Major Hurdles:

Didn’t get urban growth boundary enlarged to include 185 acres, so Steamboat 700 has been pared to 515 acres.

How Far Along is the Project

Early stages. Still working on Urban Growth Boundary extension.

Pre-annexation approved; will submit petition and annexation application by Oct. 31, 2008

Steamboat residents either love or hate Steamboat 700 515. Steamboat 700 515 is the new development west of town that promises up to 2000 homes full time residents can actually afford to live in.

Steamboat 700 now has only 515 acres that can be developed into a planned community with small lots, if they get annexation approval. The other 185 acres that made up the 700 acres in Steamboat 700 was outside the Urban Growth Boundary.

Both the Steamboat City Council and the Routt County Commissioners needed to approve the UGB change before the other 185 acres could be considered for annexation into Steamboat. Although City Council approved the expansion, the County Commissioners denied the request. As it stands, those 185 acres can only be developed into five 35 acre parcels for now.

Besides Steamboat 700 515, there is another development, Steamboat 360, about a mile further down the road that is in the planning phase.

Both of these developments need approval by the City of Steamboat Springs and the Routt County Commissioners to go forward. Steamboat 700 is farther along in the process and close to annexation.

Edgemont—Digging Started at this Ski-In, Ski-out Property


Edgemont, Steamboat Ski in Ski out real estateEdgemont is one of the newest ski-in, ski-out properties in Steamboat Springs. The Selection Event where people picked which unit to buy happened way back in May. Since then, a lovely Steamboat summer has come and gone with only the one photo-op golden shovel of dirt being moved.

I was up there yesterday and there are construction vehicles at work.

Finally.

My buddy Dennis Rush, the Edgemont specialist my buyers and I work with, tells me they are currently installing the water and sewer. The building will go up slower than Trailhead Lodge in Wildhorse Meadows because the building will be concrete vs. the frame construction of Trailhead.

Edgemont sold about $45,000,000 worth of Steamboat real estate at their Selection Event in May, and units have been selling at about 1-2 a month all summer. Once the ski season starts and visitors increase, there will be fewer units to choose from as they sell out.

If you are interested in purchasing brand-new Steamboat ski-in, ski-out real estate, buy it now. Prices will continue to increase (Barn Village raised their land prices this week) as the project gets further along.

Call Eliese at (970) 819-6372 or email me for a registration packet. I’ll get you the remaining inventory and current price list so you can make your decision about which unit is best for you and your family or friends.

Steamboat Springs Real Estate "Micro" Markets

Routt County real estate is local. It’s so local that you need to look at Micro Markets to see what is going on. A Routt County micro market can be a type of real estate (condos) an area (Stagecoach) or even a neighborhood (Dakota Ridge). Here are some examples of how real estate is divided into micro markets:

  • There is a 3 1/2 month supply of Steamboat real estate over $1,000,000
  • There is a 10 year supply of Stagecoach lots
  • There is a 2 month supply of Steamboat condos under $400,000
  • Hayden had 19 sales/pending contracts since May 1st and Stagecoach has had only 5 sales/pending contracts–Even though both areas have similar populations.
  • There are only 19 ski-in, ski-out places that range in price from a dinky one bedroom $335,000 Ski-Inn condo to a $5,575,000 luxury townhome at the base of Thunderhead lift. Only 5 are Steamboat luxury ski-in, ski-out units.
  • First time buyers can get a $7500 incentive from the government
  • Real Estate in Specific Routt county neighborhoods

What does that mean to a buyer thinking about purchasing Steamboat real estate?

  • Steamboat is a Buyers Market. As a buyer, you have options.
  • If you are going to finance, get your financing and lock in the rate. If you pay cash, you’ have negotiating power.
  • Many homes are priced correctly. Learn the value and don’t assume you can lowball every property. Get a Realtor you can trust to do the research.
