2022 YEAR IN REVIEW

While supply and demand and interest-rate fluctuation might

Although we may be returning to a new normal as we battle low

suggest falling real estate prices, we simply did not see that

inventory, across nearly all property types in all micro-markets,

in the Steamboat Springs real estate market in 2022. We saw

the median sales price for 2022 increased over that of 2021.

somewhat significant decreases in the number of sales, with the overall number of transactions in our MLS down 28% over 2021 and the number of new listings down 19%, yet we still surpassed the $1-billion mark in sales volume, the secondhighest on record. For the most part, property prices across all segments remained steady last year.

Particularly in the second half of last year, our market really started to shift. The absorption rate in the first half of 2022 was at an all-time high at 122%, but in the last two quarters of the year, it dropped to 65%. Median days on market in each segment remained quite low, particularly in the city of Steamboat Springs, with residential property moving in about 10 days.

The macro-market conditions and trends noted above area a high-level view, including all different types of properties throughout Routt County. The micro-market reports on the pages that follow are designed to break down the trends and statistics in smaller areas, by property type. This helps give you greater insight into the market conditions in specific segments that are relevant to you.

63% The median sale price for townhomes increased to nearly $1.5M

These areas tend to have the highest property values, driven by low inventory for buyers and incredible demand. While single family homes have the highest median sale price of $1.71M, closely followed by townhomes at $1.44M, condos are not only moving the fastest – on the market for a short 7 days – but also have the highest median price per sf at $737/sf. Condos and townhomes have been selling at 100% of the list price, meaning most of these properties are closing for over the asking price.

ELK RIVER & NORTH ROUTT The Elk River area is located northwest of downtown and follows the Elk River to the town of Clark.

The area known as North Routt continues north past Pearl Lake, Steamboat Lake, and Hahn’s Peak to Columbine. Prices this year in the Elk River and North Routt areas didn’t see a huge increase yearover-year for single family homes, just 19%. However, with lack of inventory in the county, land sales are moving much faster in this area now, only on the market about 34 days, down 78% from last year.

HAYDEN Hayden lies approximately 25 miles west of Steamboat Springs along Hwy 40. This wonderful small-town environment offers older homes, smaller acreage parcels, and some subdivisions with newer homes.

Hayden has historically offered lower price points than Steamboat, however, has undergone a “boom” with many newcomers to this quaint community, driving an increase in both demand and prices. Selling in less than 10 days, single family homes are nearly $500k and, on average, are selling for the full asking price.
