    Does the Realtor you found on the internet sell in the area you are looking?
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Sunday, December 3, 2017 at 2:49 PM By Heather Feldman / December 3, 2017 Comment

    Does the Realtor you found on the internet really sell in the areas they say? How to find out and save yourself huge disappointment. 

    You are like many internet searchers out there. You do a reasonable amount of searching - you research the area, the activities available, the schools, parks, property taxes, maybe even the restaurants. You even research to find the Realtor that looks to be the best for your needs. Their website says they serve your area...but do they?

    There are no internet police determining whether Realtors actually have sold real estate in the areas they claim to service.

    When Realtors create their websites they choose certain cities they clain to service. There are no internet police determining whether they actually know the areas , have made any sales in the areas or for that matter have ever even visited the areas they claim to service.  

     

    I've seen it time and time again. Especially here in Park City Ut with America's Largest Ski Resort, Park City Mountain Resort. Realtors all over Utah have Park City on their list of areas they service. They want to sell that expensive home here just like the local Park City agents do. There's one problem - not only do some of these agents live 30-70+ miles away, they do not know the areas nor the neighborhood nuances. Most have never sold a home in Park City or Deer Valley and many of these Realtors do not even have access to the Park City MLS. 

    I wish there was a little more truth and integrity in this industry. But until there is, the onus is on you, the buyer or seller to ask the right questions.

    Asking questions can help ferret out the real local Park City Ut ( or any area) Realtors from the posers.

    Here are a few questions  you can ask to help determine whether the Realtor you see online that looks so great is for real or just hoping you won't know the difference.  

    1. Ask them to...

    Park City Utah and the 'Vail Effect'
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Sunday, August 2, 2015 at 10:00 AM By Heather Feldman / August 2, 2015 Comment

    Park City, Utah, Real Estate and the "Vail Effect" Has it changed our town?

    This morning I saw a story KUTV posted  about the concern of Real Estate prices rising because of  "Vailienation" - meaning Vail's coming to town has caused Real Estate prices to rise and has priced out many of our locals. The story brought out quite a few negative comments about the growth. 

    Yes, Vail coming to our ski town has changed things. Park City Utah is different from when I moved here 9 years ago, but it was also different in 2006 than it was when I first skied here in 1978 too. Growth happens. Anytime you have a super desirable place to live, people find out about it and it changes. 

    Anytime you have a super desirable place to live like Park City, people find out about it and it changes and grows. 

    Talk to your parents and grandparents about how things were at the beaches in California  20 or 30 years ago. My husband's parents tell stories of how they could have purchased land at Jamboree and Pacific Coast Highway - prime land in Newport Beach-  for $49,000 in the 70's when it was an orange grove. Things change. I grew up in Las Vegas back in the day where the Mob ruled, traffic was light and the town was relatively small. Not the same place it was when I lived there either. Things change. 

    Has it really changed our real estate values? Sure. Areas that are close to the resort like Old Town in Park City proper or The Colony at Canyons - now known as Canyons Village at Park City, Park Meadows and a few more have really jumped in the last year or so and you will find homes in those areas valued at $100,000,000 to upwards of $500,000,000. But, did you know that homes under $500,000 are still available? Condos are available under $300,000? You may not be able to walk to the lift, your drive to the resorts may be 6-10 minutes. 

    Do you realize what that...

    Sellers- Do you want to sell your home or not?
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Monday, July 13, 2015 at 8:24 AM By Heather Feldman / July 13, 2015 Comment

    Sellers - Do you want to sell your home or not?

    I haven't written in a while but this subject has been driving me crazy for quite a while. OK - here we go!

    Sellers, do you know what it takes for the Buyer's agent to set up a weekend of showings for a client ?

    We agents search through sometimes hundreds of listings to dial down the best choices for our client based on their desires, compile that list  set up a showing schedule geographically and  design it to not overwhelm the client, and  try to figure out how much time the client will want to spend in each home to make sure the day flows properly. 

