Promontory Ranch Club Park City Utah
Promontory is one of Park City's outstanding communities here in Park City. It is actually the reason why I ended up living here -but that is another story.
This blog is about the re-boom ( is that a word?) of Promontory in Park City.
Promontory has had an interesting history. It goes sort of like this:
Launch - Wow! great new community
Success - tourists and locals alike took to this community with lots of amenities
Bankruptcy - Ouch. Many homeowners were hurt by this and lost their homes and fortunes
Rebound - slowly but surely
Hot property - Promontory Ranch Club is one of the fastest selling communities in Park City.
The beginning of the Rebound was spurred on by the fabulous priced bank owned homes and lots. The club was still doing well and they built the Shed. One of the best amenities in my opinion. The bank owned deals are pretty much gone, but the popularity remains.
Promontory has beautiful views of all 3 resorts and is only minutes from Deer Valley, Park City and Canyons ski resorts. The shuttle is waiting to take you to the resorts. Don't feel like skiing? The tennis courts are converted into a skating rink in the winter - or how about visiting the outfitter's cabin and grabbing some snowshoes?
It's a community that caters to people that love a fulfilling lifestyle. Check out Promontory's video telling a bit about their resort.

Home Prices increase finally!
Great News!
Home prices are increasing - finally!
Even though many areas have seen increased sales volume, most have not experienced price increases. Park City Utah has super low inventory - less than 400 single family homes and less than 400 condos on the market right now. However, the typical reaction to low inventory of price increases have been slower than what we saw in the boom time.
The article below discusses the beginning of price increases in major cities.

Park City Utah median sales price up
Park City, Utah –The highlight for the first quarter of 2012, as reported by the Park City Board of REALTORS®, is that the median sales price for vacant land and condos, in all areas, has gone up. The median sold price for condos went from $335,000 in the first quarter of 2011 to $401,628 for quarter one in 2012.
This is great news for any Park City homeowner.
A year ago, we continued to see downward pressure on prices which seems to have flattened. “Prices throughout our market seem to have stabilized, and in certain segments prices have started to increase. We saw this trend start in 2011 with single family homes, and we are now seeing it in condo and vacant land sales,” says Mark Seltenrich, statistician for the Park City Board of REALTORS®. He adds, “In certain parts of the market, and in certain areas, some pent up demand is being demonstrated and even among buyers there is little talk of prices continuing to fall.”

The Best Place to live in Park City Utah, Part 3, Old Town
Old Town is the perfect place to live for many residents. They like the bustling energy, the closeness to all things Park City. Read on to see if Old Town sounds right for you:
Park City’s Old Town has a colorful history and is full of character. Old Town reflects the rich mining history of Park City, which was incorporated as a city in 1884, eighteen years after silver was discovered in its mountains. Many of the original commercial and residential buildings still remain, reflecting the Victorian architecture of that era. Main Street in Old Town is known for its great shops, world class restaurants, art galleries and unique character.
You will see multi-million dollar mansions next to small miner’s cottages, homes that are maintained beautifully next to rental properties in need of some love. That’s the beauty of Park City’s Old Town. It’s not cookie cutter subdivision bland. The beauty is in the diversity, the diversity of homes and of residents. Approximately 50% of the homeowners are full-time, the other 50% are either second home owners or investment/rental properties.
From Old Town you can walk to Historic Main Street for dining or shopping. The City has installed stairs at intervals to get you up to Lowell and down to Park Ave. You are in the middle of all the action. Many of the Old Town homes are within walking distance to Park City Mountain Resort for skiing or hiking and biking in the summer.
Prices range from the $200’s for a condo up to $8 Million dollars for a large home on a large lot. The average home right now is 3-4 bedrooms, 1 car garage, 2000 sq ft and runs between $799,000 and about $900,000.

The Best place to live in Park City, Utah Part 2, TRAILSIDE PARK
Trailside Park
Trailside Park is one of my favorite areas – I live there! I chose this area because of the proximity to everything . Trailside Elementary is within walking distance of most Trailside homes along with a fantastic park that includes 2 soccer fields, 2 play jungle gyms, 2 tennis courts, sand volleyball, a bike pump track and a skate park! Whew! That’s a lot of fun right here!
Trailside is mostly primary residents and the homes range from the $300’s to well above $2 Million. It is super popular with families because of all the recreation and fun listed above. No kids, or older kids? The Park City free bus runs right through the center of Trailside, so easy to send your teens off to the slopes on the bus.
Park City Mountain is about 8-10 minutes from Trailside, Canyons about 6 minutes and Deer Valley about 10 minutes. Park City’s historic Main Street is only 10 minutes away as well. It's considered a little bit "out of town" compared to Old Town living, but works well for most locals. Salt Lake City is about 25 minutes from Trailside and both the I-80 fwy and the SR-40 are withing minutes making this a great commuter neighborhood. Doctors that need to be able to be down in SLC within 30 minutes when on call live in Trailside.
Redstone center is about 5 minutes away and you will find grocery shopping, movie theatres, stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, TJMaxx, WorldMarket and many others. My dentist is in that center too!
So, let’s talk about the name…Trailside Park. There are tons of trails connecting through Trailside for biking , hiking or jogging. The trails connect with Round Valley, Mountain Ranch Trails, Glenwild Trails and Silver Creek Trails. Plenty of exercise and recreation for everyone.
TRAILSIDE HOMES AVAILABLE

