Ski Season

For the fifth weekend in a row it was a stormy and snowy Saturday. Park City and Deer Valley received another 4 inches of snow, with Alta and Snowbird receiving about 18 inches. Needless to say, the new snow has increased the excitement around town and we are all hoping that this is a sign of a cold and snowy winter.

In real estate, we are experiencing a spike in activity which I expect is being brought on by the early snowfall. It appears that many buyers are taking advantage of the low interest rates and stable prices to pick up a rental ski condo for this season. With rental companies reporting very strong pre-season bookings, buyers have seen that this is a great time to purchase and receive the benefits of a strong rental season. While it’s getting late in the year, a few people are still picking up older condos in original condition to remodel for this year. While becoming fewer and fewer, the older condos around the Park City resort continue to be excellent buys as the remodeled prices continue to attract higher and higher resale values.

It is looking like it is going to be a fabulous ski season, so plan your vacation to Park City, Deer Valley now, before everything is booked!