    Not so tough right? Wrong. One of the  most challenging aspects of setting up our clients to see YOUR home is the fact that the agent must be present for showings. Ugh! Really? 

    One of the most challenging aspects of setting up showings is when the seller's agent must be present for showings. 

    Let's look at some of the possible reasons...

    Is it because you don't think the buyer's agent knows enough about your house/neighborhood/area?

    Is it because you feel that your possesions will be at risk if your agent is not there?

    Is it because you want your agent to "sell" the house while the client is in your home?

    Is it because your agent has convinced you it is best if they are there during showings?

    Let's talk about how this decision to require that the agent be present can effect your ability to sell your home.

    1.  When setting up first time showings for a client, buyer's agents show not only homes that fit the buyer's wish list, but homes that are easy to show. Don't tell me I have to totally rearrange the schedule I have spent hours creating because your agent can't be there when I am in your area. Often times your home gets...

    Park City 4th Quarter Real Estate Stats

    For further information, contact Park City Board of REALTORS®

    Park City, Utah – January 23, 2015 – Highest 4th Quarter sales since Q4 of 2005 with inventory at a new low

    Though the total number of closed sales, including single family homes, condominiums and vacant land, within the Greater Park City Area at year-end was slightly lower than 2013, total dollar volume was 8.7% higher and the median sales price was 5.5% higher, according to the Park City Board of REALTORS®. Led by a spike in condominiums sales, the number of closed transactions across the Park City MLS in the fourth quarter of 2014, marked the highest number of fourth quarter sales since 2005.

    Condominium SalesThe big news of Q4 was the huge jump in number of pended sales in October creating a rush of closed sales in the last quarter of 2014, culminating in a 49% increase over 2013. The number of condominium sales for the entire market area at quarter end was 808, which is 10% higher than last year’s number. Condominium sales in Park City Proper bounded ahead of last year’s number, as well in Q2 and Q3 of this year, to end 2014 with 376 sales – up 6%. The median price of $542,450 was 5% higher than last year’s number.

    By area, Old Town had the highest number of condominium sales at 166 – a 6% increase – with a median sales price reaching $390,000. Board President, Nancy Tallman shares, “There was a definite uptick of 4th quarter condominium sales near the base of PCMR. We can't be sure whether this is the so-called ‘Vail Effect’ or just the settlement of the lawsuit and the certainty that the resort would be open this season. Whatever the reason, the sales speak for themselves.” Two other areas of interest include Empire Pass with 37 condominium sales, up 68% from last year, with a median price of $2.8 million, and Park Meadows which dipped 13% in the number of sales but...

    Buying a Home to Renovate Can be a True Bargain…or Not!
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at 3:33 PM By Heather Feldman / November 6, 2014 Comment

    Buying a Home to Renovate Can be a True Bargain…or Not!

     

    For many decades, Hollywood has made box office gold creating comic films about the hilarious possibilities that nightmarish house remodels present: from Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House to The Money Pit (and even Under the Tuscan Sun), audiences delight in the shifty tradesmen and rotting timbers that define the genre.

    If you’re an energetic Do-it-Yourselfer without much remodeling experience, Job One is to gather professional opinions to minimize the likelihood of costly discoveries. But before you even get that far, there are some general concepts that veteran turnaround investors know. These are disqualifiers that make it much more likely that buying a home in Park City Utah will be a shrewd investment instead of dollar demolisher.

     Bad house, bad neighborhood

    Is it worth buying a fixer-upper in a rundown or otherwise somewhat undesirable neighborhood? It can be tempting—especially when the asking price makes buying such a home a seemingly unbelievable value. But ignoring the ‘location, location, location’ truism is risky business. In many cases, such an investment may yield a diamond in the mud—a renewed structure that will never rise in value until the whole neighborhood rises in value (which could be never). Safer choices will be found in neighborhoods that don’t need remodeling themselves.

