A LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR
A
s my real estate brokerage business in Telluride grows, I learn a great deal about the regional marketplace and the people who participate in it. Getting to know my clients has been my most valuable pursuit.
The people who own property in Telluride hail from many states and countries. They have a wide variety of backgrounds, professions, interests and pursuits. But the one thing they have in common is great love for Telluride. I know many people who own property in many different resorts, but none are as passionate about their getaway destination as those who come to Telluride.
So in response to the desire of my clients to be kept up-to-date on the real estate market in the Telluride region, I have developed The Telluride Market Update. Most of my professional career has been in business development and negotiating transactions. My background, however, is financial analysis and market analytics. By leveraging my business education and work experience, this report attempts to provide the reader with detailed market representations.
Another thing many people who own property in Telluride have in common is that they do not live in Telluride. Often they do not even live in the state of Colorado. Although most of these second homeowners spend as much time as they can in Telluride, they frequently feel detached from what is happening while they are away. They are hungry to catch up on the latest news and gossip. This desire to be updated especially is true for information concerning the Telluride regional real estate market.
I hope you find this report insightful for understanding what is happening in the Telluride region from a real estate perspective. Please let me know if you have any suggestions of what would be helpful to you for future editions. Warm regards,
Telluride is a resort market and as such the properties can be quite valuable. People who own second homes and part-time residents often have millions of dollars invested in real estate assets in the Telluride region but struggle to get a clear understanding of what is happening in this remote market.

UNDERSTANDING PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT
T
his report includes analysis on Price Per Square Foot. The metric is a useful tool to identify trends in the overall markets and in particular market segments when large numbers of transactions are considered together over a period of time. Price Per Square Foot is also a useful metric when comparing two properties on a true apples-to-apples basis.

No Ski Access
The above graph is a good example of how Price Per Square Foot can be used to understand general trends in a market segment. The graph compares the price per square foot of homes purchased in Mountain Village with Ski-In/Ski-Out access versus homes with No Ski Access. The graph clearly shows that in every year over a nine-year period buyers were willing to pay more for homes with good ski access than homes with no ski access. Given the time span and the consistency of the data, it would be reasonable to conclude from the graph that homes with good ski access generally command higher values on a price per square foot basis than homes with no ski access.
calculated using a population of transactions, which include a wide variety of properties of different age, finish and other attributes. Individual properties may have a combination of these attributes which may make them significantly more valuable or less valuable than average. Price Per Square Foot also can be a powerful tool when there is a true apples-to-apples comparison between two properties. In a resort market, however, such comparisons are hard to come by. For example, two Mountain Village homes located on adjacent lots may have been built in the same year and be approximately the same size but not be comparable on a price per square foot basis. One home may have excellent ski access, beautiful views, high-end finishes and an appealing configuration while the other home has none of these attributes. In this case, one sale would not be comparable to the other. A newly built condominium project with two identical units in terms of views, decks, finish and location may be the best opportunity to use Price Per Square Foot in Telluride.
Unfortunately, Price Per Square Foot often is used inappropriately or is used to draw conclusions when the metric alone is not sufficient. For example, buyers, sellers and even real estate brokers sometimes will argue that a particular property should sell at a particular price based on the average price per square foot for the relevant market segment. Individual property valuations are not determined by market segment averages, especially in segments with relatively few transactions, as is often the case in many of the Telluride market segments. Price Per Square Foot averages are
Expert knowledge of the individual subject properties and the market is essential to use Price Per Square Foot appropriately. 6

MARKET LIQUIDITY
L
iquidity is a measure of how quickly an asset can be sold for a market-determined price. The most liquid markets are those with the most price transparency and the most fungible assets. A good example of a liquid market is the New York Stock Exchange, where on any day one can buy or sell shares of stock quickly and easily for market-determined prices. Art often is considered to be among the most illiquid assets because it can be difficult to find a buyer for a piece of art and, in most cases, difficult to determine value. In an illiquid market, such as the art market, extended periods of time often are required to sell an asset. Most real estate properties are relatively illiquid assets because properties are not quickly sold for marketdetermined prices. The most liquid real estate markets are found in large urban areas where there are many buyers and sellers transacting in a marketplace. In such liquid markets there is a great deal of price transparency, which affords quicker transactions. By contrast, resort markets tend to be far less liquid than large urban areas. This is true of Telluride. A good measure of the liquidity in a particular real estate market is Days on Market (DOM). This metric measures the average number of days that were required for a property to sell in a marketplace. In liquid markets, fewer days are needed to sell a property than in illiquid markets.

