Steamboat Springs Real Estate Market Report for March 2012

The March numbers came out for the real estate market report this week. Keep in mind these are Steamboat Springs real estate transactions that closed in March, 2012. This means these properties went under contract roughly 30-60 days prior, or in January and February. I monitor the pending sales each months and back in January there were only 77 pending properties. Today there are 143. What this means is that we are just starting to see all these pending sale begin to close. In other words, the future looks a lot brighter than these March numbers. Here’s the trends for pending sales the last 5 months:

Dec. = 71

Jan. = 77

Feb. = 102

March = 132

April = 143

MARCH 2012 ROUTT REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT.   We had 99 transaction in March for a total of $38M in sales.  Volume is up over last year, while the number of transactions are still off – culminating in quite a bit of green, which is starting to translate into the signs of pricing stability, even given the 21 bank sales that were recorded in March.  Overall, March was a solid month in terms of continuing signs of stability.
