All's Quiet in Park City (and we're above water!)

So Labor Day has come and gone and with it most of the summer visitors. While September and October are my personal favorite time of the year, still warm days but not too hot, and cool nights, with kids back in school most everyone has left. September is the change of seasons month. We had our first two mornings of frost last week but the daytime temperatures are still up in the low 70s. Looking around, the leaves on the trees are definitely getting old, and you can just barely start to see some signs of the leaves turning. It will really be the end of September/first part of October before we start to see big changes in the leaves. But the turn is starting and snow can fall at any time now.

While the summer visitors have left. Real estate tends to not slow down as much in the fall as it does in the spring. Like the changing of the seasons, September/October is also the change of the real estate season, where during the summer months our focus tends to be on single-family homes and more full-time residential sales, now we make the switch to vacation properties. September and October tend to be relatively busy as people are looking to pick up their ski home or condo early enough to allow themselves to close on the purchase and customize the property prior to the ski season. This is a great time of the year to be in the market for properties as vacancy rates are very low so it is easy to get in to see properties, and sellers tend to still be more eager to sell than they are during the height of the ski season.

While we can--and will--see snow any time now, the days in between the storms tend to be very delightful. Fall is a wonderful time to visit where you see the trees turning colors and as we get later in the fall, the higher peaks covered in snow. This makes for quite the contrast and a great time to be up here enjoying the fall weather.