The bar graph above shows the average number of DOM of the four market segments that are generally the most liquid in the Telluride region — Telluride homes, Telluride condos, Mountain Village homes and Mountain Village condos. Over time, the Telluride condo segment has proven to have the lowest DOM and thus to be the most liquid segment in the Telluride region. In fact, the graph reveals that DOM for the Telluride condo segment has been relatively stable over the last nine years. The same is not true of the other

three segments. For example, the Mountain Village home segment consistently required fewer than 400 days prior to the downturn for the sale, but that number has now doubled to become the most illiquid of the primary segments. It also is notable that, despite most market segments bottoming in 2009 and beginning their recovery in 2010, the average DOM required to sell a property has grown longer through the recovery in all primary segments with the exception of the Telluride condo segment. 7

WHEN PROPERTIES GO UNDER CONTRACT
I
n most markets the peak contracting periods for residential properties are in the spring and summer. This peak period is driven by the desire of families to be moved into their new home prior to the start of the new school year. The driver for the contracting periods of Telluride differs significantly from other markets. Purchases of real estate occur during and just after peak visitor periods. The two peak visitor periods in Telluride are from Christmas week through the third week in March and then from the first week in July until the third week in August. Most buyers tour properties during one or more of their visits to Telluride and make offers during their visit or soon after their return home. Date When Proper-es Contract 0

TELLURIDE AND MOUNTAIN VILLAGE
T
he towns of Telluride and Mountain Village have remarkably different histories but their recent economic stories are closely intertwined. The mining town of Telluride was founded in 1888 while the Alps inspired Mountain Village was incorporated in 1995. Despite the difference in age, neither area had significant real estate value forty years ago.
The assessed valuation of the entire Town of Telluride was only $599,000 in 1971 (1). At that point, there was little, if any, real estate development in the area that is now called Mountain Village. Development of the Telluride Ski Resort in 1972 dramatically changed the real estate values of Telluride and the area that is now Mountain Village. By 1976, the valuation of Telluride had grown nearly ten fold to $5.797 million (1). The opening of the ski resort was also a boon to the acreage southwest of Telluride in what is now Mountain Village. Approximately 600 single-family home lots were entitled and sold in the new resort. Additionally, a large commercial plaza at the base of the ski mountain was developed. Today the two communities are worth more than $1 billion. $350,000,000

Illustrating the enormous growth of area real estate values, in 2007 the overall real estate sales for Telluride had risen to almost $150 million while Mountain Village soared to approximately $300 million. The Great Recession fiercely impacted both municipalities with approximately a two-
thirds-reduction in overall sales in both markets. Although property values pulled back in most segments, a reduction in the number of transactions was the larger determinate in the overall reduction of both markets. Last year, both Mountain Village and Telluride had sales of approximately $100 million. (1.) The Telluride Ski Area, Inc. (1980). Ski Area Master Plan for the Telluride Recreation Area.

MARKET OVERVIEW
T
he Telluride regional market segments often seem to perform independently of one another. Historically, for example, there has been a cyclical nature of buyer preference for the Town of Telluride versus Mountain Village. A more recent example is the varying rates at which each of the individual segments of the region has been recovering from the downturn of 2008-2009. This report analyzes all of the residential segments individually but first it is important to put the performance of each segment in the context of the overall market.

The graph above depicts the overall performance of the residential sector of the Telluride region. The regional market peaked from 2005 through 2007, then fell precipitously in 2008 and finally bottomed in 2009. Since the bottom, the market has been steadily recovering over the last four years in terms of total dollar volume and the number of transactions. The year 2012 was particularly encouraging with almost $300 million in total dollar volume on 234 transactions — the best overall year since 2007. Although 2013 pulled back from a relatively strong 2012, it outperformed 2009 and 2011, which kept the two-period moving average trend line positive for the fourth consecutive year. The performance of 2014 will determine whether the trend line continues its upward climb from 2009 or shows signs of a negative tendency.

The Telluride regional residential market primarily is driven by real estate purchases by individuals seeking vacation properties. That means many non-local economic forces such as the profitability of the equity markets and the energy markets influence the relatively small local real estate market. Recent data suggests that the most dominant geographical areas of vacation property owners include New York, Denver, Houston, Dallas, San Francisco, and Phoenix. These geographic ownership areas change over time. The vitality of the Telluride real estate market also is impacted by social influences. Telluride has benefited recently from numerous mentions in esteemed media such as Forbes, Condé Nast and Ski Magazine for its ski resort, nightlife, ambiance and stunning mountain setting. 11

The Ski Ranches has been remarkably consistent in its dollar volume of sales of single-family homes. Since 2005, the average dollar volume sold has been approximately $7 million per year. Like most segments, the bottom of the market occurred in 2009. In that year only one house sold but the following two years rebounded strongly. In 2011 twelve homes sold — at least double the number sold in any of the previous six years.

Since 2008, the single-family lot market has proven to be relatively illiquid in the Ski Ranches with only five lots selling in five years. In 2013, however, three lots sold, marking the best year since 2008. Prior to the downturn, 50% of lots sold for at least $500,000. No lots have sold for more than $500,000 since the downturn.

