Townhomes and Condos on the golf course still a bargain compared to ski in real estate in Steamboat Springs

Monday, August 31, 2015

Golf course 4th teeGolf season rounds the corner to Ski Season and temps are dropping to the low 40s in the morning. We may be feeling a cool off with the weather, but the market is hot as ever.

This is especially true for homes and townhomes priced under $700,000.  Since June 1, 2015, 147 Condos or Townhomes in the mountain area have either sold and closed or are pending sales.  Same search for active listings yields only 83 properties as of today’s date.  

When you narrow your search to 3+ bedrooms for under $700,000, there are only 25 Steamboat condos or townhomes listed for sale in the mountain area. Factor in HOA fees and try and find dues less than $3000/year and now you have 5 choices. 

Location, location, you won’t find anything close to the ski slopes for under $700,000 with 3 or more bedrooms and low HOA dues, but you can live on the 4th tee of Rolling Stone Ranch and Golf course. 

Currently, the following listing is the lowest priced townhome or condo on the golf course. This property is next to homes from the low millions to  homes from $2 million and up.  The complex has only 5 units and its the lowest priced on the golf course.
