Fun Fact From 25 Years Ago

I just saw a cool little fact in the back of the Steamboat Today newspaper.  25 years ago the mountain opened up with 2 feet of snow and did away with the traditional “rope drop”.  This is when the skiers would be at the top of the mountain and ski patrol would literally drop the rope so that early-bird skiers could hit the first tracks. Instead, the line now forms at the base of the ski lifts where skiers start the morning off waiting for Thunderhead Express, Christy Express or the Silver Bullet Gondola. I remember waiting for that rope to drop and the mad rush to get the best line. Do you remember the rope drop? Let us know!

 

Also, take a look at some of our new listings and great price drops:

SC220-02Hit the slopes early from this Storm Meadows condo located just steps from the mountain.  Priced at only $159,000 this is an amazing way to get into Steamboat Real estate.

If you’re looking for the perfect family home, this Montana Log ext_1home in the Heritage Park neighborhood could be what you need.  Very spacious and well maintained, this home sits near parks, golf, a school, and the Yampa River. 

 

Another amazing vacant lot option is this Sanctuary lot with huge mountain and south valley views.  This is the hottest spot for home building right now, with a handful of luxury homes going up on this street.  Offered at only $590,000, it’s ready to build on now. 

 

1____Off the market for a couple weeks, this luxurious Highmark unit has just come back on at a new lower price of $939,000.  This is one of the best values for a luxury condo right near the ski area base.  Great amenities and an attentive staff make this one of the easiest places to enjoy your Steamboat vacation.

Real Estate Sales Hit Highest Level in Four Years

According to a new article in the Denver Post, a late end of the year surge in the market pushed 2012 resort area real-estate sales to their highest levels since 2008.  Steamboat has seen a slower rebound than some of the other resorts in the state, but we still had a 7% increase in sales.  Steamboat usually shows a lag in trends behind

DSCN0082 national cities, Denver, and even some of the closer resorts to the Front Range.  That being said, maybe it’s a good thing because as people miss the bottom of the market in other areas, they still have a chance to scoop up a great deal in Steamboat. 

 

Some trends are showing that investors are shifting from financial returns to lifestyle returns; meaning people are less scared of losing money and more interested in living the lifestyle they want. 

 

Many people think that the market has seen the bottom and will now start to rise.  People realize that if they get in the market now, they are not facing the risk of large price drops. 

 

See the full Denver Post Real Estate article here.

 

Come take a look at what we have to offer in Steamboat.  We hope to see you soon and are very encouraged by the recent uptick in activity.  Call us if you would like to see any Steamboat Real Estate or if you have any questions about properties around town.  Take care and enjoy the coming spring!
