We are in full transition from summer into fall, my favorite time of year in Steamboat Springs. Although we experienced an incredible summer of weather there is something very special about September and October.  Life seems to move at a slower pace and people seem more relaxed. We wake to brisk morning walks and soon the valley will begin to change to a rainbow of various colors. Still days in the sixties and seventies can be expected well into October and sometimes into November. This doesn’t’ mean that we won’t experience a snow fall or two just to let us know that winter is on its way. Its Mother Nature’s way of telling us to get the snow tires ready and the skis’ waxed. Soon the long john’s will appear and a hat and gloves will be required for our morning stroll.

 

Fall brings the end to the baseball season and the start of football as well as the hunting season. Local schools are in full swing and the sidewalks of downtown Steamboat seem inviting if not full of anxious shoppers.  

 From a Real Estate standpoint we are also transitioning from our historically high season which ends with September to our 4^th quarter. It is a great time of year to see properties as the condos and townhomes are not filled and easier to access. Deals can be had at most lodging properties and nary a reservation is required at your favorite local restaurant. Opportunities may exist on some properties as Sellers are anxious to sell prior to the onset of winter. Come experience this wonderful time of year in the Yampa Valley. You won’t be disappointed.
