March Market Insights 2024

march

The Steamboat market is moving towards a spring/summer inventory increase that occurs yearly. February saw 40 new listings compared to 68 new listing in March. We expect the number of new listings to continue on this upward trend through June. Two Boyd & Berend Group listings went pending in March within 24 hours of the first showing. This is an example of the advantage for buyers who get in the door on day one with pre-approval ready from a lender. This also shows how important initial marketing becomes. When done right, marketing has the potential to draw the right buyers through the door on day one.

About the Author
The Boyd & Berend Group

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.
