Midyear report on the outlying areas/developments of Park City

As we look at the mid-year activity in the outlying areas in Park City, we see a 50% decrease in activity but prices have increased. The area in discussion is everything past the White Barn except Jeremy and Pinebrook….so it covers Promontory, Glenwild, Old Ranch Rd, Canyons, Bear Hollow, Redstone, Tuhaye, and the Jordanelle.

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES:

2007 1/1/07 – 7/14/07

Ave sales price $1.295m

Ave ppsf sold $332psf

Ave days on market 175

2008 YTD (through 7/14/08)

Ave sales price $1.325m

Ave ppsf sold $303psf

Ave days on market 210

Condos

2007 1/1/07 – 7/14/08

Ave sales price $476,422

Ave ppsf sold $421psf

Ave days on market 357

2008 YTD (through 7/14/08)

Ave sales price $570,000

Ave ppsf sold $408psf

Ave days on market 420

Vacant Land

2007

Ave sales price $716,000

Ave days on market 111

2008

Ave sales price $802,000

Ave days on market 253

So we see that the properties have taken longer to sell, but once sold, they fetch a higher price than the ones sold in 2007 in the same time period. This goes along pretty well with what we saw in yesterday’s analysis of the ‘in town” properties. However, the one difference is that the 2008 outlying properties in today’s post did not get as close to the asking price as their in-town counter parts.

Our market has slowed, however when compared to the rest of the nation I believe we are still holding our head above water. This can be attributed to the fact that our market is more insulated than the sub-prime markets, and there are still good deals in the area when compared to other Rocky Mountain Resort areas.

Interesting mid-year report from Park City "proper"

While the number of sales has fallen off 39% in Park City proper (in-town), the other vital statistics have not changed much and we have seen an increase/appreciation in condo and lot #s:

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES:

2007 stats from 1/1/07 to 7/14/07
-Ave Sales price $2,376,000
-Ave PPSF sold $496psf
-Ave Days On Market 185

2008 stats YTD (though 7/14/08)
-Ave Sales price $2,349,000
-Ave PPSF sold $478psf
-Ave Days On Market 187

CONDOS:
2007 stats from 1/1/07 to 7/14/07
-Ave Sales price $1,183,000
-Ave PPSF sold $590psf
-Ave Days On Market 203

2008 stats YTD (though 7/14/08)-
-Ave Sales price $1,348,000
-Ave PPSF sold $603psf
-Ave Days On Market 215

VACANT LAND:
2007 stats from 1/1/07 to 7/14/08
-Ave Sales price $1,306,000
-Ave Days On Market 193

2008 stats YTD (though 7/14/08)
-Ave Sales price $1,728,000
-Ave Days On Market 112

So we have seen the number of sales fall off about 40%, but the other numbers are still holding strong. The percentage off of asking price that a property sells for has not change much either, it is still in the 3% to 7% range. Our market has slowed, however when compared to the rest of the nation I believe we are still holding our head above water. This can be attributed to the fact that our market is more insulated than the sub-prime markets, and there are still good deals in the area when compared to other Rocky Mountain Resort areas.

This is just for Park City “proper”, which is all of Deer Valley, Old Town, Aerie, Park Meadows, Thanyes, and Prospector. Tomorrow we will look at the outlying areas like the Canyons, Old Ranch Rd, Kimball, Promontory, Glenwild, and Tuhaye.

Empire Pass is rolling along and no real news from the Talsiker/Canyons deal

Yet again Talisker failed to close on the Canyons. They did put up an additional $5m, to bring their total non-refundable deposit to $25m. Talisker officials were “unavailable” for comment…we’ll keep our ear to the ground to see what is going on behind the scene…stay tuned.

Here is an Empire Pass at Deer Valley year to date update:

Single Family homes

-7 are on the market at an average price of $6.7m; 5531 sq ft and averaging out at $1,255psf
-2 homes have sold for and average of $5.975m; 4525 sq ft and $1320psf
-7 homes are pending for an average of $6.46m; 6044 sq ft and average of $1054psf

Condos

-76 are on the market for an average of $3.167m and $1436psf. Of the 76 unit, 28 are in the new Flagstaff launch. That leaves us with 48 on the market not in Flagstaff and the majority of those are resales, and there are good deals to be had in comparison with what else is selling.
-19 have closed at an average of $3.177m, and $1208psf….some of the resales I spoke of are under $1050psf.
-11 condos are pending sale at an average of $2.96m, and $1384psf!

