It is just barely May, there are still snowflakes in the Park City, UT 10 day weather forecast and I haven’t even thought about taking out a pair of short pants; so is it too early to think about the 2014/2015 ski season and owning a home or condo in Park City?
My email inbox is trying to tell me that even though I haven’t tuned up my mountain bike or straightened out my golf swing that it is time to think about winter.
Season pass deals for next ski season are on sale now and with some great incentives to buy now. Adult season passes for Park City Mountain Resort start at $725 if purchased before May 15; after that they move to $815 (and up). Epic passes for Canyons Resort (and 10 other Vail Resorts run mountains) include two Buddy passes if you put down $49 toward the pass before May 26, 2015. Buying now also gets you the upcoming summer biking and hiking season at both resorts (scheduled to start June 12th at Canyons and May 23rd at Park City Mountain Resort).
On top of season ski pass deals in my email inbox, I’m already seeing messages from property management companies with deals on 2014/2015 winter bookings which include lift tickets or gift cards for those that plan early.
So how does this apply to Park City real estate? In the past 21 days (effectively the end of the ski season), there have been 20 ski vacation homes and condominiums that have gone under contract. There have also been 30 new listings of homes and condominiums we would consider to be in line with ski vacation ownership property. Three of these new 30 are already under contract!
The end of the season often brings a clean break for Buyers and Sellers when it comes to mountain vacation properties. The deals are out there and as the ski season gets closer, prices often times go up.
