Having been involved in the real estate market and construction market in Steamboat Springs since 1991 I am often asked about our current market in the valley.  In the last 2 months I would compare our market to the Dow Jones stock market when it dropped to 6600.  We should have all bought stock at 6600 and would have had a nice portfolio at the current value of over 11,000.  It is my opinion that we are currently bouncing at the bottom of the market and like the stock market at 6600 we have no where to go but up.  I agree with the Sotheby’s corporate position that we should see appreciation of 5% a year for the next 3 to 4 years from current appraised values.  It is my belief that Steamboat will fare well compared to other resort towns in that our values are lower than many of the other ski areas and Steamboat is a beautiful place to live with a real working community.

The other component of our market often asked is this a good time to build in Steamboat.  The past 18 months has been very slow in the single family construction sector of our economy.  Subcontractors will work for far less than their bids from 2 to 4 years ago.  They basically will work for wages and little profit margins.  I estimate that individuals can build for up to 30% off of prices from 2007.  Couple that with much lower costs of building sites and it is evident that it is an excellent time to build in Steamboat.  The economic cycle with run it course and the cost to build will rise accordingly.  During any economic recession individuals will have opportunities and timing in our market could be excellent to create opportunities.

Rushing Water Lane

It is rare that such a rural mountain town can boast the works of a renowned international interior designer.  Yet hidden amongst 1063 acres of Storm Mountain Ranch and nestled against the granite walls of Walton Creek lies the estate of Rushing Water Lane.   Mastered by the hand of Luis Ortega, a native of Havana Cuba, Rushing Water hosts the marriage of contemporary lines and mountain designs seamlessly blended into the natural Rocky Mountain landscape all within a 10,000 square foot display of art.  Preluded by live-water ponds and the rush of Walton Creek, the land was the perfect site for the work of art that Mr. Ortega envisioned.  The designer himself describes his creations as uncluttered, colorful, with clean lines exhibiting the purity of all design elements.   These lines are clearly visible from the moment of entrance,  beginning with the Brazilian Slate flooring in the chefs kitchen to the floor-to-ceiling windows that illuminate the great room with early morning sun. Nearly every luxury appointment imaginable has been carefully placed throughout the home, including perfectly built rock fireplaces, Carrera marble in the bathrooms, outdoor and indoor steam showers, private hot-tub and outdoor infinity pool.  Furnishings in moderate mountain colors effortlessly become inviting under the spell of the homes surrounding beauty in every season and the beholder naturally becomes part of the scenery through the integrity of elements both within the home and just steps outside.  Much talked-about but selectively seen, the Rushing Water Lane is only part of the impressive portfolio of Luis Ortega’s three dimensional art, displayed in places like Scottsdale, Montana, Palm Springs and Beverly Hills California.
