Park City Real Estate Trends

Park City Real Estate Sales mid-Ski Season

By Todd Anderson
Feb 15, 2012

The 2011-2012 ski season is half over; hard to believe, but it is true. It is a great time to check on real estate sales in Park City as well as a time to remind yourself to get out and ski before you start thinking about summer related activities. Skiing Deer Valley Trees So far this season the lack of snowfall hasn’t impacted Park City real estate sales. The December through mid-February period equating to half of the winter season shows sale numbers about on par with the same period in 2010-2011 even though the snow depth has been less than half of last season. Current trends still show pricing down (about 4% on single family homes and 10% on condominiums). Unit sales of homes and condominiums are nearly identical for the periods while building lots are off nearly 40% for the period. The drop in vacant lot sales appears to have been impacted by the drop in bank REO offerings which represented 25% of the sales last year and only 5% of the vacant lot sales this season so far.

 

Other interesting trends for the current ski season real estate sales include:

 

Fewer sales of condominiums over $1M and half as many sales of Park City area condominiums in the luxury category (over $2M) compared to the previous season.

 

Park City Single family home sales remain steady across all market levels including the luxury segment over $2M.

 

Bank REO sales were down dramatically for the compared seasons, but look for that to change as the MERS issues are cleared nationally.

 

Canyons Resort real estate is showing stronger condominium sales, but weaker single family home sales.

 

Data herein is derived from the Park City MLS system for sales in the greater Park City areas (areas 1-23). Data is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. For specifics about any Park City real estate neighborhood contact a realty professional with the YouInParkCity.com group at (888)968-4672.

Park City and Deer Valley real estate sales for Q2 2009

By Todd Anderson
Jul 11, 2009

            With the end of June came what is considered summer here in Park City after an unusually wet spring "mud-season". The end of June also marks the end of the 2nd quarter and time for a Park City and Deer Valley real estate market update. The Park City and Deer Valley home and condominium sales for the quarter show that the market has slowed, but probably not as much as people think.             For comparison purposes, we will look only at areas 1-22 for the Park City MLS which includes the Park City neighborhoods of: Old Town, Thaynes, Lower Deer Valley, Deer Crest, Upper Deer Valley, Empire Canyon, The Aerie, Prospector, Park Meadows, The Canyons, Olympic Park, Silver Springs, Old Ranch Road, Kimball Junction, Pinebrook, Summit Park, Jeremy ranch, Silver Creek/Glenwild, Trailside park and Promontory. Our data for comparison will be limited to single family homes, condominiums and vacant land.             Sales data for Park City real estate for the quarter are as follows: 120 total units sold for the quarter with 55 being single family homes, 56 being condominiums, and 9 parcels of vacant land or building lots. These numbers represent a drop in total sales volume of 44% versus 2008 and 67% versus 2007. The drop in dollar volume versus 2008 was 58% and 74% when compared to 2007 sales. The lack of new product has a very pronounced effect on the condominium data; look for these numbers to turn around dramatically in the next two quarters as we see the St. Regis at Deer Crest and Dakota Mountain Lodge sales recorded.             The YouInparkcity.com group feels that of particular interest is the relation of the actual sales price versus the original and asking prices at the time of sale: sales prices were discounted 10% versus asking price and 19% versus the original price for the quarter. Of course the relatively small sample size we are dealing with can skew these numbers. For more information or data regarding a certain segment of the Park City and Deer Valley real estate market contact us or call (888) 968-4672. Areas we feel may be of particular interest statistically include Promontory and Empire Pass.
