Window Shopping for Homes in Park City

By Todd Anderson

Park City, Utah  Home Shopping Historic Main St in Park City, Utah is just as much of a destination as our three world class ski resorts. When visitors aren’t skiing, biking, hiking etc. at Deer Valley, Canyons or Park City Mountain Resort they can often be found walking Main St enjoying the great restaurants, bars, galleries and shops. There are three real estate offices located on Main Street and all of them have flyers in the windows to catch the eyes of passers-by. It is common to see people pointing at flyers and tapping on the glass while getting their friends to see what they see.

 

Comments run the gamut from “OMG that’s crazy” to “Look, we could afford a home here”. Resort towns everywhere get the same responses; I know that I do similar “window shopping” while I am on vacation. I do believe that Park City represents a strong value in terms of other resort cities. That is not to say that Park City is for everyone. A recent look at Park City real estate data showed only 6 homes in the greater Park City area offered at under $500,000 an average asking price of well over $1 million. Slope-side homes with ski-in/ski-out access will start at double the average single family home price.

 

Outliers always grab the most attention. On the attainable side, condominiums for less than $100,000 are available in Park City and on the fantasy side are “Dream Homes” with every bell and whistle for $20 million or more. These two ends of the spectrum do prove that there is something for just about every budget in Park City, UT.

 

We at YouInParkCity.com invite you to take a little time when you are in Park City and go a little further than just tapping the glass on our fishbowl. Walk into our office at 693 Main St. Park City, UT and let’s talk about the possibilities and the right home for you in Park City.

The Kimball Arts Festival

 What Makes Park City Real Estate Valuable? The Kimball Arts Festival             I as I was driving into work today with my wife, she mentioned that it was the Arts Festival that brought her to Park City. Ask a local why they live in Park City, UT and many will answer that they came here for a winter and never left. In my wife's case, it was pictures from the Arts Festival that was the draw that put things over the top.    Arts Festival Before the Crowds         The annual Kimball Arts Festival is one of the many things beyond the skiing, biking, golf, snowboarding, hiking or ... that make Park City, Utah special. It is a vibrant piece of the local Park City community (residents and vacationers alike actively volunteer to help with the festival).  Local amenities like the Arts Festival make Park City Real Estate Valuable by adding to the Park City Lifestyle.             This year marks the 41st annual Kimball Arts Festival. The festival runs Friday August 6th (6pm-8pm) Through Sunday August 8th (Sat 9 am-7 pm, Sun 9 am-6pm). Note that the Friday evening opening is a special "local" event that is free (suggested $10 donation goes to the Kimball Arts Center) and the least crowded time of the festival.             The Kimball Arts Festival in Park City, UT is touted as one of the top ten arts festivals in the country (don't ask me who said this). Each year they receive more than 1000 applicants for only 325 spaces. Tents line the middle of Main St as the area is closed to traffic for the weekend to make way for the anticipated 45,000 attendees. Only the Sundance Film Festival and Fourth of July Parades in Park City put so much pressure on Historic Main St. Things will be crowded, but that is part of the lure. It is impossible to walk through without running into friends you haven't seen in a while.             Music has been a recent addition to the Arts Festival with 3 different stages running throughout the festival. A free film screening by the Sundance Institute will be held on Friday night at Park City's City Park. Local restaurants have also gotten into the spirit with the "Taste of Art" offering festival goers special pricing and limited time menu offerings.             Real Estate for parking in Park City is at a premium during the Kimball Arts Festival. Follow the signs and directions of the volunteers. Plan on parking away from the festival and walking in or hopping on a free shuttle.             For more festival information go to: http://www.kimballartcenter.org/             Have a great time, and when you find yourself thinking "If I owned a home in Old Town I could just walk over to events like this on Main St." contact your YouInParkCity.com Group Keller Williams Real Estate Professional to make it possible.

Park City Gallery Stroll

             More than just the skiing, biking, golf, snowboarding, hiking or ...it is the local Park City community, people (residents and vacationers alike), and local amenities that make Park City Real Estate Valuable.             Ask a local why they live in Park City, UT and many will answer that they came here for a winter and never left. In this ongoing blog chapter we will talk about some of the many things that make Park City, Utah a special place to live and own real estate.             Today's topic: Park City Gallery Stroll Park City Art Galleries             You spent the last year searching Park City Real Estate for your dream vacation home and you finally found one in Deer Valley. Now you need the perfect piece of Art to make this Deer Valley condominium yours. Where do you look?  Park City's Friday Gallery Stoll is a great place to start. On the last Friday of every month (year around) from 6:00 to 9:00 the gallery doors are open and light refreshments are served just so you can meander through, get familiar with the Park City art scene.              There are 19 galleries within walking distance of each other in and around Historic Main St. Park City that take part in the monthly Gallery Stroll. The galleries feature a variety of local and nationally known artists. Even if you don't find the piece of art you want it is a great way to spend an evening in Park City.             I'll be the first to admit that we often use the gallery stroll as a nice walk before dinner on Main St; snacking along the way. The great variety of galleries and artwork give a great insight to your friends as you observe what each of you finds interesting or moving.
