Eliese Pivarnik, Colorado Group Realty, RSPS, CDPE Steamboat Real Estate

Before Intrawest purchased Steamboat, the mountain village at the base of the Steamboat ski area was out dated. It was like walking into a ski condo built in the 1980s that was never remodeled–think orange shag, dark brown trim, avocado green appliances. The only people looking to buy those types of condos were the ones that had vision. They knew with a little work, the places could look great.

Well, that’s what the Steamboat base area was–a ski area sorely in need of a remodel.

Steamboat Springs, Colorado is beginning a multi-year, multi million dollar make-over that will transform our base area within 5-7 years. Those with a vision know that buying real estate now, while the construction vehicles are all over the place and the buyers are waiting to see if the negative press is right, is a smart thing to do.

Here is a map and a time line of the redevelopment plans at the base of the Steamboat Ski Mountain. (Click to enlarge it.) This map was made during 2007 at the height of the real estate boom, so don’t be surprised if a few of the dates for starting or completing a real estate project are changed.

Edgemont, the newest ski-in, ski-out Steamboat Springs real estate development, is having its selection event May 30, and it’s not too late to get involved.

Anyone who purchases an Edgemont unit on May 30 will get the Absolute Best Pricing and save 5% of the purchase price over Buyers who purchase on May 31^st.

Buyers will also get one year free HOA dues.

There are only 42 Edgemont units available and plenty of interested buyers, because no other brand-new ski-in, ski-out developments in Steamboat Springs will be available before 2010. (Only 2 units at One Steamboat Place are left. All the other One Steamboat Place residences are sold.)

If you are interested, call today at (970) 819-6372 or email Eliese. Several things need done ASAP to purchase a place at Edgemont, but it’s worth it to save $100,000+.
