Dave Hartley, a broker/owner at Colorado Group Realty reports he spent a part of July 23 showing a high-net-worth individual Routt County ranch properties of 150 acres or more. He said his client already owns a ranch in Texas and seeks a Steamboat ranch to enjoy, but also as a place to park cash and hold as an investment.
In general Harley said, showings have picked up dramatically in the last two weeks. He helped a first-time home buyer make a purchase and take advantage of federal tax rebates.
Hartley said he has also helped Front Range buyers acquire Steamboat Grand intervals. A trend within that trend, he said, is existing Steamboat Grand owners upgrading to intervals in larger units.
