Local Area And Real Estate News

             The ski and snowboard season opening is upon us in Park City, Utah.  Park City real estate sales statistics for the year have shown that property in Park City is selling. Here we will take a more in-depth look at which homes and condominiums in Park City are selling with a focus on ski and snowboard slope-side locations at Park City Mountain Resort.             Park City Mountain Resort offers the fewest opportunities for true ski-in/ski-out real estate in Park City, UT (in comparison to Deer Valley and Canyons Resort areas). Due to this fact, we will broaden the scope of the analysis to include walk-to skiing and riding homes and condominiums. There are three lift access points to consider in determining a walk-to-ski/ride home or condominium at Park City Mountain Resort: The Park City Mountain Resort Base Area, The Town Lift / Historic Old Town Area and the Silver Star Lift area.

            Of the just under 100 homes and condominiums that have been sold in the Historic Old Town area of Park City this year, over 40 of them can be counted in the walk-to-ski category. There have been over 950 home and condominium sales in the greater Park City area this year.  Many Park City real estate sales are to buyers looking for vacation and second home properties, but not all of the properties are ski-in/ski-out or walk-to-ski.             One quarter of the sales of the Park City Mountain Resort walk-to-ski/ride properties have been in the Silver Star at Park City subdivision. There are still a few developer owned condominiums at Silver Star, but the sales within Silver Star have been both re-sales and developer owned models. This indicates that the market has found the correct sales price and buyers are responding. The sales prices at Silver Star this year represent an average of nearly 30% off the historic high asking prices.             For more information on Park City Mountain Resort (which opened for the season on Nov. 20) ski-in/ski-out or walk-to-ski homes and condominiums contact a realty professional with YouInParkCity.com.
