Impact of Year Built on Pricing

Recent construction plays a significant role in pricing.

Older homes (built between 2006 and 2010) typically sell for $3 million to $7 million unless they have been significantly updated. Factors such as square footage, lot size, and location within the community also affect the final sale price.

Financing and Transaction Insights

Cash Purchases

In Promontory's luxury market, most high-end properties are purchased with cash. Cash transactions often lead to faster closings and fewer contingencies, making them especially attractive in a competitive market.

Conventional Loans

Many buyers use conventional financing for properties in the $2 million–$6 million range. Getting pre-approved early is wise to strengthen your offer and streamline the transaction process.

Prevalence of Cash Sales

Data from 2024 shows that the majority of Promontory properties are sold for cash. This trend highlights the financial strength of buyers in this market and contributes to a smoother, quicker transaction process. While conventional financing is common in mid-range transactions, cash offers remain dominant in the luxury segment.

Archived Promontory Real Estate Statistics Write-up for 2023

The real estate market in Promontory in 2023 demonstrated resilience, nearly mirroring the sales volume of the preceding year with 78 transactions, just shy of the 81 recorded in 2022.  This steadfastness is particularly notable against the backdrop of rising interest rates, a factor that often influences market dynamics.  The sustained strength of the high-end luxury segment is a key driver of this performance, as evidenced by the significant median price increase.

In 2023, the median sales price for homes in Promontory escalated to $4,250,000, while the average price reached $4,603,304, underscoring the premium nature of the market.  The sales prices spanned a broad spectrum, from $1,770,000 to an impressive $11,250,000, reflecting the diverse range of properties within this coveted enclave.  A noteworthy trend was the preference for cash transactions, with 51 out of the 78 buyers opting to purchase their homes outright, circumventing the complexities of financing amid fluctuating interest rates.

Archived Promontory Real Estate Statistics Write-up for 2022

Promontory home sales dropped by approximately 31%, and prices remained relatively flat.  The average price per square foot was $925, and 44 sales were over $3,000,000.  The top sale in Promontory for 2022 was $8,500,000  (Updated January 2023)

While the number of sales floats back to pre-COVID numbers, prices remain relatively the same overall.  This could be partly due to the two-bedroom double Deer Cottages pushing the number of sales up but at the time pulling down the prices.  Last year, a total of 70 homes worth over $3,000,000 were closed in Promontory.

Archived Promontory Real Estate Statistics Write-up for 2021

Below is what I wrote about the Promontory Real Estate happenings for 2021.  Because this information has been updated above for 2022, we have archived it at the bottom of the webpage.

Promontory has seen many buyers relocating from Southern California, the New York tri-state area, Chicago, Texas, and the Bay Area. Real Estate sales more than doubled over 2019—from $214 million to $466 million in 2020—and we are still on that same track.

We have Promontory Home Sales Statistics: 2015 through 2021 at the bottom of this page.  In addition, we offer a full Park City Real Estate Market Review.

In 2022, the availability of the Promontory Golf Membership has become very important and valuable in terms of real estate - there are currently 76 people on the waitlist for full membership.  Developer properties for sale will offer full memberships (golf), but not all will have access to the membership.  In addition, homes under construction may or may not have membership attached.

Promontory home sales dropped by 15%, but strong buyer interest remained. With low inventory, the prices were pushed by 28%.  The average price per square foot was $713, and 70 sales were over $3,000,000.  The top-priced home ever to sell in Promontory was sold in 2021 and was for sale for $10,825,000.  (Updated 2022)

The lack of inventory in the Park City market has pushed buyers up in price, where they feel they receive a better value for their dollar.  As a result, the luxury market has been strong, and it appears that it won't change in the foreseeable future.

In 2022, the availability of the Promontory Golf Membership has become very important and valuable in terms of real estate - there are currently 76 people on the waitlist for full membership.  Developer properties for sale will offer full memberships (golf), but not all will have access to the membership.  In addition, homes under construction may or may not have membership attached.
