| PARK CITY | A Stable Investment |
|
|
Real estate in the greater Park City area has long been sought after for the quality of life and recreational opportunities that it offers, and it turns out it's increasingly attractive for the stability it provides as an investment. With the recent volatility and uncertainty surrounding other asset classes, luxury real estate is viewed as a relatively stable refuge for investment.
So while existing home sales nationally have been trending down, our sales numbers in Greater Park City have been increasing. We've also seen a 20% increase in all-cash transactions, which suggests that some investors may be shifting away from equities and into luxury real estate.
We'll continue to keep a close eye on the economy, as tariffs could greatly impact the cost of new home construction. And while all-cash transactions are up, interest rates still affect our market, so monitoring rates is always important. But the big takeaway is what we've been telling folks for as long as anyone would listen—the Wasatch Back is both a great place to live and an outstanding investment! |

CONDOMINIUMS
The condominium market around the Jordanelle provides a great example of the nuances in our local real estate market. While the Jordanelle sales volume increased 56% year over year, the median sale price rose only 9%. The reason for this disparity is that a large share of the condo sales in the Jordanelle were newly-constructed units in the Pioche development,
which sold at an average price of $550k, which is one-third of the overall area average. This was balanced to some degree by sales in the new developments at Mayflower Lakeside that sold on average at $1.6 million. There were 102 total sales in Deer Valley's East Village on a median price of $959K and an average price of $1.54M.
Elsewhere around Jordanelle, sales units in Deer Mountain were down 16% with 47 closings, and median prices dropped 9% to $998K. Hideout sales units were down 7% with 67 total, and the median price was up 9% to $1.45M. In Jordanelle Park closings were down 22% with 95 units sold, with a 10% rise in median price to $1.25M. |

| INVENTORY | A New Normal? |
|
|
Inventory levels for our market area have settled into a stable pattern, though levels remain roughly one-third lower than in pre-pandemic years. Looking at the inventory trends over the past few years, this appears to be our new normal.

# ACTIVE LISTINGS | SF + Condos + Land
Greater Park City - Inventory as of the 1st of the Month
|
|
Total active listings at the end of the first quarter of 2025 were nearly identical to the year prior. However, it is noteworthy that single-family listings are up roughly 30% while vacant land listings have decreased almost the same amount, down 29%.
So, if our overall inventory levels are the same as last year and single-family home inventory is actually higher, then why does it feel like there aren’t very many homes on the market? It may be due to the fact that our market area has expanded greatly over the last several years, with “Greater Park City” encompassing more areas of Wasatch County and the I-80 corridor than in past times. So our inventory is actually spread fairly thin across that increased area, amounting to fewer listings per square mile. |
