December Market Insights

By Blog, Steamboat Springs Real Estate Market December 9, 2022
December 2022

Listings are now staying on the market 28% longer compared to 2021. This makes it even more important for new listings to be priced and marketed effectively. While the time on the market has increased, the median sales price is still up 24% from 2021. This is due to relatively low inventory, paired with still strong buyer demand. Many properties are closing for less than the list price in non-competitive buyer situations, which makes early negotiations crucial. I’d label this a seller’s market with newfound buyer advantages – if higher interest rates can be endured!

About the Author
The Boyd & Berend Group
Ben Berend, ASSOCIATE BROKER | TEAM LEAD

Born and raised in Steamboat Springs, Ben spent his childhood at Howelsen Hill dreaming of someday competing in the Winter Olympics. He realized that dream by representing the United States in the 2018 Winter Olympics, becoming one of 100 Olympians from Steamboat Springs dating back to 1932. 

Ben believes in learning from the best, which is why he returned to Steamboat Springs and joined forces with Cam Boyd – former co-owner of Steamboat Sotheby’s and one of the highest producing agents in the country. Together, Cam and Ben created the Boyd & Berend Group, a team focused on the luxury real estate market in Steamboat Springs. Last year, the Boyd & Berend Group worked with buyers and sellers on 47 transactions totaling over $72m – solidifying them as a market share leader within the Yampa Valley. 

Ben’s approach to the business centers around strong communication, building lasting relationships, and bringing a persistant energy to each transaction – which he attributes to his prior career as a professional athlete. 

Ben was elected to the Parks and Recreation Commission in 2021, where he continues to serve. He also volunteers as a ski coach at the Winter Sports Club and leads Olympic Heritage Tours for the local Tread of Pioneers Museum. Outside of work, Ben is known for his grand adventures on bikes and skis.
