The latest stats for the greater Park City real estate market indicate a continuing return to a more stable market following the hyperactive COVID years. Inventory has improved from the historically low pandemic levels, though it remains about 25% below pre-pandemic levels.

On the sales activity front, the overall Park City market area saw slight year-over-year decreases in transactions for single-family homes and condominiums, down 1% and 6%, respectively. Vacant land sales were down 32%, but that number is more reflective of a lack of inventory rather than a lack of demand. Interest in vacant land remains strong as evidenced by median price increases.
In general, prices showed moderate growth across all property types in the primary market area, with year-over-year median price increases of 9% for single-family homes, 4% for condominiums, and 29% for vacant land. Looking at the larger trend, prices have appreciated by 6.8% annually (compounded monthly) since the beginning of 2001.

MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES
The Current Rate   |   April 25th

“Mortgage rates continued rising this week. Despite rates increasing more than half a percent since the first week of the year, purchase demand remains steady. With rates staying higher for longer, many homebuyers are adjusting, as evidenced by this week’s report that sales of newly built homes saw the biggest increase since December 2022.”
