Steamboat Market Insights

Updated Dec, 15 2010

The Steamboat area has seen a definite increase in real estate activity during 2010.  The increase relates to sales completed during the year along with increased buyer activity on the Internet along with more locals and visitors looking in person.  Through the end of October, sales volume is up 62% over the prior year at $430 million and transactions more than doubled.  The unit volume includes quite a few small fractional sales at The Village in Steamboat that increases unit volumes more than $ volumes. 

Overall more people are taking advantage of the good selection and lower prices to choose their perfect place and we are starting to see some signs of life in the land market, albeit at discount prices. The market is experiencing an increasing shift to higher end properties with a high percentage of cash buyers in that range. Most segments of the market are seeing increased activity as prices have adjusted it's just that the higher end activity is seeing a stronger recovery volume wise.

So far during 2010, on average, properties in Steamboat Springs are selling for 87% of their listing price.  60% of the properties that sold closed between 90% and 100% of the listing price.  For those buyers seeking serious discounts from list price it should be noted that only 8% of properties sold for than less 75% of final listing price. What this tells us is that buyers are waiting until properties are priced appropriately.  Final selling price is often 30% or more lower than initial listing price but it usually takes price reductions to get an offer and get the price close enough that it will be accepted.  That said, it really pays to have an in depth understanding of properties you are interested in, so you know the value and we can work the deal appropriately. We have been able to help negotiate several contracts this year that were in that 8% with discounts of 25% or more.