    Bad house, good intentions

    Buying a home in Park City Ut—especially when the neighborhood is fine and the price is more than right—can give rise to overly emotional decision-making. It can be tempting, when a property is almost okay, to make an instantaneous decision…but if you find yourself making excuses for this or that drawback, or finding yourself indulging in a bit of wishful thinking here and there, take a breath! Hopeful eyes may easily transform to fixer-uppers...

    Busy Park City Households and Home Showings Can Mix!
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Monday, September 8, 2014 at 8:12 PM By Heather Feldman / September 8, 2014 1 Comment

    Busy Park City Households and Home Showings Can Mix!

     

    Selling your home quickly and for the highest price possible demands that the Park City  showings be proactively appealing: that is, more than just a passive display of the residential “merchandise.” To make the most of the advantageous situation that any showing or open house should be, both you and your Realtor® must adopt the approach of any successful salesperson—namely, being certain every potential customer is shown the best aspects of the product. When it comes to Park City Ut home showings, that means staging and making your home available to view. 

    Most of the advice you’ll read about staging follows the same general formula: organizing rooms; maintaining exterior landscaping; updating aged features; eliminating clutter. What’s sometimes missing from those guides is a practical problem: a prescription for showings when the home in question is currently housing a family busy with schoolwork, after-school extracurriculars and full time professional obligations—in other words, modern life!

    Say Yes to your Park City Ut Realtor's showing requests! You can't sell your home if buyers can't see it. 

    No matter how unlikely it might seem, for families whose schedules are already overloaded (and then some), proactive showings are indeed possible! Here are some of the proven ways busy families keep their Park City Ut homes in peak shape:

     Neutralize Décor: To maintain a home livable for a busy family at the same time it’s ready to display requires muting some of the practical as well as decorative elements. It’s a delicate balance that means first removing idiosyncratic design elements, then also keeping as many personal items as possible out of sight but readily accessible when needed. It’s...

    What is the first impression buyers get of your Park City for sale home?
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Monday, August 4, 2014 at 10:12 PM By Heather Feldman / August 4, 2014 Comment

    What impression is your Park City Ut House for Sale Sending? 

     

    “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”

    It’s a saying that job applicants (at least the successful ones) take to heart. It’s why a lot of serious primping goes on before a blind date. It’s why movie directors spend as much time as it takes to light and prepare the first shot that will introduce their lead actress. And if you’re going to have a house for sale in Park City this summer, it’s why it’s worth it to take pains to make its first impression as strong as possible.

    Making any Park City house for sale’s debut a success doesn’t have to break your back or your bank account. Here are some simple, affordable projects that can be done in a single weekend:

    Update Exterior Lighting

    For prospective buyers whose first look at your house for sale comes in an evening drive-by, exterior lighting plays a leading role. If your lighting setup is more than ten years old, you may be able to do a quick transformation by replacing outdated fixtures with stylish new ones. If twilight showings are likely, consider adding a lighted path from driveway to door.

    You've got to get them in the door to sell them on the features of your Park City Ut  home.

    Warm Up the Front Porch

    There’s an emotional component that goes into making a house for sale—one that’s truly “inviting.” Often, the key factor is whether prospective buyers can easily picture themselves and their family enjoying an afternoon or evening in the place. Think about whether investing in a few pieces of attractive, comfortable-looking outdoor furniture you could place on the front porch (or other outdoor space) could help buyers picture themselves enjoying a leisurely after-dinner conversation…and...

    Empty Nest in Park City Utah Doesn't Necessarily Mean Downsizing
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 at 10:59 AM By Heather Feldman / July 16, 2014 Comment

    ‘Empty Nest’ Doesn’t Make the Downsizing Choice Inevitable

     

    Many people assume that when the kids leave home, their newly empty nest automatically signals that downsizing into a smaller house or condo is the next step. In truth, for such families living in Park City Utah, downsizing is a common option—one that could very well be the best choice.

