Make $75,000 on Your Vacation Home in Steamboat

Wouldn’t it be nice to make $75,000 on your vacation home here in Steamboat Springs, Ski Town USA?  I’ve written a lot on 2660 Alpenglow Way and there’s a reason for that! It is a hidden gem that is in its own little world:

  • -It’s a town home but feels and acts like a single family home.
  • -It comes with high-end luxury furnishing…….but it’s just not over the top.
  • -It has a 900 lb. dining room table that seats 16 but it’s not ostentatious-hard to believe.
  • -It’s comfortable, welcoming and family friendly and….it has a great rental history.
  • -Alepenglow Way home is situated on the mountain so the views look over the rooftops down the valley. You feel like you are out of town but you are “on The Mountain”.
  • -Because if its location, you have privacy but you are a block away from a free bus stop.

Ski Home in Steamboat Springs – Just Steps From the Chairlift!

Ski Home in Steamboat Springs - Just Steps From the Chairlift

Location is everything in real estate; you can change the color of paint in a house but you can’t change the location of a chairlift. This Ski Home on Ski Trail Lane in Steamboat Springs is just steps away from the Christie chairlift.

From the beginning of the day to the end of the day, 2455 Ski Trail Lane provides the ultimate ease for people who love to play on a ski area. With just a one minute, 32 second walk to the chairlift, life couldn’t get any better.
Start your play-day by heading into the heated room attached to the 2 car garage to put on your boots. Then pull your gear from the secure ski storage area and stroll on over to the Christie chairlift.  One minute, 32 seconds is pretty handy. If you’re over 6’, maybe it will take you 1 minute 16 seconds? Again, location is everything.

Steamboat Ski Home with Functional Luxury

“Omigosh, Alpenglow Way is great!”  That’s the response I just get when people tour this home.


2660 Alpenglow Way is truly a home; it’s not just a vacation home.  The designer of Alpenglow had functionality and beauty in mind. I like homes that you can live in with a gaggle of people. Alpenglow Way has 5,277 square feet  and  5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms.  But the special part, that I think a lot of people can appreciate, is all the functional bonus rooms.

Besides all these the luxurious basics, this home features  a game room, a reading room, and a “Wii  Room”.

Mortgage Interest Deduction and the Fiscal Cliff

Friday, December 14th, 2012

Mortgage Interest Deduction and the Fiscal Cliff

Owning real estate like a home is the American Dream. The comforts and personal satisfaction in owning a home is priceless. The financial rewards of owning real estate can also be the another motivator for buying a home. For years, the mortgage interest deduction on your tax return gives home owners positive rewards even if their home did not appreciate. So with the mortgage interest deductions, home owners still see financial rewards. But now, the mortgage interest deductions are being talked about when “the fiscal cliff” solutions are being discussed.

Now to the real estate industry, the mortgage interest deductions are a huge component of buying a home. Especially after these last 5 years where the vast majority of home owners saw their home devalued immensely. It’s the mortgage interest deductions that gave home owners reasons for hope. At least those that owned real estate were able to deduct the interest paid on their mortgages to make the depreciation a little easier to live with.

Over the last 3 months, the average 2-3 bedroom condo for sale at the Steamboat ski area was $356 per square foot.  That makes the Trailhead Lodge Auction average price of $331 per square foot look like a great deal.  Well, not only does it look like a great deal, but it actually is a great deal.

The remaining Wildhorse Meadows and Trailhead Lodge condos will go up for auction next month in Steamboat.  A second and hopefully last auction for the remaining Luxury Condos at Trailhead Lodge in Wild Horse Meadows will take place December 15, 2012.  It will be held in Steamboat Springs.  The last auction, which was held back in May, was well received and now they are looking to sell the remaining units in the auction currently scheduled for next month.

A Lender’s Perspective on Buying Foreclosures and Short-Sales

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012

As a realtor, I rely on lenders a lot. One that I use is Steamboat is Kathryn Pedersen. And here’s some sage advice about buying foreclosures and short-sale from Kathryn.

“I am amazed everyday with the deals that buyers are getting on real estate in the Steamboat Springs market. The rates are at or below historic lows again, so not only are the prices right, but the resulting payments are also budget friendly. Today’s hot commodities are bank owned or short sale properties. Buying one of these properties presents a different set of challenges; here are a few tips and observations from my experience with lending on Steamboat foreclosures and short-sales.
