May Market Insights 2023

By Ben Berend Blog, Steamboat Springs Real Estate Market May 25, 2023

May has brought our seasonal uptick in inventory. This will kick off what tends to be the busiest season for real estate in Steamboat over the next few months. Properties are staying on the market for an average of 20 days, an increase of 13 days compared to a year ago. While we would still label this a seller’s market with low inventory and high demand, the increase in days on the market has created more opportunities for buyers.

About the Author

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.
