Why move to
Steamboat Springs, Colorado?
When
my friends Jerry and Terry decided to look for Steamboat Springs Homes
for sale a few years back, I wondered why they might consider retiring
there? Steamboat is about a 3 hour drive from the airport and tucked
into the mountains of northwest Colorado.
"They
were happy to have a bit cooler temperatures than they
might enjoy in Denver and more snow, while still enjoying the many days
of sunshine and deep blue skies Colorado is known for."
They told me the reason was because it was a
beautiful small town, near skiing, ranches and wildlife, and that homes
were more affordable there. “They were happy to have a bit cooler
temperatures than they might enjoy in Denver and more snow, while still
enjoying the many days of sunshine and deep blue skies Colorado is
known for.” They also fell in love with horses, and found that there
are many homes for sale in Steamboat Springs, CO where you can have a
horse or nearby ranch in your own backyard and go trail-riding without
having to trailer the horses.
When you get a Colorado Exclusive Buyer Agents
Association buyer broker from Steamboat Springs, you will have access
to all homes for sale. If you are coming in from out of state, you will
be pleased to see properties this winter without getting stuck in the
snow, as your buyer agent has a snow-worthy vehicle and knows the
mountain roads very well.
Steamboat Springs is a unique destination because the weather is
nearly perfect year round. The word “perfect” as it was used doesn’t
mean that it is always warm, nor does it mean that there is little
precipitation. In fact, perfect during the winter months means that the
temperatures stay below freezing and it often snows in large amounts.
In the summer however, perfect means that the sun is almost always
shining, and rain rarely ruins a day.
Since September 2008, the
sales of homes in Steamboat have taken a slight shift upward. The
annual average purchase price has continued to escalate and as of
October 2008 was about $775,000 which is a 2.1% increase from
September. The foreclosures remained the same as September with 7 and
the median price of $185,000.
Many people that look at Steamboat Springs
homes also consider the communities of Clark, Columbine, Craig, Hahns
Peak, Hayden, Milner, Oak Creek, Stagecoach and Steamboat Lake for
other rural homes for sale.
Hard to believe just a year or two ago we were scrambling for
something to sell to the numerous buyers looking to invest in
Steamboat. The basics have not changed for this resort community.
Intrawest is continuing investments in the ski area. The Urban Renewal
Authority is continuing improvements to the base area.
So although the number of real estate transactions has declined and
the inventory levels have increased, the average sales price has
actually increased in Steamboat Springs. Now, that's not to say there
are not some really good deals out there. We are seeing some motivated
sellers dropping $50k, $100k, and even in the high end price range,
$500k.
And even those sellers who are holding steady with their price,
they're more willing to pay for some HOA fees, buy down the already
incredible interest rate, or throw in a furniture package to get the
deal done.
So if you've been considering an investment in Steamboat Springs
real estate, now is a great time to get a really good deal. I'd love to
help you find just the right fit!
