The Park City Board of REALTORS® has released annual statistics for Summit and Wasatch Counties. The 2017 year-end summary report indicates the overall real estate market continues to be healthy, steady, and growing at sustainable rates.

The number of single-family home transactions and the median sales price grew at 5% and 14% respectively over the past year. 84% of these sales occurred outside the Park City Limits, as primary home buyers’ demand for the Wasatch Back lifestyle increased. The number of condominium transactions and median sales price grew at 4% and 6% respectively from 2016 to 2017. Condominium sales grew at a slightly faster pace inside the Park City Limits than in other areas in Summit and Wasatch Counties.

You In Park City's Todd Anderson, President of the Park City Board of REALTORS® commented, “These growth rates are highly sustainable. We believe the real estate market in Summit and Wasatch Counties is balanced between buyers and sellers. That being said, the market could always use more inventory.”

Conclusions

At a 40,000-foot level, the Greater Park City Area real estate market looks healthy and steady. However, each micro-market needs to be understood apart from the overall market; simply reviewing the numbers is not suficient to understanding property value. Sales in individual markets can be influenced by a number of factors, including unique outlier sales that can heavily weight the statistics. In addition, amenities, property condition, floorplan, location, inventory, and new construction impact the numbers. The only sure way to fully understand the real estate market in Summit and Wasatch Counties is to contact a You In Park City Realtor®.

New Way to Sell Real Estate: The Auction Block

By Todd Anderson
Aug 21, 2015

auction saleThere’s a new business model for selling real estate in the Park City area that is becoming increasingly popular. As you may know, the usual way to sell property is to hire a real estate agent, who then puts the property on the market and stages it. Then you wait for an acceptable offer, which with any luck, will let the seller walk away with a substantial check.

However, now a new approach has hit the Park City real estate market. It has become an enticing proposal for homeowners to put a property up for auction — especially if they have the desire to sell the home quickly.

Instead of waiting for lengthy periods of time to sell high-end property, homeowners are now auctioning their real estate when they are willing to risk getting a lower price in exchange for a faster sale.

Essentially, homeowners will pay an auction firm an upfront fee to market their homes across the country, as well as internationally. This will result in a large number of potential buyers by the auction date.

In reality, one thing that real estate agents may not do as effectively as an auction house, is to bring a sense of urgency to the sale.

Additionally, the process can be so successful that an actual action doesn’t happen. Agents in this area have seen properties that have been ready for auction go to a buyer who just didn’t want to lose the home, so a price that is just to good to pass up is offered. And for sellers, this is a great outcome.

There are, however, some risks that may come with the auction process. For instance, with an “absolute” auction, which is an instance where the top dollar that the bidders are willing to offer becomes the final price. There is no turning back for sellers once the auction has started.

The entire process can be intense. Sellers have no guarantee that the price they want for their property will be met, so it is definitely not a process for the faint of heart.

It is however, a good option for those who are willing to take a more aggressive approach to getting their properties sold — especially those within the higher end markets.

If you are interested in selling properties through an auction process, or even through a traditional method, the YouInParkCity.com Group at KW Park City Keller Williams Real Estate can give you a distinct advantage. Contact us today to discuss all your options!
