Steamboat auction of Trailhead condos - fire sale pricing. A 3 bedroom residence originally advertised at $1,600,000 was just advertised at $425,000. Sounds too good to be true? It might very well be! $425,000 is the minimum bid price, but it’s not the reserve price ( “unpublished” price determined by the seller) Make sure you read the fine print. This is a good example of why you should be represented by a Real Estate Agent when deciding if this opportunity is for you. As stated in Trailhead Auction Brochure by Kennedy Wilson:

The list price is the opening bid for Auction Day: Sunday, May 6th. All residences including unit 4104, 3 bed, 3 bath, 1544 sq ft unit advertised at $425,000 “have an “unpublished” reserve price, which means that the seller has established an “unpublished” minimum selling price. The Starting Bid is not the reserve price. The highest bid is subject to acceptance by the seller. All offers are subject to Seller’s acceptance and will not be reviewed prior to auction date:5/6/2012 The builder reserves the right to modify features, plans, specifications, and materials without notice The square footage shown is approximate and is not based upon the dimensions shown in the condominium plan and does not reflect the usable square footage of the interior ares of a unit. It is the responsibility of all prospective buyers to inspect the residences prior to the auction and satisfy themselves as to their physical condition Purchasers will become members of the Trailhead Lodge Homeowners association and Wildhorse Meadows Master Association.

 Auction preview is open daily from 11AM to 6PM Auction Day Sunday May 6th, 2012 1PM at Denver Marriott City Center. Bidders are advised to arrive no later than noon. Auction Seminar Sunday April 29 at 1PM

Steamboat vacation rentals and alternative for condo owners paying upwards of 40% fees

Saturday, January 21, 2012

Planning to vacation in [tag]Steamboat[/tag] soon? Our local management companies such as [tag]Steamboat Resorts[/tag] and [tag]Resort Quest[/tag] are top notch for service, but you may find as good or better deal using one of the internet companies. Looking at the rental income statements for my Sellers using a local management company, its pretty typical to see only 50% of the nightly [tag]rental income[/tag] ending up in the pockets of the owner. If the that owner lists with one of the following companies, then most of that rental income ends up in their pocket, allowing the flexibility to offer cheaper Steamboat [tag]condo[/tag] and [tag]home[/tag] [tag]rentals[/tag]. For most property owners trying to rent on their own, scheduling key service, cleaning, and maintenance is more of a burden then they want to deal with. For those who have a system they can offer some good deals on vacation rentals in Steamboat. Here are a few examples: http://www.airbnb.com/ http://VRBO.com http://HomeAway.com The New York Times reports on how to surf for a vacation rental. If you have questions about rental investment real estate in the [tag]Steamboat Springs real estate[/tag] market, condos and homes for sale or would like a list of the local vacation rental services, I’m here to help.

Condo buying season in Steamboat Springs is here! Ski-in convenience with walk-to-ski value; rent your real estate to defray costs

I often am asked which condos rent the best in the [tag]Steamboat Springs real estate[/tag] market. This is usually answered simply and overwhelmingly with [tag]ski-in ski-out[/tag]. However, rental income for a [tag]ski-in[/tag] [tag]condo[/tag] will vary depending on the condition of the residence. A newer or recently renovated condo within walking distance to Steamboat skiing will cost much less and see higher rental revenues than a fixer-upper ski-in condo. I’ve had a couple of owners of [tag]slope-side[/tag] condos recently state they barely covered their home owner association (HOA) and resort management fees last two seasons. This is due in part to the slow economy and increased inventory from a building boom in 2007, but is also due to the price point and the condo rating. Price conscious travelers in many instances are opting for a [tag]Trappeurs[/tag] condo, such as [tag]Emerald[/tag] or [tag]Bear Lodge[/tag], because they can get higher quality and another bedroom for the same price. Bear Lodge is about 2 blocks East of [tag]Gondola Square[/tag]. At times, a 3 bedroom will rival the rental price of a 2 bed ski-in. Patio units with private hot tubs are popular as well. The quality finishes and convenient amenities like pools, hot tubs and fitness rooms add value. Many travelers will choose to walk a block to skiing for a 4 star or A-rated experience. A trend we are seeing near the slopes is older buildings taking on a new look. The [tag]West[/tag] and The [tag]Phoenix[/tag], both within walking distance to the slopes, have beautiful new exteriors. The assessments were steep, but the payoff of the HOA special assessment (if not paid by seller already) can always be negotiated in a contract to purchase. For example, many condominiums at the West could use kitchen upgrades to boost rental demand; regardless, a studio condo netted an income after HOA fees, management fees and taxes. Depending on your personal use, its typical to see rental incomes offset those carrying costs before your debt service. Prices are around 20 to 40% off our high sales in 2007. Several condominium developments within walking distance to Steamboat’s Gondola Square and ski slopes are worth investigating before the winter sales season because they may be new, newly renovated or show consistent rental revenue from good management and marketing. Under $500,000 look to are The West, Phoenix and [tag]The Lodge at Steamboat[/tag]. Over $500,000 but under $1,000,000, and for more bedrooms, look to Emerald or Bear Lodge at Trappeurs. If you don’t mind a short walk to the slopes and rental income is important to you, look past the slopes and you will certainly find more bang for your buck without sacrificing convenience.

One Steamboat Place restructures debt

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

See more details about One Steamboat Place

The Steamboat Pilot reports that the cloud of a [tag]foreclosure[/tag] filing by a consortium of seven lending banks has been removed and that [tag]Timbers Resorts[/tag] can begin closing some pending contracts and pursuing new sales at reduced prices. This bodes well for [tag]steamboat real estate[/tag] property. Timbers Resorts CEO David Burden said

We and our investor group have made significant multimillion-dollar capital contributions to continue our forward momentum, as well as arranged financing for prospective owners at [tag]One Steamboat Place[/tag]. With this loan restructure completed, the banks are now fully behind One Steamboat Place. The terms of the modified loan, along with additional capital invested from our partners, have provided a very solid footing for the continued sellout of the remaining units in the project. The original motion for foreclosure that had been made by the banks was not the result of poor performance at One Steamboat Place.

One Steamboat Place broke ground in late summer 2007 and continued construction through a record snow winter. It posted $15.25 million in sales during its first round of closings in November 2009. The project includes 80 large condominiums with 38 whole-ownership vacation homes among them.

Foreclosure sale of One Steamboat Place delayed for 6th time

Thursday, June 16, 2011

See more details about One Steamboat Place

The Steamboat Pilot reports that the scheduled foreclosure sale of the remaining unsold luxury condominium units at One Steamboat Place has been postponed for the sixth time, this time until June 29. One Steamboat Place has continued to operate as a resort lodging property for both owners and guests, and was busy throughout the 2010-11 ski season. The managers of the property say it has a strong homeowners association. David Burden of Timbers Resorts, which led the construction and continues to manage the property, said last year

I’m positive we’re working this out. My partners are willing to invest many (additional) millions, but only on certain terms. … We’re very confident we’ll get this loan restructured

Routt County Public Trustee Jeanne Whiddon said Wednesday that in theory, the series of postponed sale dates could stretch into next year. The deadline for the lenders to either withdraw their notice of election demand, which constitutes a foreclosure filing, or take the property through to a foreclosure sale is March 16, 2012. Sales since November have reduced the outstanding balance on the construction loan to less than $100 million. The last developer’s sale at One Steamboat Place was recorded on April 8.
