Park City Board of REALTORS® 2012 3rd Quarter Statistics Report

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…

ATTENTION BUYERS: Did you miss the Market Bottom?

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…

Distressed Properties Myths

We all have been in this very tough real estate market for many years now, too many years if you ask me! Here in Park City, Utah, we are in a unique market, in that most of our buyers are cash buyers, and most are purchasing a second, third, or even a fourth home - primarily for vacation use, and maybe some nightly rental use. So obviously we are dealing with a very high-end, very sophisticated, intelligent clientele. But I am continually amazed, at how blinded these potential buyers are when they see what they think is a great opportunity in a Short Sale, Foreclosure, Bank Owned and REO Property.

The reality is that these distressed properties are not always the best deals out there. At least, not from what we see in our little ski town real estate…
