In its Ridge Report, Christy Sports listed Steamboat Springs as one of the Top 4 places to buy a ski condo in Colorado, saying “Buying a vacation condo in Steamboat Springs isn’t necessarily inexpensive, but won’t cost buyers millions, as compared to other opulent ski towns in Colorado.”
Keep in mind that the average list price cited in that article includes single-family homes and full ownership; condos and partial (or fractional) ownership can make buying in Steamboat even more budget-friendly.
If you are considering buying a ski condo, consider these points:
How often will you use it? If you want to use it for just winter sports, a condo that can be rented out for the rest of the year is a good option. So is fractional ownership that will buy you a certain number of weeks each year. However, if you can see yourself using it for full seasons or throughout the year, buying outright might make more sense.
What do you want in a vacation home? If you are looking for a secluded getaway and mountain lifestyle, consider buying away from the resort in a quieter location. If you are after a strong investment and rental appeal, slopeside is likely your best bet.
What is your budget? Buying a condo comes with some additional costs and considerations, including maintenance fees. Be sure to factor in those costs when working on your vacation home budget.
