Mountain Area

In the region surrounding the Steamboat Resort, accommodations run the gamut from fractional ownership studios to epic ski-in/ski-out estates Choices range from condominiums with a full slate of first-class amenities to neighborhoods of single-family homes on larger lots. Many, but not all properties in this area allow short term rentals without restriction. The area is served by the free city bus for transportation to the Ski Area and west of downtown.

Similar to the Downtown/Fish Creek region, the total number of single family homes sold in the mountain area was at a ten-year low, while total dollar volume sold was the third highest on record. Mountain condos and townhomes saw a small increase of 6% for total units sold, but the total dollar volume increased an astounding 38% (or almost $100M) year over year.

 

For years, pricing in the Mountain area has lagged behind Downtown/Fish Creek. In 2024, price per square foot for single family homes at the Mountain surpassed that of Downtown, which likely reflects sales in the newer construction neighborhoods of Barn Village, Wildhorse Meadows, and the in-demand nightly rental homes around the Ski Area.