    But, as the old Gershwin tune says, “it ain’t necessarily so...”

    For many of us, once we establish a firm direction in life, a lot of decisions are more or less made without much hesitation. Career, family, and even community needs head us in certain directions, so a lot of choices are obvious. But every once in a while the paths open up, and it’s time to take a breath, clear the head, and realize that there may be a lot more freedom to change course than we are used to. When the downsizing idea bobs to the surface, it’s likely to signal such a turning point. That’s when it’s your true interests and passions should govern your next step—especially with respect to your residential options, which will shape much of what happens next. If this summer you find yourself musing about downsizing, it might be fun to also consider-

    Upsize:  It sounds backwards: moving into a larger home with your smaller family. Yet if you have special interests or hobbies that have always called for a lot of elbow room, this could be the chance to add a workshop, rehearsal space, or studio that you’ve never quite been able to wangle. A larger home can also provide extra space you may need to accommodate the rest of the family when they come for a visit (especially if that family is going to be growing!).

    In Park City Utah, Downsizing can mean "UpSizing"

    or moving closer to town.

    Follow your heart: Have you...

    Gains in Park City Ut Real Estate nowhere near 'Bubble' level
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Friday, July 4, 2014 at 9:43 AM By Heather Feldman / July 4, 2014 Comment

    Gains in Park City Utah Home Prices

    Nowhere Near ‘Bubble’ Territory

     

    For the past two years national home prices have risen sharply, which might lead to the conclusion that they are overpriced. In fact, if we’re to believe the most recent report by real estate website Trulia, they are still 5% undervalued when measured against long-term fundamentals. So will this summer’s home prices in Park City  be broaching unsustainable levels—or will they be reasonable?

    The Problem of Measuring Only Home Price Increases

    Real estate price increases by themselves are poor indicators of over- or undervalued real estate. Because of the headlong drop in real estate prices in 2007, throughout most of the country, prices have increased significantly without approaching the previous highs. A well-publicized example is in Las Vegas, where prices have increased by almost 60% over the last couple of years, yet by many yardsticks remain affordable. Park City neighborhoods are hovering in the pre-bubble prices with a few exceptions. 

    How Home Affordability Is Measured

    There are a number of different ways of measuring whether home prices in Park City Ut could be considered to be over- or undervalued. They include looking at how current prices compare with long-term trends; how prices measure up against average incomes; the comparable cost of renting, etc. The Trulia report used a wide range of these indicators to emerge with a complete picture of the affordability of real estate across the country. Not all research confirms Trulia’s assertion. According to the Fitch Sustainable Home Price Model, national prices are overvalued by something like 15%. Critics note, however, that the Fitch model is distorted by prices in some of the markets selected – particularly California....

    Buying a Home with no Disclosures - caution
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Tuesday, July 1, 2014 at 9:34 AM By Heather Feldman / July 1, 2014 Comment

    Energetic Due Diligence for a Bank Owned Property  Vacant in Park City Utah 

     

    Suppose that in the course of buying a home in Park City, your eye is drawn to a bank-owned home,a home held in a trust, or a second home. There are many reasons why you could find yourself buying a Park City or Deer Valley home that’s currently vacant—which can also mean that the usual owner disclosures are not to be had. There are perfectly innocent reasons why this situation develops. Suppose the sellers of the property have just inherited it. How would they know that water tends to pool under the house during a strong rainstorm? Or that unpermitted repairs were made to the electric wiring in the kitchen? 

    If thoughts like these cause beads of sweat to pop out all over your forehead, don’t fret. This summer we can find you plenty of alternatives in Park City’s traditional housing market. But before you automatically pass on a vacant home because of unknowns in its history, you should know that, with due diligence, you can still end up with a home that is worth your money and a safe place to live!

