11 Year High today for Nasdaq ... Real Estate in Steamboat is at a 5 to 30 yr Low
Friday, February 3rd, 2012 at 1:38pm. 38 Views, 0 Comments.
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…

Colorado Foreclosures drop to the lowest rate in 4.5 years
Wednesday, November 16th, 2011 at 11:03am. 117 Views, 0 Comments.
The latest statewide stats show continued improvement in Colorado. People from Denver and front range make up about half of our real estate market in Steamboat Springs so increasing confidence statewide makes more people comfortable to look more seriously in Steamboat. I have 5 people from the front range looking seriously or under contract and most mentioned improvements in their local housing markets as a reason they got serious. While we are not out of the woods yet inflection points in Colorado and other key markets for Steamboat are a great sign and people from these areas have gotten more serious about securing their home in Steamboat as a result.
From the Denver Post "Colorado foreclosures fell more than expected last month to a 42-month low…

It's been a busy summer but feedback like this from clients makes it a pleasure to work so hard. Thank you Clayton and Anne who came to me through a broker collegue from the Luxury Real Estate Board of Regents in Boulder. Lew Kingdom of www.wrightkingdom.com is a true pro in Boulder, CO. I am fortunate to work with some very sophisitcated brokers around the country and I learn something from nearly every client because they are too.
"The Steamboat trip went well. Jon was certainly helpful; especially when you consider the short notice. He was organized, prompt, and quickly understood our needs. He spent several hours with us on both Saturday and Sunday. We got a good feel for the different neighborhoods and the available properties. Given what…

One Steamboat Place reveals their step out of Foreclosure tomorrow
Tuesday, July 5th, 2011 at 4:31pm. 726 Views, 0 Comments.
We should hear tomorrow on how One Steamboat Place will exit foreclosure tomorrow after a multi-year re-financing that could stabilize the project going forward. Expect to see new prices, likely a different ownership structure that comes out of the negotiations & manuvering we have been watching for a few months and hopefully a plan that makes enough sense for buyers to step forward. How do you know? Lets see the final announcements, prices and parties that are involved and then give me a call if you want an independent opinion. Both the whole and fractional plans need to make sense because of the way the building and HOA is structured. I will help you think through things and help you get a feel for if things make sense in general and based on…
