The latest stats for the greater Park City real estate market indicate a continuing return to more stable, moderate conditions following the hyperactive COVID years. Inventory has improved markedly from the historically low levels during the pandemic, though it remains about 25% below pre-COVID levels. While we would benefit from additional inventory, the good news is that this level is ample enough for our market to operate more normally than it has during the past few years.

|
| On the sales activity front, the overall Park City market area saw slight year-over-year decreases in transactions for single-family homes and condominiums, down 1% and 6% respectively. Vacant land sales were down 32%, but that number is more reflective of a lack of inventory rather than an absence of demand. Interest in vacant land remains strong as evidenced by substantial median price increases. |
|
|
| In general, prices showed moderate growth across all property types in the primary market area, with year-over-year median price increases of 9% for single-family homes, 4% for condominiums, and 29% for vacant land. Looking at the larger trend, prices have appreciated by 6.8% annually (compounded monthly) since the beginning of 2001. |

Despite these overall increases, there is a notable degree of variance across our market's individual areas and neighborhoods. Such variance is not uncommon in our highly-segmented market area. This is one of the most compelling reasons for buyers and sellers to seek the advice of experienced, local real estate professionals.

The Current Rate | April 25th

“Mortgage rates continued rising this week. Despite rates increasing more than half a percent since the first week of the year, purchase demand remains steady. With rates staying higher for longer, many homebuyers are adjusting, as evidenced by this week’s report that sales of newly built homes saw the biggest increase since December 2022.”

Mortgage Rates & Local Sales
Greater Park City Single-Family & Condos
|
|
Our market is well known for a high percentage of all-cash transactions, however, we are not immune from the effects of high interest rates. The current dynamics for our market area are showing an inverse correlation between interest rates and transactions.
|
|
The current interest rate levels may be with us for the foreseeable future, so perhaps mortgage-seeking buyers will accept the higher rates, and we will see the number of transactions move upward. In the meantime, the percentage of all-cash sales for the 1st Quarter spiked to 67%, up from the usual rate of around 50%. |
