Real Estate

 

 

 

The Park City Multiple Listing Service (PCMLS) recently published its statistics for the third quarter of 2024, and the numbers indicate continued stability in our real estate market. The year-over-year numbers for the greater Park City area were highlighted by strong demand, modest price appreciation, and solid inventory.

It is important to note that there was a good deal of variance across areas and product types, and we could use a smidge more inventory, but overall things are in good shape as we approach the busy winter season. Moving forward we will continue to keep a close eye on interest rates, as movement in that variable will continue to shape our market.

Please reach out if you have any questions or if you need any help interpreting the numbers for your areas of interest. Our market is very nuanced, and we are happy to lend our expertise!

SINGLE-FAMILY TRENDS
Sales activity for single-family homes was up year-over-year through the third quarter of 2024. Across our primary market area of Summit and Wasatch counties, the number of homes sold increased 18%, and total sales volume was up 21%. A healthy increase of 5.3% in the median sales price to $1.68 million in our primary market area demonstrates stability in the local market, and all indications are that this trend is set to continue through the remainder of 2024.

CONDOMINIUM TRENDS
Condominium sales activity across the primary market area followed a pattern similar to that of single-family homes, with unit sales up 12% year-over-year, volume up 6%, and the median sale price up 7% to $1.12 million.

MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES
 
The Current Rate   |   October 31st
 
Mortgage Rates Up
for 5th Consecutive Week


"Increasing for the fifth consecutive week, mortgage rates reached their highest level since the beginning of August. With several potential inflection points happening over the next week, including the jobs report, the 2024 election, and the Federal Reserve interest rate decision, we can expect mortgage rates to remain volatile. Although uncertainty will remain, it does appear mortgage rates are cresting, and are not expected to reach the highs seen earlier this year."

INVENTORY  |   Stable & Largely Recovered
 
There were 884 listings in Greater Park City as of October 1st of this year, compared to the 918 that were available through the same period the year prior. This represents a modest 3.7% decline. However, the decline is largely due to the lack of vacant land listings, which are down 17%. Single-family and condominium listings are actually up 3% each.
 
The current level of inventory has recovered well since the nadir of the pandemic years, but there is still room for improvement. During the “normal” years of 2013 to 2019 our market averaged around 1,130 active listings. So while our inventory has shown good stability over the last couple of years, it still has room for improvement.
