Park City Real Estate Sales and Info Q-3 2012

By Todd Anderson

Oct 07, 2012

The third quarter of 2012 has slipped by and fall is in the air in Park City, Utah. Real estate sales for the area are changing focus a bit from single family residential to vacation second homes and condominiums more focused toward winter sports.

Year versus year sales data for Park City real estate shows a market gaining strength. Single family home sales so far for the year are up 6% versus the first three quarters of 2011 and condominium sales in Park City have seen a 10% increase.

Sales comparisons for the most recent quarter show condominium sales rising quickly in Park City. Sales of condominiums for the third quarter were up by nearly 25% from the same time period last year. This increase represents nearly the total difference in sales when comparing the quarters. A large portion of this was a bulk sale at the Newpark Hotel. When excluding this bulk sale, sales were still up by over 10%. Also of note in Park City condominium sales is the fact that the median price of the condominiums sold is that the median sales price was up over 10%. The median sales price of $315,000 ($340,000 excluding the bulk sale) would indicate that over half of the sales are condominiums that would be classified as vacation rentals.

Single family home sales by contrast have seen a decline in their median sales price ($705,000 in Q-3 of 2012 versus $750,000 for Q-3 of 2011).

The impact of distressed sales fell again this past quarter with only 25 sales that were bank owned properties. This was down from 38 for the same quarter last year; a 35% decrease. Competition in purchasing bank owned homes and condominiums in Park City continues to be fierce; most experience multiple offers, sales prices above asking price and almost all end in a cash purchase sales.

Real estate sales in Park City, UT are location specific and many factors specific to location should be considered when determining which area or subdivision is best for you. Contact a Park City realty professional with YouInParkCity.com at (888)968-4672 for more information.

Park City Utah Real Estate Statistics 1st Quarter 2009

By Todd Anderson

Apr 15, 2009

The first quarter of 2009 Park City real estate statistics show that the Park City and Deer Valley area are not immune to the impacts of the national and global economic downturn. There were 91 total sales in the greater Park City area (PCMLS 1-22): 30 Single Family Homes, 55 Condominiums, and 6 Vacant Land parcels. These numbers as a total are less than half when compared to the same period for 2008 both in terms of total unit volume as well as total dollar volume. While these numbers show a steep decline in the market, there are some bright spots. One major difference between Park City real estate sales in the first quarters of 2008 and 2009 is the lack of new development communities available in 2009. In the first quarter of 2008, nearly half of the condominiums sold were brand new (Newpark Hotel and Silver Star were a large portion of sales). If these are removed from the comparatives, the 2009 numbers while definitely down, do not show nearly as dramatic a decrease. A more telling statistical comparison may be to look at original price versus list price when sold and final sales price. For the first quarter of 2008, the list price of homes sold was actually higher than its original price and the final sales price was about 5% off of the list price. So prices were holding very steady and sellers were getting offers very close to their asking price. The first quarter of 2009 shows a definite softening of prices. Original prices versus list price when sold show a 3% drop in price while the actual sold price represents an additional discount of approximately 8% versus asking price. As with all statistical analysis, it can be very hard to see a true picture when too small or too large a sample is taken. The Park City and Deer Valley real estate markets have bright and dim spots which vary not only from subdivision to subdivision, but vary greatly depending on which side of a transaction you find yourself. Real estate sales in Park City are influenced dramatically by location and views as well as amenities available to the property. Scarcity is a major factor and while there are new products on the horizon, there are very few places that can offer all of what Park City offers its residents and second home owners.

Park City Real Estate 2nd Quarter Statistics 2008

By Todd Anderson

Jul 15, 2008

The second quarter of 2008 has come to an end and the statistics are out for the Park City, Utah real estate market. It is always interesting to see how the numbers stack up to what your gut feeling about how the market is doing. A quick look at the numbers can show that my gut feeling is both right and wrong, as usual, the numbers can be spun to show whichever story you want to tell. Well, almost... There is almost no classification in which it can be shown that sales volumes are up. Single Family home sales for the first 2 quarters of the year were off by 45%. Pricing though was effectively flat (up 1% in town, down 6% in the Snyderville Basin, up 1% in the Heber Valley). Bright spots can be found in single family home sales if you look at Woodland and Francis, sales prices were up 80% from the same period last year. Over-all condominium sales showed a drop of 24% in sales volume, but prices were up by 18%. There were a few newly completed projects that skewed the numbers (please note that it can be argued that this is almost always true in the Park City real estate market). Sales at the Newpark Hotel in Kimball Junction totaled over $24 million and gave the Kimball Junction area a 95% boost in sales volume and a 131% boost is dollar volume of sales. Similarly, the Old Town area shows remarkable numbers unless you remove the sales of Silver Star (new ski-in / ski-out property at the Park City Mountain Resort) which showed over $54 million in sales. Vacant land showed a 60% decrease in unit volume sold while overall pricing was up 14%. The telling number here might be that there are over 1300 active listings for vacant land on the Park City MLS and 109 sold in the first 2 quarters of 2008 leading to a 6 year supply of inventory at the current sales pace. There are bright spots and dim spots throughout the sales report for the first 2 quarters of 2008. All real estate is local down to the block, side of the street, which ski run you're on, or on which hole of the golf course your home sits.
