Steamboat Springs City Council: Zoning Changes and URA

Steamboat Springs City Council Updates:
1. Last week City Council approved a zoning change to a Steamboat Springs Highlands to allow a 1.4-acre parcel’s zoning from to G-1, the city’s second-highest-density resort area designation. Formerly the project lay in a RE-1, a low-density residential designation that allows only one unit per lot. Fighting this decision was the condominium representative of Bronze Tree.
When complete Steamboat Springs Highlands will be a 328,610-square-foot project 108 feet tall. Once the zoning change is adopted by an ordinance from City Council it the project may begin.

2. Projects in the city’s urban renewal authority at the base of Steamboat Ski Area will continue to allow Wenk Associates and general contractors Duckel’s Construction to work on projects this summer, but next year the projects will be available to bid on.

Sold - In Steamboat Springs

The entry-level end of the Routt County housing market saw the most activity in April.

Statistics compiled by Bruce Carta, of Land Title Guarantee Co., show there were three transactions in the sub-$200,000 segment.

Of the 23 transactions, another five were priced between $200,000 and $300,000, and five more sold for between $300,000 and $500,000.

Predictably, the half-dozen sales greater than $1 million accounted for the majority of total dollar volume of $16 million.

Three houses between $1 million and $1.5 million accounted for $3.46 million, and two in the slot between $1.5 million and $2 million combined for another $3.4 million. A single sale was recorded for $2.3 million.

The aggregate million-dollar-plus sales represented 57 percent of total housing dollar volume.

Stagecoach home listed at less than $250,000
A Stagecoach home listed by Dennis O’Connor, of Lincoln Avenue Realty, represents one of the lowest priced homes of its kind on the market.

The 1,820-square-foot home is listed at $249,900. The four-year-old home has three bedrooms and four baths but still needs some finish work.

O’Connor reports the property is approved for HomePath Renovation Mortgage Financing through Fannie Mae. Benefits include a low down payment and flexible mortgage terms.
