Where are all these Steamboat home buyers coming from?

Recent showings of my equestrian - recreational property on the road to Steamboat Lake were younger families from southern states. They tend to have middle school - high school aged kids and are looking for a place to play outdoors with access to public lands, privacy from neighbors, and the possibility of moving here permanently. You can take a virtual tour of Phantom Springs Ranch here.

With Increased Demand Comes Increased Home Values

In 26 years of real estate I didn’t do many sales in excess of $1M. In the past 60 days from this post date, there have been a total of 32 pending and closed sales for single homes over $2M. The average price of a home in Steamboat Springs is now $1.4M up 18% since this time last year, here are the home sales in the past 30 days. Low inventory, cost of land, high construction cost and high demand since COVID-19 continues to drive up prices.

During October, residential properties in Steamboat Springs went under contract in 15 days on average.

Lets Break another Record

My actual wish is to see a record year of snow, this last couple months of home sales is concerning because its not always a good thing to grow too fast, but always a good thing to see abundant powder. See Steamboat’s snow alarm.

Setting a benchmark at crisis time, Steamboat Springs Real Estate

Sunday, March 22, 2020

Having been in this business for close to 30 years now, I know what to expect at times of crisis. We still have pent-up demand for real estate in Steamboat Springs and low supply, but not much is moving which could mean our market is about to change.

To monitor change, set a benchmark, and watch the market. (I had to redact my original thought here), I’m first to admit I didn’t anticipate the effect of COVID-19 and end result for the Steamboat Real Estate Market. See what I have sold lately.

You can sign up to receive market reports directly from our MLS by contacting me.

The West Condos in Steamboat SpringsWest Condos with 3 or more bedrooms for sale are rare. The last one posted to the MLS that closed was in April 2008 for $495,000. But not all deals are necessarily found online. Our local newspaper notes a 3 bed sale at The West condos for $385,000. I’m not sure if this was a Arm’s Length Transaction, but if so, the Buyer got a heck of deal. Value depending on quality finishes may be around $500k.
