Park City Real Estate Trends

What’s new in Historic Old Town Park City real estate?

One of the areas in Park City where there is value being created by scarcity is Old Town. In the span of years from the mid 1800’s until now most of the lots have been built on. In a typical real estate cycle homes will age and then be torn down to develop new product. The difference in Old Town is that there are a significant number of structures on the Historical Register and these cannot be removed to build new structures. These structures include homes, sheds, garages and even chicken coops. Depending on the historical designation many of these structures cannot even be moved. This is why new construction in Old Town is so valuable.

That being said there are some exciting new construction opportunities in Old Town Park City.

The Parkite & 820 Park Ave

The Parkite:

This redevelopment of the Main Street Mall is nearing completion. Located on upper Main Street these 15 condos located in the heart of Old Town’s Historic District is a must see for Park City’s luxury buyer. For more information or to view available listings click The Parkite.

820 Park Avenue:

There are only three condominium subdivisions contiguous to the Town Lift Plaza ski lift and 820 Park Avenue, which is nearing completion, will be the newest most luxurious of the three. All ten of these condos are under contract.

Single Family Homes:

Sampson Ave, Echo Spur and King Rd

There is a s home on King Road that is under construction with an undetermined completion date. It will be between 1800 and 2100 sf and have three bedrooms and three baths. There is a possibility that there will be a basement added but at this point we are unsure.

A recent sale of a home on Sampson In the historic district that had all of the bells and whistles. There was no detail over looked. This home had 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms with a total sf of 3,870. This home sold at $4,000,000 for a per sf price of $1,034.

Echo Spur:

Echo Spur is a new Subdivision of 7 homes on Rossi Hill. Most of the homes will have exceptional views up to Empire Pass in Deer Valley. The most unique element to these homes will be the developer’s commitment to building a “Green Home”

45 King Road:

We identified a 10,000+ sf parcel that had a historic home on it and, for one of our investors, spearheaded the process with the city staff, historical planners and the City Council to get it re-platted. A typical Old Town lot is 1,875 sf. By combining parts of 8 different lots that made up this parcel we were able to create two 5000+ sf lots. We also worked to get the design and plans approved for a new home that incorporates the historic home. Construction is now underway on a 3400 sf home 1 ½ blocks from the top of Main Street on a flat lot a shared private drive. The views are exceptional. This home should be available in early summer of 2016. For more information contact Rob@YouInParkCity.com

Jeremy Ranch Real Estate Park City 2015

Real Estate information for the Jeremy Ranch area of Park City, Utah for the first half of 2015.

The Jeremy Ranch area of Park City is the sunny side of the highway across from Pinebrook. The neighborhood surrounds the private Jeremy Ranch Golf and Country Club golf course. Jeremy’s northern open space boarder is a great elk habitat and a number of hiking and biking trails accent the area. The local elementary school is considered one of the best in the state and the proximity to Salt Lake City and Park City makes this a very desirable community.

Real estate in Jeremy Ranch is experiencing similar market pressures as seen in other Park City communities; high buyer demand with relatively low inventory for sale.

Jeremy Ranch homes for saleOn June 10, 2015 there were 30 single family homes and no condominiums for sale in Jeremy Ranch. The last six months has seen 19 home sales and 11 condominium sales. Single family home sales are the same as a year ago but the median price of the homes sold has risen nearly 30% to $875,000. Condominium sales nearly doubled from the same period last year, but the median sales price has only risen by 15%. This mirrors most of Park City as recent sales prices for single family homes have risen more than condominium sales prices.

A quick look at the pending sales shows that homes priced well are moving quickly. Of the ten current pending sales in Jeremy Ranch, six (60%) were on the market less than two weeks. Normally only 25% of active listings sell in the first three weeks, indicating that current buyer demand is strong.

This strong demand for homes in Jeremy Ranch is great for Sellers but bad for Buyers. Working with the YouInParkCity.com Group at KW Park City Keller Williams Real Estate will give you an advantage whether you are Buying or Selling. Contact us to discuss the advantages of putting us on your side.
