tag]Steamboat’s luxury development[/tag] [tag]Highmark[/tag] had several distressed or bank-owned listings all of which have sold. Buyers with cash who have been watching our market for the past 2 years are jumping at the opportunity to scoop up the deals as soon as they hit the market. I’m currently in negotiations on 2 [tag]bank-owned properties[/tag] and both are in multiple offer situations. Since January I’ve presented over 10 offers for buyers on various [tag]bank owned properties[/tag] and all have either sold or are under contract. I’ll continue to keep an eye on One Steamboat Place. Feel free to give me call to talk more about our ski in ski out real estate offerings. Or check out my Ski condo website.
