  Stagecoach single family home sales have been solid in 2011. This year, there have been 18 single family home sales in Stagecoach, with 12 being REO/Bank-Owned properties.  People looking to buy now will find single family home inventory is low (especially in the popular under $350,000 range), and there are NO bank-owned REO properties currently available for sale.   Since the economic downturn, 24 single family homes and 11 townhomes/condos have been foreclosed upon and sold in Stagecoach. There will no doubt be more bank shadow inventory and other foreclosed properties coming on the market although I would be surprised if we see the volume of distressed properties like we saw in 2009-2011.  The good news?  Prices can only increase after the distressed inventory is cleared out, and i...

Stagecoach Colorado is a buyers market, where Buyers are the ones who can take there time and find what property they want for the price they want to pay. A buyers market differs from a sellers market where there is so little real estate available the seller can pretty much name their price–and get it. So where are the buyers? After years of appreciation, Stagecoach is experiencing a slow year. In fact, there are over 200 lots available right now in Stagecoach. That’s about one out of every ten lots for sale. Since May 1, a traditionally active time in Stagecoach, only nine properties have sold. Five lots, three townhomes, and one single family home. Only one other property is currently under contract. (A Morningside lot). What does this mean to buyers and sellers? If you don’t need to...

Oak Creek, Colorado is looking into forming a central heating system by replacing its coal boilers with a biomass boiler/geoexchange heating system. The biomass boiler will burn pellets created from all the dead beetle kill pine trees. If it happens, it sounds like a winning way to significantly lower fuel costs for the small town located about 20 miles south of Steamboat Springs and get rid of all the dead lodgepole pines located all over Colorado. When the beetle epidemic started, Mark Mathis constructed a plant in Kremmling to grind up the trees and form them into pellets for heating homes and businesses.  (There is also a pellet plant in Walden.)  Mr. Mathis claims that Oak Creek can recoup the costs for the central burner in four years, and Oak Creek can see significant savings af...

Stagecoach, Colorado sales are off to a slow start in 2008. Stagecoach, CO is traditionally an area that sees most of its sales from May-October, so it's not surprising that there has been so little activity. Many roads are inaccessible and building lots are covered in snow. Since the beginning of the year, only 18 properties have sold or are pending. Compare that to the 137 properties currently listed, and you can see that Stagecoach is a buyers market. Here's what has sold in Stagecoach, Colorado: Stagecoach Residential--Solds Develop ADDRESS List Price Sold Price Stagecoach Townhomes Schussmark Trail $259,900 $255,000 Stagecoach Townhomes Schussmark Trail $295,000 $290,000 Eagles Nest Townhomes @ Stagecoach Sagebrush Trail $298,500 $300,000 Eagles Nest Townhomes @ Stagecoach Sagebrus...

You can build anywhere in Stagecoach, Colorado, but there are a few things that need to be done before you get a building permit. 1. The roads must be up to grade before you can get a vault permit. Roads must be 16′ wide by 8″ deep and have culverts where applicable (specs are the same as the Oak Creek Fire Dept. specifications). If the road to your lot isn’t up to grade, you can pay for the improvements and possibly see a refund as more people build. 2. Sewer and Water Update–If your lot is not on the public water system, you’ll need a well and sewer vault. Vault fees (including the Vault Impact Fee, Lot Owner Agreements and Well applications) totaled over $13,000 as of March, 2009. Each Stagecoach neighborhood allows a certain number of vaults. The homeowner agrees that if the public...

Stagecoach, Colorado is pretty quite these days. Although there are plenty of building sites for sale, most of them are inaccessable at this time of year because of the snow. The Stagecoach neighborhoods toward the back of the community--Sky Hitch, South Station, High Cross, Overland have limited access until the snow melts and the dirt roads dry. Out of 172 active listings in Stagecoach, 142 are vacant land. The other 30 active listings are all single family homes. The only residential properties to go under contract or sell in Stagecoach since January have been Stagecoach townhomes. Here are the details: One Stagecoach Townhome on Schussmark Trail sold for $290,000 and one is pending with a list price of $259,900. Two Eagles Nest Townhomes have sold for $300,000.
