Steamboat Springs Real Estate Market Report July 2011
Steamboat Springs Real Estate Market Report July 2011
With summer weather finally warming up the Yampa Valley, real estate buyers seemingly were more intent on having fun on the hiking and biking trails, the golf courses or lounging around poolside than on buying real estate. But don’t let these low numbers for July scare you. Although closing in real estate were down, pending sales jump significantly in July.
One group from Texas is feeling lucky though…and so is the local real estate market since their purchase of just under 3,400 acres of land in the Oak Creek/Yampa area for just over $7.1 million was the shining star in an otherwise slow month. Why might they be feeling lucky?
- Gas Drilling in NW Colorado
Well, for starters, they purchased it sight unseen. I guess technically they did see it from a distance - Google Earth gave them an aerial view from above and that was enough for this group of investors banking on the prospect of the land yielding future gas and oil riches.
July was the second slowest month year-to-date on both Sales Transactions and Sales Dollar Volume. But this just means that May and June didn’t see a lot of action in writing real estate contracts. It’s still summer-time in Steamboat Springs, CO though and with our near perfect sunny warm days and need-your-sweater nights, plenty of visitors have kept August hotels booked and local realtors busy with showings. Timing is everything, and with all the events in August from the Wine Festival and Ride for Yellow to the Pro Cycling Tour heading our way the last week of August, Steamboat Springs is receiving a lot of regional, national and international visibility.