The Best place to live in Park City, Utah Part 1, JEREMY RANCH
I promised Park City neighborhood overviews, so here we go!
Let's start with Jeremy Ranch.
Jeremy Ranch is a community clustered around The Jeremy Ranch Golf and Country Club. Easy access to the I-80 and Salt Lake City makes Jeremy Ranch ideal for families with a commute to down to the Valley.
Jeremy Ranch is home to mostly full time residents. There are moderately priced homes on the lower part of the mountain along with townhomes and condos starting in the $200's. Larger, estate-sized homes in The Back Nine, Moose Hollow and The Trails subdivisions towards the top of the mountain, priced up to well over $1 million. Many homes have dramatic views of The Jeremy Ranch golf course and all three ski resorts.
Hiking and biking trails surround this community. Shopping is close by with Fresh Market and restaurants at the Jeremy Ranch exit off the I-80.
There is a mixture of homes styles in Jeremy Ranch. While some communities feature the rustic home style only, Jeremy Ranch has a nice combination of rustic along with a more city style of home featuring less wood and some brighter lighter feels with a little more of the Salt Lake influence.
Jeremy Ranch has an excellent Elementary School, and Golf club. Check out the links below for more information.
The down side of Jeremy Ranch is the I-80 noise from some parts of the area and the drastic diversity of price. Some buyers have a hard time to wrap their heads around spending just under $1 million for a home in a neighborhood where you can find a single family home for about $400,000.
Some feel Jeremy Ranch is too removed from town to really feel like they are in Park City. It is about 6 miles from Main Street - not really far. Super easy to Salt Lake City - about 20 minutes to Sugarhouse. Some have called Jeremy Ranch a bedroom community of Salt Lake City.

The Best Place to live in Park City Utah
Visitors come to Park City, fall in love and want to start a great life here. Just like I and many others did!
The tough part is how to choose which area is best for you and your family.
What should you do? Drive around? Ask some locals? Sure, both of those are great starting points, but really your Park City Realtor should be a main source for information.
If your Realtor is good, they make it their business to know the ins and outs, the plusses and minuses of each area. Jeremy Ranch is not the same as Silver Springs or Prospector etc. I don't just look at comps and stats, in most cases we have friends in each area, I have worked with the HOA's, I may even live in the area you are interested in.
My job is to figure out what is important to you. How important is it to have easy access to the I-80 fwy? What do you and your family like to do in your free time? Are your kids young enough to play at a park, and if so, how close do you want to be to it? Do you want to walk to shops and restaurants? Do you like a neighborhood feel or solitude? View or mountain feel?
I don't sit you down with a questionairre, although that might be a good option! We sit down and talk, we spend time together to really figure out what works for you. The area that is best for one buyer may not work at all for another - even if the answers are the same.
In the next few blogs I will go over some of the local neighborhoods and why they may work for you.

Movie Studio Likely in Park City!
Wow, this has been a long time coming, but it appears Park City and Summit County have come to an agreement regarding Raleigh Studios coming to Park City. Quinn's Junction is at the corner of the US 40 fwy and the SR 248 ( Kearns Blvd). See article below:
TO BRING RALEIGH STUDIOS TO QUINNS JUNCTION
Developer to petition Park City to annex land into corporate limits.
Park City, Utah; January 18, 2012
Summit County and Park City officials have reached an agreement with developer Greg Ericksen to bring Raleigh Studios to Quinns Junction area. This announcement comes after more than a year of discussions with Mr. Ericksen on the development of a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital medial complex by Raleigh Studios. General terms of the settlement agreement include project size, adherence to local design guidelines and safeguard the Sundance Film Festival.
One key term of the settlement agreement is an application by Mr. Ericksen to annex the property into Park City. The property is located just outside the Park City corporate limits, southeast of the intersection of State Route 248 and U.S. 40. “The City fought against this project for many years,” said City Manager Tom Bakaly. “Over that past year it became increasingly apparent that the high level of interest in this project by the Utah Legislature, coupled with the pending lawsuit between Mr. Ericksen and Summit County, made it highly likely that a movie studio would be built in the Quinns Junction area.” Given these circumstances it is in our best interest to work with Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios in order to accomplish community goals that “support the lodging industry, protect the Sundance Film Festival from unfair competition, and make this project fit as best as possible with area design guidelines and the Park City brand.”
County Manager Bob Jasper further explained that “while the project will have greater density than our zoning allows on that site, we are pleased to have this lawsuit dismissed and to begin a new chapter with Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios.”
If the annexation into Park City is approved, the settlement agreement would allow a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital medial complex of up to 374,000 gross square feet of density subject to the following limitations:
The hotel would be limited to 100 rooms and 100 total keys;
The entire project would be built to LEED standards;
Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios cannot cause any harm to Sundance, and
Raleigh Studios will have to comply with design guidelines included in the agreement. The guidelines are such that the movie studio’s look and feel would be similar to the surrounding buildings, such as the hospital. Additionally, the City’s Planning Department would be heavily involved in the review of the design.
If the annexation is turned down by the Park City Council after a review by the Park City Planning Commission, the project would revert to Summit County for a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital media complex of up to 355,000 gross square feet of density.
The Summit County Manager has approved the Settlement Agreement. The Park City Council will review and possibly approve the Park City Annexation Addendum to the Settlement Agreement and accept the annexation petition on January 26, 2012. Bakaly added that “staff will recommend that the Park City Council and Planning Commission consider the agreement and public annexation process as a way to accomplish our greater community goals.”
Quinns Junction is located at the intersection of State Route 248 and US 40. It is home to Intermountain Healthcare Hospital, the National Ability Center, the United States Ski and Snowboard Association, Physicians Healthcare, the Park City Ice Arena & Sports Complex, Summit County Health Department and People’s Health Clinic.

