May Market Stats from Land Title

Melissa Gibson from Land Title reports about the Steamboat Springs real estate market for May 2018 in the email excerpt below:

“Our May numbers in Routt county were very similar to May of 2017.  Total transactions were 140 compared to 148 last year and our gross sales volume was $70.15M compared to $71.56M last year.  Year to date, our gross volume is down -9.86% and transactions are down -7.42%.  Our average residential price is $667,728 YTD.  
There were two New Unit Sales in May – both were in Hayden.  Still hoping for more inventory – both new and resale – to hit the Steamboat market.  Local buyers made up 58% of our sales in May in Routt county.
There were a total of 170 loans in May with 57% of purchasers closing with financing at the time of sale while 43% closed with cash.”

Our Steamboat Springs real estate market is experiencing the same nationwide issues of low inventory (especially with new homes) and buyers trying to close on a property before interest rates increase.  Dollar volume would be higher if there were more places to buy.

Steamboat Single Family Home Sales Thru April

View of Tree Haus in Steamboat Springs

Steamboat Springs area homes have been selling almost as fast as they hit the market.  From January through May of 2018, 46 single family homes sold between $439,900 and $5,150,000 with the bulk of sales falling between $600,000-$1,300,000.  Over 60% of homes sold over $800,000 and 40% sold over $1,000,000.   I keep thinking the backlog of buyers should be reaching an equilibrium with supply, but then another home gets listed and sells within days.  Downtown, Tree Haus, Dakota Ridge, and the general Fish Creek area all have seen multiple sales.

What Type of Steamboat Real Estate is Selling Best?

Barn Village Amenity Building with fitness and a swimming pool.

The short answer to what type of real estate is selling best in Steamboat this summer is:  Everything.  As of today, there are 239 pending properties currently in escrow, and 148 properties went under contract in the last month.  It’s been a very busy real estate year with buyers at all price points, and for all property types.  

Here is a quick snapshot of what is selling this summer:

  • 14% of pending properties are priced at less than $100,000
  • 10% are priced over $1,000,000
  • 57% are priced between $300,000-$900,000
  • 36% are single family homes
  • 15% are vacant land parcels
  • 35% are condos and townhomes

Another interesting observation is there were 19 price reductions today for listings currently on the market.  Some sellers were optimistic with their pricing, and now that we are halfway through the summer, they are getting more motivated to sell. The list-to-sold ratio is still a solid 96% for properties that sold since June.

Steamboat Springs Real Estate 2010-2017

2017 Steamboat Springs real estate dollar volume is eclipsing dollar volume of past years, especially since it was announcemed that Aspen will acquire Steamboat later this year.  As we head into the second half of the year which has traditionally been the busiest time for real estate sales, we will see higher dollar volume or higher prices (both?) due to low inventory.

As a buyer, it’s hard not to get caught up in the emotion when you see the right property.  Trust us to help you navigate the current market with excellent negotiation skills and a calm demeanor by calling 970-819-6372.

Huge News! Aspen is Buying Steamboat

Steamboat Ski Area

The ski season wraps up Sunday, but the buzz in Steamboat this week is as exciting as an 18″ powder dump. Aspen Skiing Co. and KSL Partners announced this week they will buy Steamboat as part of a larger $1.5 billion acquisition.

To add to the buzz, Aspen announced two days later that they will also be buying Mammoth Resorts, which includes Mammoth Mountain, June Mountain, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain.

Once the deal is finalized in Q3 2017, Aspen Skiing Co. and KSL Capital Partners will own or manage the following resorts in North America:

Intrawest
* Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp.
* Winter Park (operation agreement)
* Blue Mountain, Ontario
* Mont Tremblant, Quebec
* Snowshoe, West Virginia
* Stratton Mountain, Vermont
* Canadian Mountain Holidays, British Columbia

Aspen Skiing Co.
* Aspen Mountain
* Aspen Highlands
* Snowmass
* Buttermilk

KSL Capital Partners
* Alpine Meadows, California
* Squaw Valley, California

Mammoth Resorts
* Mammoth Mountain
* June Mountain
* Snow Summit
* Bear Mountain

Aspen Ski Co has been looking for ways to compete with the ever growing Vail Resorts. Steamboat and Winter Park will be the only two Colorado ski areas added to the Aspen brand outside of Pitkin County. After the dust settles, Aspen will have 14 resorts compared to Vail’s 11 resorts.
