        <title>Talisker Club: Membership Costs, Amenities, and Real Estate</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Talisker Club is a private membership club with four venues across the greater Park City area: Tuhaye in the Jordanelle corridor, the Tower Club at Empire Pass within Deer Valley Resort, a Main Street clubhouse in downtown Park City, and The Outpost, the club's backcountry venue. One membership connects all four, combining ski-in/ski-out access at Deer Valley, championship golf at Tuhaye, private dining on Main Street, and year-round outdoor programming.


For buyers evaluating ski-in/ski-out properties or Park City golf communities, Talisker Club represents a rare multi-venue model. In some parts of the club's communities, membership is tied directly to the real estate purchase; in others, it is held separately. Understanding how the club is structured, what membership costs, and where membership is actually required is essential before making an offer.


Talisker Club Properties for Sale





Talisker Club Overview


Talisker Club was developed around the concept of a multi-destination membership. The four venues each serve a distinct role. Tuhaye anchors the golf and community side, built around a Mark O'Meara championship course roughly 15 minutes from Park City. The Tower Club at Empire Pass provides ski-in/ski-out access to Deer Valley's upper mountain. The Main Street clubhouse, set in a historic building in downtown Park City, houses Courchevel Bistro and a private member lounge. The Outpost delivers guided backcountry experiences in the terrain surrounding the club.


Membership works differently depending on where you buy. On Tuhaye developer inventory and at the Residences at the Tower, membership is a required part of the purchase. Across most other Empire Pass buildings, membership is available but not automatic. That distinction matters, and it is covered in detail below.


Who Is Required to Join Talisker Club


This is the most common point of confusion for buyers, so it deserves its own section.




Tuhaye developer inventory: Membership is generally mandatory, and the initiation fee is built into the offering price.


Residences at the Tower: Membership is mandatory. This is the only Empire Pass building where the club requirement attaches to every purchase.


Other Empire Pass neighborhoods (Arrowleaf, Montage Residences, Nakoma, Flagstaff, and similar): Membership is not automatic with purchase. Some owners hold membership separately when the club has availability, and some properties trade without it.




The practical takeaway: on a resale in most of Empire Pass, whether membership transfers, whether it can be acquired, and what that costs are deal-specific questions. They should be answered in writing before you go under contract, not after.


Talisker Club Amenities


Golf


Tuhaye is home to both of the club's courses. The Mark O'Meara championship 18 offers elevation changes, mountain views, and a design that rewards precision over power. The Ridge, a 9-hole par-3 course co-designed by O'Meara, sits alongside it and gives members a faster, more casual option for practice, evenings, and junior play. Both courses are member-only and operate on a private schedule that keeps pace of play controlled. Golfweek has ranked the championship course No. 1 in Utah, and Golf Digest's 2025-26 Best in State list places it seventh.


Skiing at the Tower Club


The Tower Club at Empire Pass is the ski centerpiece of Talisker membership. Located within Deer Valley Resort, the club provides members with ski-in/ski-out access, private locker facilities, on-mountain dining, a spa, and concierge services. Deer Valley's commitment to grooming, ski-only terrain, and limited daily ticket sales makes this access particularly valuable for buyers who prioritize quality of skiing over volume.


Main Street Clubhouse and Dining


Courchevel Bistro, the club's French-inspired restaurant, operates from a historic building on Park City's Main Street alongside a private member lounge. The Main Street venue gives members a downtown base for dinner, après-ski, and events without leaving the club environment. Additional dining operates at the Tuhaye clubhouse and on-mountain at the Tower Club.


The Outpost


The Outpost is the club's dedicated adventure venue, supporting guided backcountry programming year-round. It extends the membership beyond the clubhouse settings into the surrounding terrain.


Base Camp at Tuhaye


Base Camp is the club's activity hub at Tuhaye, with bowling, golf simulators, pickleball and basketball, a maker space, and casual dining. It serves as the community's day-to-day social center, and club programming runs through it year-round. The Wildstar Kids Club adds structured programming for younger members.


Wellness and Fitness


The Elevate Spa at Tuhaye and the spa at the Tower Club anchor the wellness side of the membership. The fitness facilities include cardio equipment, weight training, a yoga studio, and a heated outdoor lap pool, with structured wellness programming available year-round.


Outdoor Recreation and What Is Coming


Members have access to guided hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and horseback riding, with regular excursions organized through the year. A member shuttle connects the venues. Two additions are on the club's stated timeline: Hot Creek Cabin, an on-mountain venue off Bandana between Red Cloud and the Montage area, targeted for winter 2026, and Adventure Camp at Tuhaye, with climbing, a fishing pond, and tubing, targeted for summer 2026. Confirm current status with the club, as opening dates can move.


Talisker Club Membership and Fees


The figures below reflect publicly available fee information as of August 2026. Talisker Club does not publish a fee schedule; dues have moved upward in recent years, and exact numbers change. Confirm every figure with Member Services before relying on it in a transaction.


