Real Estate in Steamboat Springs: The Market Report

Again, we’re seeing improvements in the Steamboat Real Estate market. Improvements in transaction numbers but not price. But an encouraging factor in this report is the balancing of price distribution. A few months ago we were seeing substantially more transactions in the $300,000 – $500,000 range and very few transaction in the upper price ranges. But in August, there was more balance with 8 transaction in the $300-$500 range and 5 transactions in the 1 million to 1.5 million range.

Hopefully these numbers will continue and with the extension of the Jumbo loan policy, borrowers should find it a bit easier to tie down loans.

Overall, our real estate market is turning like a mid-sized diesel engine: slow and steady.
