Now prices have dropped 5-15% in most areas of the country. Some more than others, it really has to be looked at on a local basis. So what does the housing crunch mean for the mountains of Colorado? Well our economics are different here. Our real estate market is driven by the baby boomer generation who is vacationing more than ever, buying second homes more than ever and planning for retirement and wants to do it in places like this. Consequently we have seen tremendous appreciation the last two years while the rest of the country has been in the doldrums. Is it sustainable? We shall see and I will discuss that further in the next installment.

Steamboat is taking off! Intrawest purchased the ski area about a year ago and is pumping $16 million in to the mountain. The attention has brought a flood of other developers hoping to cash in. In all over $600 million in private developments are planned for the next five years. Overall 4,000 new beds will be added to the rental pool as well as, among others, a 700-acre development west of town will have 2,000 new residential units. All this in a remote town six hours from an International Airport, serviced mainly by a small regional airport and barely attracting a million skiers a year.

So this must be the time to jump in and get those great preconstruction deals, right? Wrong. Intrawest has a track record of building too much too fast, creating frenzy and then leaving investors holding the bag. I first witnessed it with Keystone where people in the late ‘90’s lined up to buy pre-construction like it was a .com IPO. Prices dropped, and it took until last year, nearly ten years later, for prices to pass their pre-construction level. The same thing happened in Copper Mountain and I read it has been even worse in Mammoth Mountain, CA. Steamboat, in my opinion, is a decade away or more from being able to support this kind of growth. On the other hand, Summit County is easily accessible to millions of Coloradans and the rest of the world via DIA. We are nearly at build out meaning that a property you purchase today will not be overwhelmed by massive quantities of new construction. Your property will continue to grow in demand for buyers and renters, not caught in a glut of over supply. Call me now and I will be happy to show you all the reasons Summit County is the most solid resort real estate purchase in the world.

 The next phase of The Peaks at Breckenridge should be out about the end of this year or early '08.

This is becoming THE place to retire for those who want to stay active in their best years. See www.RetireRockyMountainStyle.com for information on social life and amenities available to you

EXCERPT; LEARN THE MARKET
From page 110 of the MREI book: “Almost anything worth doing has a process. What the Millionaire Real Estate Investors revealed to us was that their thinking followed a process that in the end instructed their actions. The truth we discovered was that you have to know values in order to recognize opportunities and have to find opportunities before you can do deals. That makes sense because you don’t just go out and do deals. You can’t really make a deal until you’ve found an opportunity and you can’t really know if it’s an opportunity until you understand value… How do investors identify value? That’s easy; they look at real estate. They look at a lot of real estate. They look very carefully at a lot of real estate. I wish I could tell you there was a short cut, but there‘s not, and I caution you against trying to create one.”

What better start to looking at a lot of real estate than to do it with me? I have been actively working this market over fourteen years. I have seen several cycles and understand local values and emerging markets. I look at real estate in both lights; is it a nice place to live and vacation, is it going to be a good investment? My fix and flip tours are a great way to get started learning values in an educational setting with other investors and no pressure to buy. Check the event schedule for the next tour.
