Park City Real Estate Best Buy of the Week: Brand New Colony Home

By Delia Reece
Feb 01, 2012

This week we are featuring a home in the Colony at White Pine Canyon area of Park City.  The Colony is the largest ski-in/out ranch community in North American sitting on 4,400 privately held acres with private ski access to The Canyons and nothing but beautiful aspen tress & nature to surround you.  All homes in the Colony sit on 4-6 acres of land so you can enjoy the magnificent landscape without seeing your neighbors too.

The home we chose today as our best buy is very unique for the Colony in that it is smaller then the vast majority of homes there that are normally 10,000 square feet or more.  It is also brand new and built in the newly developed section of the Colony that overlooks a pond.  It is a 4,313 square foot home with 4 bedrooms and 6 baths.  Every lot owner in the Colony is allowed to built a main home and a guest house and this is considered a guest house.  So, you could choose to live in it while you build your main residence or just choose to live there forever!  It has been tastefully decorated and comes fully furnished.  It has access to the Canyons Iron Mountain and Dream Catcher chairlifts, so you get first tracks on powder days because it takes at least 15 minutes or longer for people to get to this part of the mountain from the base of the Canyons, it is almost like having your own private ski run!

Priced at $3,599,000 it is a unique opportunity to own in the Colony for half of what other homes are listed for; which is normally $7M and up.  Please call us today at 1-866-709-8018 to find out more about this home or any real estate in Park City.

Deer Valley Specialist Real Estate Tip of the Week: 2011 Homebuyer Survey

By Delia Reece
Jan 30, 2012

Each year, the National Association of Realtors® conducts a survey of home-buyers around the country. Last year they sent out a questionnaire to 81,000 people who bought a home between July 2010 and June 2011.

The results of the survey help both REALTORS® and sellers learn more about their potential buyer’s needs and preferences.

Last year’s buyers (both first-time and repeat) were a little more affluent than the prior year. But because loans are more difficult to get, homebuyers are still cautious with their money and expect to get a good price for a home.

More important than the price is the quality of the neighborhood. 67% of buyers chose the neighborhood over convenience to work (49%), price (45%) and having family and friends nearby (39%).

While the Internet continues to grow in popularity for house hunting, 91% of buyers chose to work with a REALTOR® to purchase their home.

The survey is chock full of interesting findings. To find out more, go to www.realtor.org.

Deer Valley Specialist Real Estate Tip of the Week: Baby Boomers

By Delia Reece
Jan 23, 2012

With home loan restrictions tight for first-time home-buyers, real estate experts are now looking to the baby boom generation (those born between 1945 and 1960) to bring new life to the housing market.

Most maturing homeowners have lived in one place for many years and have built substantial equity in their homes, which can translate into a large down payment on a new home. According to the National Association of Home Builders, 60% of older home-buyers make down payments of more than 30% on new homes, making it much easier to get a loan.

The other important factor is that this group of homeowners is looking to make a change. They want to move to homes that accommodate their evolving needs. With housing affordability reaching an all-time high, baby boomers are eager to move to homes that offer more amenities and age-specific features.

If you are looking to relocate, be sure to talk with your REALTOR® about what type of home will best support your lifestyle.

For rock solid advice on buying or selling real estate, call Craig Reece at 435-647-8017 or toll free at 866-709-8016. Craig has been a full time Park City resident since 1973 and a full time real estate agent since 1978.
