11 Year High today for Nasdaq ... Real Estate in Steamboat is at a 5 to 30 yr Low

We live in interesting times. Our economy is not great but I agree with many economist's conclusion that it is remarkably durable given the challenges of the last few years. There are definitely challenges ahead but we are seeing improvements in many key factors and the horizon looks better than it has in years.
I am not a believer in efficient markets because they so often swing to far each way and react as much on emotion as data. Seeing the headlines about Nasdaq hitting 11 year highs while there is improvement but not good times yet formed a stark contrast in my mind. I am not a believer in efficient markets because they so often swing to far each way and react as much on emotion as data. I think that we are seeing an example of this…

Looking back at 2011 and Forward to 2012 - Real Estate in Steamboat Springs
Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 at 11:22pm. 28 Views, 0 Comments.
Jon recently had the opportunity to present his analysis of the state of the local Real Estate Market to the Steamboat Chamber of Commerce. His presentation outlined events, notable sales and trends from 2011 and then looked forward to 2012 based on shifts we are seeing.
Jon’s presentation began with an overview of the sales volume from the past 8 years in Steamboat. While overall sales volume of 2011 was 88% of the previous year, the shift can be accounted for in a few factors. A few notable reasons for the decrease vs. 2010 include:
- The Large quantity of National Club/Timeshare sales in The Village. $94M in 2010 down to $38M in 2011
- The Lower average selling prices in much of the market
- And fewer high-end distressed Single Family…

Mountain Biking Howelsen Hill in the Winter
Friday, January 6th, 2012 at 10:13am. 108 Views, 0 Comments.
With the snow being a bit more sparse this year than in the past, many people in Steamboat have made a shift towards a different sport of choice. Skiing and snowmobiling have taken a bit of a backseat for many, and people have been finding different ways to get out and enjoy Steamboat in the winter. After hearing rumors of the mountain bike trails being rideable on Emerald, we decided to pull our bikes out of storage and give a ride on the mountain a shot. Dressing in far more bulky clothing than regularly would seem appropriate for a biking adventure, we quickly peddled over to Howelsen Hill, quite excited. We rode the single-track Lupine trail up to the Quarry, stopping at the top only briefly to add a few layers and admire a familiar view with a…

Mt Werner Opens for the 2011/2012 Winter Season
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011 at 5:57pm. 218 Views, 0 Comments.
Mt. Werner is now officially open for the winter! Everyone was out this morning and excited to be a part of 2011-12's inaugural day. The Winter Sports Club passed out candy and hot cocoa in the lift line while everyone was serenaded by The Yampa Valley Boys, a country western band, as they boarded the gondola. Hearing the excitement from groups of people as we skied around the mountain reminded us of how fortunate we were to be on the mountain for opening day and we added a few whoops and hollers of our own as we took to the slopes. The conditions were great. It was obvious the crews worked hard to get the perfect corduroy ready for the first runs of the season. To our surprise there were even a few un-groomed runs that were open, which put our legs…
