Of the 10 metro areas with the biggest price jumps in the fourth quarter, seven were in the West.  Park City real estate is also seeing an upward trend with inventory at it lowest since 2007.  With low mortgage loan rates it is a great time to invest in Park City or Deer Valley real estate even as prices are slowly ticking up they are still low compared to where they were at before the market crash.

Park City Real Estate Statistics - Year End 2012

By Delia Reece
Jan 24, 2013

Real estate is off to a good start in 2013, as the year-end 2012 statistical report released by the Park City Board of REALTORS® indicates that in 2012 we saw an increase in the number of sales and total dollar volume, with real estate inventory the lowest it has been in over six years! The 2012 report also shows a slight gain in median prices compared to 2011, with the number of sales contining to climb in 2012 with a 9 percent increase over 2011 in all property types combined. With only 1,879 active listings on the market for 2012 compared to 2,146 in 2011, our real estate inventory levels have decreased by 12%.

The median price, for all property types combined (single family houses, condos, vacant lots and fractional interest properties), has rebounded nicely in 2012. Within the Park City Limits area, median single family home prices show an 8 percent increase over last year reaching $1,077,500. Condos are down three percent to $522,500 and vacant land is down two percent at $475,000.

The number of distressed properties on the market has continued to drop through 2012 and the number of Notices of Default has decreased compared to previous years. Interestingly, the prices of distressed properties that come on the market are listed very close to market price or sometimes even above market. For the fourth quarter in Summit County, distressed sales accounted for only 13% of total sales which is down 31% from the fourth quarter in 2011.

The Park City Real Estate market continues to strengthen with positive signs in the number of sales, dollar volume, pricing and inventory.  The combination of all of these factors points to a continued active market through 2013. Prices in our market have generally been falling for four straight years, with many parts of our market 40-50% below where prices were at the peak.  However the downward pressure on prices now seems to be over, and with inventory levels in decline, there aren’t as many choices as in the past. If strong buyer interest and activity continues, the number of sales, as well as prices will probably increase through 2013.

 

 

 

Luxury Brand Hotels Helping to Boost Park City Real Estate

By diana
Dec 18, 2012

In the past four years, four luxury hotels have opened in Park City, making Park City a growing high end destination for travelers.  The St. Regis Deer Valley, Montage Deer Valley, the Hyatt Escala and Waldorf Astoria are all new names pulling in new clientele.  Park City condo and home owners often begin as hotel guests, and with the additional of these luxury hotels Park City Realtors are seeing a positive impact.

Many guests of the hotels are brand loyal and a huge reason they are now coming to Park City is because they either love the Montage, St. Regis, Hyatt, or Waldorf Astoria brand.  Once they visit Park City they fall in love with the town and then pursue buying Deer Valley or Park City Real Estate.  The hotels are also helping to make Park City known throughout the US and the world, a plus for all industries including real estate.

Park City Construction Industry Has Best Month of the Year

By diana
Nov 27, 2012

The month of October was good to the construction industry in Park City.  The Park City Building Department reported that for October the number was a little less than $12.4 million, the best of so far this year the by a little less than $4 million.  The number 2 month was September with 8.5 million.  To have two big months in a row is very encouraging to builders and Park City real estate.

The Building Department reported that alterations and additions accounted for virtually all of the income for the month.  The October 2012 number is well over the figure from October 2011, which was just 3.7 million.  The industry is more than 62 percent ahead of numbers from 2011 through the month of October. It is a great sign that the construction industry is recovering from the recession and that things are looking good for a strong year in 2013.  As real estate agents in Park City we have seen a huge rise in the purchase of Park City vacant lots a good sign that more building is to come in the future.
