As the rest of the country’s housing market stalls, Steamboat Springs, CO, is experiencing unprecedented growth. How can our resort town continue to appreciate while other markets stall? One reason is that Steamboat Springs is now home for more “location neutral” businesses.
Before cell phones, the Internet, faxes and Blackberries, people who lived in Steamboat had to work in Steamboat, but that’s no longer true. Approximately 10% of our workforce–a number that continues to grow–works from Steamboat but does business in another part of the country.
People who have the luxury to live where they want and conduct their business electronically want to live in Steamboat Springs. It is a beautiful town with a real downtown with a true sense of community and endless recreational activities. People can ski, golf, hike, bike, fish, hunt, or relax in the hot tub and enjoy the mountain views.
As the world changes and businesses become more “location neutral”, Steamboat will be a place where families choose to raise their children and people will choose to enjoy all the recreation Steamboat offers.