    When you consider a vacant home, the most reliable information will come after you’ve arranged an inspection.

    The inspector’s report will let you learn what you’re getting into before you buy—and whether it’s in safe and livable condition. Most homes that fall vacant due to circumstances like divorce or a move are well cared-for and in decent shape; others, long abandoned, are more likely to have fallen into disrepair. Without any owner disclosures, you’ll be on your own to discover potentially major issues like leaking pool equipment or pest problems.

    Even after you’ve had a thorough inspection, there is still a good chance you will encounter at least some surprises. There are some elements of a home that can’t really be properly inspected—like...

    Park City Rental Property Investments - Rentals in High Demand
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Sunday, June 29, 2014 at 9:15 PM By Heather Feldman / June 29, 2014 Comment

    Park City Ut. Rental Property Investments

    They’re Out There and They're in High Demand!

     

     When any investor first begins to mull over the idea of acquiring a rental property in Park City Utah  it’s usually in competition with an array of other investment types—each with its inherent plusses and minuses. Some of them are new ideas (new technology company stocks; new forms of commercial exchange)—but real estate is definitely not one of those. It may not be innovative, but being a landlord has always been one of the leading sources of passive income.  

    Right now long term rentals are in high demand in Park City. 

    What is exciting about rental property is why it has always been recognized as a sound investment. When the income from a Park City  rental property is able to pay for its own underlying mortgage, it self-propels its growing equity. The rental property’s investment value grows as the loan is paid down month by month, year after year. Added to that is any appreciation in its market value.

    And with the best Park City rental property scenario, when rental income exceeds mortgage and other expenses, it will even throw off an extra income stream.

    Needless to say, choosing the right rental property in Park City is worth the effort! Much of that effort involves making a serious effort to map out and project values, income and expense:

    • Neighborhood: Consider how the overall desirability of the neighborhood is likely to affect its appeal to tenants. Are there attractive amenities like parks, shopping and entertainment venues? What do the local classified ads reveal -- is the area’s vacancy rate high or low? How do rental prices compare with adjacent neighborhoods?
    • Project Ancillary Expenses:  Determine the historical property tax rates, and what future rate changes...

    Tricks for Successfully listing your Park City Ut home a Second Time
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Friday, June 6, 2014 at 8:04 AM By Heather Feldman / June 6, 2014 Comment

    How Listing Your House in Park City Utah

    Can Work…the 2nd Time!

     

    Listing your house in Park City Ut anew after it’s lingered on the market for a while can bring surprisingly quick success…with the right tactics.

    The truth is, if a home hasn’t sold in today’s market, there is usually an identifiable reason. Here are some tips that can reverse what happened when listing your house the first time failed to strike pay dirt:

    • Compare prices of comparable homes that have sold in your neighborhood, and use those as the benchmarks. If your area listing was priced to allow 10-20% for negotiating room, that’s the likely culprit. Consider listing your Park City Utah house at 1% to 5% below your competitors—it’s a proven way to get more feet through your entryway.
    • A well thought-out marketing strategy with multiple advertising channels can be a necessity in a competitive area. Discuss taking advantage of social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube with your Park City real estate agent. Is there a way you as a homeowner can help? Consider holding mid-week open houses in the evening hours so visitors can drop by on their way home from work. Being extra flexible and accommodating can make the difference in getting qualified buyers through the door.
    • If you are listing your house in Park City Ut for a second time, you will want to make any deferred repair and cosmetic décor change you may have put off the first time ‘round.

    The vast majority of today’s Park City Utah buyers are looking for a home that’s 100% “move-in ready.”

    • Patience is never more critical than when negotiating a price for your home. Refuse to be put off by offers that are lower then what you were expecting. You don’t need to accept such offers—but rather than just rejecting them, consider offering...