Vacant Land

-5 lots are on the market, which average about an acre for $4.115m! These are for the deep pockets!
-2 have closed for an average of $4.8m
-2 are pending at an average of $4.55m

As you can see, Empire Pass at Deer Valley is pulling very strong numbers even in the midst of this slow down. There are still some good deals that the flippers must sell quick. Give us a call or email to find out more 435.729.0022 or robalday@yahoo.com

Market update

Well since Tuesday we have seen 60 properties come on the market, 15 go under contract, and 13 close. The high notes are:

ACTIVE:
-Glenwld lot for $895,000….I would imagine they have some wiggle room here on the price!
-Fox Point at Redstone condo for $420,000; 2bd/3ba, 1302 sq ft, $322 psf seems a little high…there are some great deals at Kimball Junction if you are looking to buy.
-Park Meadows home for $12.9m; 6bd/11ba (2 bathrooms for everyoneJ), 11,000 sq ft, $1173psf is ridiculous for Park Meadows! This home will take a special buyer for sure….it is on 7 acres for whatever that’s worth (not $12m). I must say though I have not been through this home yet, so maybe it will be spectacular.

PRICE CHANGE:
-April Mtn home down to $2.995m;4bd/6ba, 5290 sq ft, $566psf….maybe they are getting more realistic.
-Empire Ave home in Old Town Park City from $1.9m to $1.575m; 4bd/5ba, 2400 sq ft, $656psf is a good deal in Old Town…all along Empire and Lowell they are having trouble selling. Nice time to pick up a deal there.

PENDING:
-Sky Lodge fractional for $269,900, 2bd/2ba, 1260 sq ft, and 8 weeks of use right on Main St is not too bad if you are into the fractional thing.
-Ranch Place home at $949,500; 5bd/4ba, 3666 sq ft, $259psf.
-Commercial building in Prospector for $1.25m

CLOSED:
-Fox Point at Redstone for $363,000; 3bd/2ba, 1258 sq ft, $289psf…that’s a little more like it! Take note buyers of what the one the one above was just listed for and what it should sell for.
-Glenwild home $2m; 3bd/5ba, 4017 sq ft, $498psf is a good deal at Glenwild…..where things in the home market are still hot!

Market activity and no news from Promontory….yet

Promontory has its next scheduled court date next Monday, June 23. So while there is no news yet, next Monday afternoon should be interesting. Other than that, there are some good deals in the development, and the golf season in cranking up & running beautifully.

Just in the past day we have seen some decent activity in the market 36 properties came on the market, 10 closed, and 8 went under contract. The high points being:

NEW:
-Promontory lot in the Painted Sky neighborhood at $769,000. I would let this one sit and see how desperate they are. It is priced well, but let it marinate.
-Promontory home at $2.35m; 3bd/5ba, 5030 sq ft, $467 psf, and they are offering Seller Financing…contact me for those details 435.729.0022 or robalday@yahoo.com
-April Mountain townhouse at $1.375m; 4bd/4ba, 2925 sq ft, $470 psf….there are quit a few of these on the market, and I love this area….you are in the middle of town, but still secluded.
–Chatham Hills home for $1.499m; 6bd/4ba, 4162 sq ft, $360 psf is a bit high…again I like this area for the same reasons as above.
-Deer Crest home ar $5.935m; 5bd/7ba, 6707 sq ft, $885 psf…a bit high, but Deer Crest is one of the premiere neighborhood in Deer Valley
-A development parcel at the “gateway” to Heber for $16m; Beautiful 40.39 acres located on the SW corner of HWY 40 and River Rd. in Heber. Close to the Provo River & nature preserve. Land had entitlements for 244 eru’s & 120,000 sq ft of commercial space. Current owner has a conceptual mixed use village plan with country approvals. Upside potential for investment or J.V. partner. I have looked at this so give me a call/email if you have questions….It could be a money maker!

CLOSED:
-2 Red Ledges lots at $525,000 and $425,000.
-Lot in Lower Deer Valley’s Hidden Meadows neighborhood for $1.25m.

PENDING:
-Residence at the Chateaux in Deer Valley’s Silver Lake Village for $520,000; 4bd/5ba, 2800 sq ft, and a one-sixth interest
-Pinnacle unit in Lower Deer Valley at $960,000; 4bd/4ba, 3511 sq ft, $274 psf it a steal for these units….They rent like wildfire!