Is your Realtor doing a good job with your listing?
Touchy subject, I know.
How do you know if your Realtor is doing a good job with your property?
If it sells have they done a good job? If it doesn't sell are they doing a poor job?
Here are some guidelines to follow when evaluating whether your agent is worth holding on to, or when choosing an agent:
1. Do they answer their phone and email? Not just when you call, but for potential buyers and other agents. I cannot tell you how many times I call on a property to show it or ask questions for a potential buyer and never get any communication back. Test your agent. Have your friends and associates call just to see what happens. If your agent is not calling/emailing back within a reasonable time frame, this is a red flag. Many times buyers and agents will move on to the next property and not even bother to show it.
2. Is your property listed in the appropriate MLS? How unfortunate for the seller that wants to help out a friend with their real estate career and lists their property in the wrong area. In Park City, we have our own MLS that covers the Wasatch back - Park City, Midway, Heber ,Oakley and surrounding areas. Many times a home will be listed with a Salt Lake agent who is not a member of our MLS, so when the agents that work and sell up here pull properties to show, that one won't show up, and most likely won’t be shown.
3. Is your property being marketed in the most effective way for your area? Each area has a proven method for marketing that works. Some areas it is the newspaper, other areas it is a local magazine or radio program. For many resort areas the internet is the most effective tool available. Find out not just the circulation of the marketing tool, but the results of the marketing tool. When looking for a buyer in a resort market like Park City, they aren't usually reading our local paper or listening to KPCW, our local radio station. They begin their search on the internet, they ask their friends for a referral to a local Realtor. Then they start their search.
4. Has your agent helped you prepare your home for sale? Prior to listing, your agent should conduct a walkthrough with you and help with suggestions for decluttering, staging and a list of items to fix. Your agent should tell you how important these things are in the sales process. If a home appears dirty or unkempt, buyers will subconsciously look for deferred maintenance and wonder how the seller could possibly keep up with maintenance when they can’t even keep up with the daily clutter. I offer my sellers a no charge 1 hour consultation with a home staging expert to really give them the edge on the competition.
5. Pricing. Even if you and your agent do everything possible to stage and prepare your home for showing, price will determine whether you get activity and offers. In today’s market price is everything. Every agent should know the maximum activity will come in the first few weeks of listing the property. Having said that, is your agent sharing the feedback with you? Are you acting on it?
6. The key to helping the seller make the right choices is feedback. Feedback comes in two forms - agent feedback from showings, and market feedback in terms of how the homes with which you are competing are responding. Are other similar properties selling and yours is not? Examine why - most of the time it will come down to price.
We know that the majority of the time the buyer that purchases your home will be represented by a Realtor other than the listing agent. So if there are no showings by agents, then they are not all on vacation. They are showing other homes that their buyers think offer the most value. Overpriced properties will only be shown to demonstrate to buyers why another home is a good deal, and they will sit unsold.
So ask your Realtor for a market update. Use this information wisely. Your agent can send you a detailed report where you can look at each and every property that has sold. Were they really better than yours or just marketed better and priced right?

Octoberfest and beautiful fall color at Snowbird
Today was a fall color capturing day and some great fun at Snowbird's Octoberfest. Great fun - We toured the market place, ate some great bratwurst and enjoyed the gorgeous fall color.
See the short video below for the Alpenhorn concert at the top of the Tram. Very cool.

The Canyons and Solitude to connect via Tram
Breaking news! The Canyons and Solitude will connect via tram in the future. The two resorts will be the first to cross the divide between the Wasatch front and the Wasatch back. More details to follow in the coming weeks.
The 2 resorts would have a reciprocal lift ticket agreement. One big benefit is the reduced traffic congestion for Big Cottonwood Canyon.
