The BIG Question is: "Have we passed the Bottom of the Real Estate Market?"

As Realtors in Park City, we get that question quite often. There is a lot of evidence that suggests that yes, it looks as though we have passed the bottom of the market.

Old Town is one of the most popular choices for out-of-state buyers looking to purchase property in Park City and Deer Valley, Utah. Historic Main Street is the hub of recreation for both visitors and residents in Park City.

We are now just about through the summer selling season and the Park City Board of Realtors will have a Q3 Statistics Report out at about mid October, once we finish up with September sales. Fall is a great time to come view real estate because it is easy to get into most properties as bookings are much lower in the "in-between" season. As we have mentioned before, we have been seeing the inventory shrink. And now when good properties come up for sale, they do go fast. So we decided to look at a few different market segments to see where the inventory levels are at. Not too long ago, it was common to look at a particular MLS area of Park…