IDARADO LEGACY
I
darado Legacy is one of the newest subdivisions in the immediate Telluride region. The Idarado Mining Company set aside 125 acres between the Town of Telluride and the box canyon along the San Miguel River for the development of 37 single-family-home lots. The smallest lot is .58 acres and the largest lot is just over 15 acres. The lots are distributed into three neighborhoods: Liberty Bell, Pandora and Bridal Veil. Liberty Bell is comprised of nine lots located on the north side of Canyon Road and is the closest to the Town of Telluride. Pandora is made up of 24 lots running along the San Miguel River. Bridal Veil has only four lots on the north canyon wall.

Idarado Legacy successfully sold all but one of the lots during the developer sales. The least expensive lot sold for $770,000 while the most expensive lot sold for $2.6 million. Initially resales were profitable, but the impact of the downtown has been significant. Of the seven lots sold since the bottom in 2009, only one lot sold for more than the original developer sale.

REGIONAL MESAS
T
he Telluride regional mesas provide opportunities to own rustic properties that range from modestlysized parcels to ranches of several thousand acres — all within an hour-drive of Telluride. Each mesa has a distinct character of terrain, vistas and even weather. Being mostly rural and remote, the mesas tend to be very illiquid properties. Despite their illiquidity, the allure of ranch property ownership always will appeal to a portion of Telluride regional buyers. A detailed analysis of the individual regional mesas is beyond the scope of this report but meaningful insights into the mesas markets can be gained by looking at transaction activity of the mesas as a whole. The analysis below considers sales activity of Sunshine, Wilson, Specie, Hastings and Iron Springs mesas taken together. Price Per Square Foot for transaction activity on the mesas is not analyzed because without significant adjustments to every transaction, the metric loses meaning.

Illiquid market segments often are hit the hardest during downturns. As an indication of the illiquidity of mesa properties, consider that when the total dollar volume peaked in 2007, there were only 14 sales of properties with homes across all five mesas. The total number of properties sold in this segment fell from 24 in 2005 to only three sales in 2010. Although this segment has been slow to recover, there has been steady improvement for three consecutive years. Last year was the strongest of the past six years with the number of transactions equaling that of 2007.

Vacant parcel sales on the mesas also were impacted significantly by the downturn. Unlike the mesa property homes segment, the vacant parcel segment has struggled to recover with only six sales in three of the last four years. By comparison, there were 35 sales in 2005. In 2012 indications grew positive when ten properties sold for the first time since 2007. Last year, however, the number of transactions slipped back to six sales.

26 TELLURIDE MARKET UPDATE
ABOUT THE AUTHOR STEWART SEELIGSON “Sophisticated Buyers and Sellers demand the highest-quality guidance from their agents in every transaction. Stewart’s extensive business education and diverse real estate experience set him apart from other real estate brokers in the Telluride region.” EDUCATION After completing his high school education at Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas, Stewart attended the University of Texas at Austin receiving a BBA in Accounting in 1986. He practiced accounting for five years and became a licensed CPA. Stewart returned to the University of Texas and earned an MBA in 1994, graduating with honors and a specialization in Finance.
REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE Stewart was recruited by Enron Corporation while he was in business school. He worked with the company for nine years, and became Vice President in less than five years. He started as an associate, performing detailed market analysis and complex computer modeling. Stewart soon moved into a lead developer position of large industrial real estate projects, where he negotiated highly structured transactions with large international companies. One of the transactions negotiated by Stewart is the subject of a Harvard Business School case study because of its innovation in the European marketplace. Stewart has been engaged in the Telluride real estate market since 2002. He has been a real estate broker with Telluride Sotheby’s International Realty for the last seven years. Stewart has served on the Board of Directors of the Telluride Association of Realtors (TAR) since 2007. From 2012 to 2013, he served as President of the Association. Stewart was recognized as the Realtor of the Year in 2013.
COMMUNITY Since making Telluride his home, Stewart has been an active participant in the local community. He is an annual volunteer at the Telluride Film Festival and a board member of the Telluride Young Life. He is also a strong financial supporter of many Telluride charities including the Telluride Rotary, the Aha School, the San Miguel Resource Center, Telluride One-to-One, and the Volunteer Fire Department.
DESTINATIONS Throughout his life, Stewart has sought out premier destinations to live, work and explore. As an adult, Stewart has lived in Washington DC, Texas, London, Madrid and now Telluride. He has had the great fortune to travel to over fifty countries. “I have seen the most amazing and beautiful places on our planet but I have chosen the most beautiful, Telluride, to call my permanent home.”
TELLURIDE Stewart’s love for Telluride goes back to his childhood. Each year his family would leave the heat of the Texas summers for the freshness and beauty of the San Juan Mountains. He has wonderful memories of hiking, camping and learning to fly fish in pristine mountain rivers. Stewart remembers Telluride in the early 1970’s. He and his family would drive the jeep over Black Bear pass and enjoy ice cream floats at the Old Drug Store on Main Street, the very building where he makes his office today. 27 TELLURIDE MARKET UPDATE
