About Me

Name: Steamboat Springs

Location: Steamboat Springs, Colorado, United States

I am very lucky to live here in Steamboat Springs with my family. I came here regularly for 19 years and despite the charms of all the other western mountain resorts it always felt like home. We followed our dream & moved up from Boulder. I am lucky to have an amazing wife, a very cool 6 yr old son Alden and a wonderful 4 yr old girl Neve. They both love to be outdoors skiing, hiking and fishing with us. I am an independent Realtor with Colorado Group, LLC. I have always believed that if I take care of others I don’t have to worry about myself. I work hard to understand your goals, give you information about each option, what is happening around it and the market as a whole so you can make the right decision for you.

June New Home Sales Rise 11% Nationally

More encouraging news that our national market is beginning to recover.

June new home sales rise 11 percent AP

By ALAN ZIBEL, AP Real Estate Writer Alan Zibel, Ap Real Estate Writer – 32 mins ago

WASHINGTON – New U.S. home sales rose by the largest amount in more than eight years last month, in another sign the housing market is finally bouncing back from the worst downturn in decades.

The Commerce Department said Monday that sales rose 11 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 384,000, from an upwardly revised May rate of 346,000.

It was the strongest sales pace since November 2008 and exceeded the forecasts of economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters, who expected a pace of 360,000 units. The last time sales rose so dramatically was in December 2000.

Sales have risen for three straight months. The median sales price of $206,200, however, was down 12 percent from $234,300 a year earlier and down nearly 6 percent from $219,000 in May.

The report is another encouraging sign that the beleaguered housing sector is finally coming back to life. Last Thursday, the National Association of Realtors reported that home resales posted a monthly increase of 3.6 percent in June.

There were 281,000 new homes for sale at the end of June, down more than 4 percent from May. At the current sales pace, that represents 8.8 months of supply — the lowest level since October 2007.

Colorado’s Best Mountain Community for Families: Steamboat Springs

The Mountain Mammas blog posted a piece titled Tour de Colorado’s Best Mountain Community for Families: Steamboat Springs. It's nice to see that she liked Steamboat despite plenty of drama from her kids and a case of the keys left in their running car.

No surprise to anyone who knows Steamboat. What is she doesn't get is that her car wouldn't be anymore likely to be stolen had it been left unlocked while running. We are fortunate to live in a very special place populated & visited by wonderful people.
