Buying a vacation home is a significant investment, often more complex than purchasing a primary residence.

Here are the top reasons why hiring a buyer's agent is a smart move:
1. Local Market Expertise: Buyer's agents specializing in vacation home markets possess in-depth knowledge of specific areas, including pricing trends, neighborhood characteristics, and hidden gems often overlooked by out-of-town buyers.

Halloween is a tricky holiday for mountain town living. When October 31st comes around, good weather is not guaranteed. We have seen sunny, blue-sky, 80-degree days and freezing, blowing snowstorms. Starting trick-or-treat activities early in the day can be valuable, especially in colder years. Once the sun sets over the ridgeline, it can get quite cold quickly.
A long-time local's favorite tradition is the annual Halloween celebration on Park City's historic Main Street. Closed for pedestrian traffic only from 3 pm to 6 pm, this is a great way to get a start on the trick-or-treat fun before dark. Dressed-up kids, parents, and even dogs travel up to Main Street, where most shops and merchants are kind enough to host PC residents and hand out bag

Reviewing real estate statistical data through May 2023, the amount of listing inventory has not increased, and the selling price of closed sales has not decreased. Sales have been steady, with selling prices at about 93-96% off the active list price. The days-on-market has continued to increase all year, now up to just over 100 days on average. The market feels active and somewhat balanced, with no clear direction favoring buyers or sellers. Now that we are into mid-June, we are seeing some good options coming to market, and we seem to see continued activity in sales. For buyers waiting for a significant slowdown leading to discounted buys, we just are not seeing signs of that type of market.

For eight consecutive months, the number of active listings for residential properties in Park City has been on the decline. Last year, March had 197 listings for sale, then climbed to over double at 460 listings in July 2022. Since July of last year, the number of properties available to buyers has decreased to 345 listings for sale in March 2023. The number of closed sales in March 2022 was 119, with only 86 in March 2023, a decrease of 28%. Last spring seemed to be the start of the slowdown from the rapid-fire activity fueled by the pandemic, so, logically, we would see a decrease in unit sales year over year. Year-to-date, the slowdown is more apparent, with Q1 2022 having 364 sales and Q1 2023 only at 177 sales, a decrease
