Steamboat 700 Invitation

The Steamboat 700 development proposal has been very much in the forefront of our local media for many months now. We are only 5 weeks from the City Council’s final vote on the annexation. I believe that Steamboat 700 provides Steamboat Springs an opportunity to implement our forward-thinking community master plans to avoid the “down valley” syndrome where locals are forced out of town into outlying areas by high housing prices, resulting in long commutes on crowded highways and many other problems.


I would like to invite you to learn more about Steamboat 700 by inviting you to meet the owners of the development group and join them for lunch or breakfast this coming week. If you would like to attend please call or email Katie Kolbe at 870-0244; kkolbe@steamboat700.com. Let her know which of the following would work for you. Also, to get up to speed on the project, please visit the Steamboat 700 website at www.steamboat700.com



Wednesday, September 9 breakfast from 8-9 at Steamboat 700 office

Wednesday, September 9 lunch from 12-1:30 at Steamboat 700 office

Thursday, September 10 breakfast from 7:30-9 at Egg & I

Friday, September 11 breakfast from 8-9 at Steamboat 700 office



The Steamboat 700 office is located in the Chieftain Building at 345 Lincoln Ave., Suite 206. The entrance is off 4th Street, then go upstairs and down the hallway – the office is on the left.


Please feel free to call me at 871-9111 ext. 11 with any questions or comments.

Great Buys for Buyers in Steamboat Springs, Colorado!

It has been a fast selling summer here in Steamboat Springs. Some of the observations made are that first time homebuyers are scoring great buys on condos, townhomes, and single family residence. A first time homebuyer is anyone who has not owned property in the last three years. These folks are going to be credited $8,000.00 if they close on their homes before December 1st, 2009. Keep watching and lets see if the government extends this successful program. It’s like Cash for Clunkers for homebuyers. If you are or know someone paying rent in Steamboat call me and I can give you the name of a few great local lenders who can talk with you and determine if you should consider home ownership right now rather then throwing money into someone else’s mortgage.

In July my company Prudential Steamboat Realty had more showings of our listings then in any other month since we have documented showings. This plays well for the sellers out there. We are seeing more showings are required to get a buyer to write a contract and negotiation time seems to have increased, but none the less properties are selling and buyers are writing contracts. Last month is August we had over 70 floor calls A floor call is when someone calls our office inquiring about a property they saw. Although it is a buyer’s market because of the amount of inventory, sellers are receiving contracts on their homes. Keep watching you never know when we have hit bottom and we rise again. One thing we are certain of is that the market will come back one day and wouldn’t it be great for you to say I got in at the bottom? Four years ago you couldn't get a two bedroom condo anywhere near $200,000. I now represent a Fish Creek Falls two bedroom condo for $179,000.00; a Sierra View for $185,000; and a North Star complete remodel located on the mountain for only $225,000.00. There are a lot of opportunities for every level of buyer. It a great time to get into Steamboat! Call me for more information...
