Mountain home sales down so says the Denver Post

Saturday, September 10, 2011

I was reading the The Denver Post article a couple weeks back and was surprised to see my Dad’s company sign front and center under the caption

Sales of [tag]Colorado mountain-resort homes[/tag] in July lowest in years

Really? It sure didn’t feel that way to me! I had this plan to work less and play more this summer; [tag]mountain biking[/tag], [tag]fly fishing[/tag] and [tag]camping[/tag] with my wife and 4 year old son. But there’s been precious little time for that. steamboat-springs-colorado-camping.jpg However, as the proverb advises, when the sun is shining, it’s time to make hay. We did sneak a few fun days in because [tag]Steamboat[/tag] was just to beautiful to pass up!. This was the busiest summer I’ve had for sales since mid 2007 and I’m very thankful to everyone that trusted me with their real estate transactions this year, 2008 and 2009 were tough years to be in the [tag]Steamboat Real Estate[/tag] business. The pulse now? Busy! Stan from Land Title was mostly accurate in his statement that

Most of these homes are second homes, and banks just are not lending.

However, that depends on the buyer. [tag]Lending standards[/tag] are much stricter but not lending needs some clarification because out of 16 sales for me this year so far (4 of those currently pending), half of them had a lender, 3 were 100% financing utilizing the USDA home loan programs, 2 were seller financed and the other 3 were conventional loans with 20% or more down. My recent sale was a 2 bed [tag]condo[/tag] and the buyer got a loan from a local bank. You’ll hear that banks are not lending on condos, but you just have to know where to shop and be prepared to jump though some hoops. Do you have income and good credit? Give me a call or email me and I’ll help point you in the right direction to find some money to buy real estate. Reading between the lines in the article above

Going… going… GONE! The last bank owned home in the immediate vicinity of Steamboat Springs is under contract.

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

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

See more details about Torian Creekside

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.
