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. Walk up and down this eclectic and historic street and you will find many retail and clothing stores, art galleries, real estate offices, coffee shops, casual and fine dining, and bars and private clubs (a Utah thing) offering a vibrant and energetic atmosphere not typically associated with the state of Utah (Utah gets made fun of quite often on TV!). This is the heart of the community, and therefore is one of the most sought after locations to live and own property.

PRESS RELEASE - October 10, 2012. The release of the statistics for the 3rd Quarter of 2012 real estate numbers have been highly anticipated as we all seem to agree that the overall real estate market in Park City and Deer Valley has been moving along quite well, but wondering if pricing has gone up or down? Has the inventory shrunk as much as we think it has? And where might we be headed? If you are a buyer today, what will you see in the marketplace?
In reviewing the large amount of statistics for the 3rd Quarter of 2012 we have noticed a decline in inventory, largely due to the increase of sales. In fact, when looking at the Greater Park City area, pended sales were slow to start in January but then have been quite high from February on to
Looking at current real estate inventory levels, we can measure a dramatic decrease in available properties for sale. 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
Trying to time the Bottom of the Market? Real Estate is a moving target. Its constantly changing annually, monthly, weekly, daily. Pricing goes up, and pricing goes down. With such a volatile market, such as what we have been in for a few years now, it is extremely difficult to determine when we hit the absolute bottom of the market. For Buyers, this is your goal. When is it time to score the best deal?
Well, for a few months now, as you'll recall if you have been reading our monthly newsletters, is that we have been saying we thought we were pretty much at the bottom of the market. Now we could not truly say with 100% certainty when we were at the bottom, (while we were in it) but we were quite certain on it, and we did try to let our clientele know of
Things are certainly heating up in the Deer Valley and Park City real estate market. With the inventory of homes for sale getting thinner, the best homes, priced well are starting to move much quicker these days. I'm not sure I would quite call it a "hot market" just yet, but the activity is pretty good.
It was very interesting to see today (Monday, August 6, 2012) that two luxury homes priced over $5,000,000 just went under contract.
The first home is in the American Flag neighborhood of Deer Valley, and is a re-construction of an older home. This new home has amazing views of the lower Deer Valley resort area, and looks to the St. Regis Hotel at Deer Crest. Of all homes for sale in Deer Valley, this was unique in that it has ski access, and views, yet

You'll hear this phrase often; "We came for the winters, but stayed for the Summers!" That is true for just about every resident of Park City. Summer here is truly amazing.

The mountains are getting very green, the trails are in great condition, and the temperature is in its ideal range of upper 60's and 70's.
