Here in Park City and Deer Valley we have had great skiing this winter with record snow fall. This is one of our powder days, enjoy!

Many Park City Restaurants have opened or are in the process of re-opening.  We are so excited to go support our local restaurants again!  They are limiting the amount of people and taking extra precautions with cleaning, and creating barriers/space between tables.  Many have outdoor seating so you can enjoy the beautiful mountain summer.  See the link below to get the low down on which Park City restaurants are open and their hours.

Many Park City trails are open for hiking and mountain biking but Craig & Delia we’re at Alta snowshoeing where there is still 4-5 feet of snow still there!  Check out the photo below: 

Spring cleaning is a chance to reset everything in your home. It’s a chance to catch up on all the cleaning tasks you’ve been meaning to get to or to do the ones that niggle at you. Instead of laying awake wondering when you last cleaned your mattress, for instance, spring cleaning is the nudge you need to get it done and get the idea out of your head. In addition, deep cleaning once a year staves off bigger problems, like a mold takeover of your grout. You can clear dust and grime from areas that hardly ever see the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner attachment. By the time spring cleaning is finished, your home will feel so fresh and clean—a state of habitation that will serve you well.

Craig took this photo of Delia at "high-noon" on Park City's Main Street April 11. This was the day before Deer Valley and Park City ski resort's original closing date of April 12.

However, because of COVID-19 the ski resorts closed March 16.  We hope you are doing well and we can't wait to see people filling the streets again in Park City!

We are conducting business, just not business as usual 

Even before concerns of the corona virus hit the market, mortgage rates were down compared to a year ago, creating a more advantageous position for buyers. In the face of COVID-19, the greatest challenge facing the market is still the lack in inventory. Before the virus, the market was already competitive, but with more sellers deciding when to list given the circumstances, the gap is widening. However, as of right now, we are still seeing plenty of market activity.

Here's what we're seeing:

•         Mortgage Rates Are Near All-Time Lows
•         Listing inventory is rising but still low

   Considering listing? There are still active buyers (let's talk)

•         Under

Many organizations have asked employees to work remotely during the coronavirus outbreak. If you've never worked from home, this can be a challenge.  For those new to remote working, here are some tips on how to make it work. 

Self-Care

1.   Cut yourself some slack. Working from home can be a big transition. You might feel any combination of lonely, isolated, stressed, frustrated, anxious, unmotivated, or -- on the other hand -- relieved, relaxed, energized, or productive. It's all OK and normal. Any transition takes time to get used to, so try to be easy on yourself.
2.   Take scheduled breaks. Try setting an alarm to get up and stretch every hour or so. (Standing desks, which at home may mean perching your laptop on top of a bookshelf, also pay
