Steamboat Springs definately offers a level of diversity seldom found in communities of  smiliar size. As we approach the end of June, people arriving to celebrate July 4th, range from billionaires to Rainbow people. If you are unaware of the Rainbow People check out recent issues of the Steamboat Pilot and Today Newspaper as well as USA Today and The Denver Post. It appears The Rainbow People gather every year in a national forest of their choice and celebrate life. In their own way. What ever that is.

The Rainbow People probably won’t be settling in our idealic community. The local real estate market is hot, compared to those in other parts of the country. Low inventory and high demand have created a market of escalating prices and increasing volume of sales.

The least expensive condo currently available in Steamboat is a 415 square foot Storm Watch studio priced at $135,00. Property prices increase from there to multi-million dollar lots and homes. 

However, when you compare Steamboat to Aspen, Vail and other ski resort communities, these prices are a bargain. Particularly when you consider the quality of life, suroundings and tranquility Steamboat offers. 

New projects are selling out quickly with additional developments on the horizon. If you’re looking for a lifestyle of beautiful surroundings, tranquility, numerous activities, no crime (see the Poice Blotter in the Steamboat Pilot and Today-it’s quite entertaining) and low temperatures/humidity come check out Steamboat. It’s the best.