    Park City Ut Home sellers may benefit from Mortgage Turnaround!
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Monday, May 26, 2014 at 5:08 PM By Heather Feldman / May 26, 2014 Comment

    Park City Ut Homesellers may benefit from

    Mortgage Turnaround 

     

    “U.S. Backs Off Tight Mortgage Rules” screamed the top headline on the front page of The Wall Street Journal last week. For Park City Utah mortgage shoppers, it could scarcely have been better news. Probably.

    ‘Probably’ because any change is not yet a done deal, but it’s hard to see what will derail the likely full reverse of the federal establishment’s years-long tight home loan policy. Why is this suddenly in the cards? The full answer is complicated, but here is a quick (admittedly over-simplified) summary of what’s been happening to Park City Utah mortgage applicants—and what probably lies ahead.

    The ongoing real estate recovery has been less of a boon to banks (including Park City's` mortgage originators) than to other participants because of tightened lending guidelines. Since the economic meltdown had been triggered by the crash of too many ‘easy money’ mortgages that had been repackaged and sold to Wall Street investors, regulators created mortgage guidelines that were much stricter.

    Although borrowers found it harder to qualify for mortgages, at the same time, the Federal Reserve held interest rates at such bargain-basement levels real estate sales hummed. But first-time borrowers found it hard to qualify.

    But lately, observers of the national scene have been worrying. Over the past months, the gradual cooling of real estate activity may have been welcome in the sense that the torrid rate of activity had slowed from an unsustainable pace—but some economists began to fret. Even though there was still some growth, now there wasn’t enough—and that could stall the recovery for the whole economy.

    Washington has decided to listen to the worrywarts: hence last week’s WSJ headline story. It reported on the first speech...

    Staging your home for Summer
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Saturday, May 24, 2014 at 9:06 AM By Heather Feldman / May 24, 2014 Comment

     

    Listing Your Park City Utah Home In Summer Means

    Staging tOutdoors  

     

    As the days grow longer and the thermometer rises, everyone wants to start spending more time outdoors—to make full use of our yards and patios. But what if your Park City  home is going to be on the market this summer? Does it mean you have to stop enjoying yourself, stop entertaining guests, just because you want to keep the place in showable condition?

    The answer is, of course, of course not. Using the outdoor spaces of your home means striking a balance between living your life and ensuring everything is in top condition when buyers come calling. It’s actually a staging opportunity, because most of your prospective buyers will be favorably impressed if your outdoor staging areas make it easy to picture themselves enjoying our beautiful Park City summer weather. You know the old but very true saying..." We came for the Winter but stayed for the Summer". 

    Staging your home’s landscaping thus takes added importance during summertime, beginning with overall curb appeal. Any time of year, potential buyers are often swayed by that first impression: as they approach the house, the impact will be one they’d like their own future visitors to have. Staging an inviting front yard appearance does wonders for your selling prospects.

    Make sure your lawn is trimmed and the yard edged. During springtime and fall, a 2”-3” grass length is recommended, but as the hotter summer months approach, longer grass will help shade the soil and keep roots comfy. Minimize brown spots and thin patches by giving the blades an extra half inch.

    Staging walkways and driveways means keeping cemented areas free of volunteer growing things. Having weeds, clover, or anything sprouting between stones or pavement is not only unsightly,...

    Vail offers to buy out Park City Mountain Resort!
    Posted by Heather Feldman on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 at 10:34 AM By Heather Feldman / March 26, 2014 Comment

    Vail makes its move to buy out Park City Mountain Resort

    Tuesday March 25 Vail Resorts made a formal offer to Park City Mountain Resort to buy them out.

    Vail stated their intent would be to keep most of PCMR's employees and still allow Camp Woodward to be built and operated. Tension has been high in our little ski town since this lawsuit has been initiated. We as a community are torn between keeping the quaintness and history of Park City Mountain and creating a destination resort like Whistler/Blackcomb or Vail/Beaver Creek. 

    What is best for Park City? What is best for tourism ( pretty much everyone's livelihood)?