Membership Costs




Initiation Fee: $200,000, typically included in the offering price on Tuhaye developer inventory


Monthly Dues: approximately $2,172 per month (roughly $26,000 per year) based on 2026 fee information.


Membership Re-issuance Fee: 20 of the initiation fee


Equity Structure: Several brokerage sources describe the initiation deposit as 80 refundable on resale. If accurate, that materially changes the net cost of membership, so confirm the current equity and refund terms directly with the club.




Homeowner's Association (Tuhaye)




Tuhaye HOA Dues: $2,565 annually, covering security, common areas, private roads, and gated entrances


HOA Transfer Fee: 1 of the property purchase price




Guest and Golf Fees


Unaccompanied guest rounds run $395, member cart fees run in the $25 to $30 range for 18 holes, and the club maintains a full schedule of guest, cart, storage, and caddie fees that adjusts seasonally. Rather than publish a line-item schedule that goes stale, the working guidance is simple: request the current club tariff before budgeting guest play or storage costs.


Club Size and Governance


The membership has been reported at roughly 895 members against a cap of 950, which is part of why access rules on non-mandatory Empire Pass purchases depend on availability. The club has operated under developer ownership, with a transition to member governance discussed around 2026. Ask the club to confirm current governance status, as it affects how fees and rules are set going forward.


Empire Pass Real Estate


Empire Pass sits at the upper elevations of Deer Valley Resort and is one of the most concentrated areas of ski-in/ski-out real estate in Utah. The community includes single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums across several neighborhoods. As of mid-2026, active inventory generally runs from the mid-$4 millions for smaller condominiums up through the mid-teens for Tower product, with a recent median list price around $7 million. Past sales at the top of the community have reached above $30 million, so the ceiling is real, but it is thin.


Properties at Empire Pass are designed to maximize mountain access and views. Large windows, outdoor living areas, ski lockers, and high-specification interiors are standard across most of the inventory. The Red Cloud neighborhood within Empire Pass is gated, offering an additional layer of privacy within the larger community.


On membership: only the Residences at the Tower carry a mandatory club requirement. Elsewhere in Empire Pass, membership is a separate question from the purchase itself, which makes verifying transferability and availability an early-stage diligence item on any resale.


Tuhaye Golf Community Real Estate


Tuhaye is a private gated community located off US-40 in the Jordanelle corridor, approximately 15 minutes from Park City. The community is built around the Mark O'Meara golf course and offers a lower-elevation, four-season environment that appeals to buyers who want golf access as their primary focus, or who prefer the Jordanelle area's combination of mountain views and relatively open terrain.


Real estate at Tuhaye includes single-family homes and custom home sites. As of mid-2026, lots start in the mid-$1 million range, homes generally run from roughly $3 million to $12 million and above, and a thin ultra-luxury tier now extends past $15 million into the low $20 million range. Closed sales over the trailing twelve months ran from roughly $2.2 million to $11.5 million, with a median near $5.9 million, showing how far the community has moved from its earlier pricing. Land buyers can build custom residences on sites with established infrastructure and community services.


Tuhaye's position in the Jordanelle corridor places it in one of the fastest-growing real estate zones in the greater Park City market. New development in the corridor, combined with the Deer Valley expansion underway nearby, has increased buyer interest in this area over the past several years.


Benefits of Owning Talisker Club Property


Multi-destination access. Full membership includes all four venues, so a home at Tuhaye offers ski access at Deer Valley through the Tower Club, a Main Street base downtown, and backcountry programming through The Outpost. Members do not need to choose one lifestyle over the other.


Privacy and security. Both Empire Pass and Tuhaye are gated with staffed entrances and controlled access. The communities attract buyers who value discretion and a consistent ownership profile among neighbors.


Long-term asset fundamentals. Luxury real estate in the Deer Valley and Jordanelle corridor has demonstrated consistent demand over time. Land constraints at Empire Pass limit new supply, which supports pricing at the upper end of the market. Tuhaye's remaining land inventory creates an opportunity for buyers who want to build rather than purchase existing construction.


Full-service amenities. Golf, skiing, dining, wellness, and outdoor programming within a single membership structure reduces the friction of second-home ownership. Members have access to club services year-round, not just during peak season.


Working With a Park City Realtor on Talisker Club


Purchasing within the Talisker Club involves more than a standard real estate transaction. Whether membership is mandatory or optional on a given property, how transfer and re-issuance fees apply, HOA obligations, and the distinction between developer inventory and resale all affect the total cost of ownership. At the same time, market conditions at Empire Pass and Tuhaye can move independently, and understanding current availability across both communities is part of making a well-informed decision.


Derrik Carlson and the team at Real Estate in Park City have worked extensively in Talisker Club communities, as well as across the broader range of Park City golf communities and ski-in/ski-out properties. The team holds certifications in Luxury Resort and Second Homes (RSPS) and Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), credentials that reflect a specific focus on resort and investment-oriented transactions.


If you are evaluating a purchase at Empire Pass, Tuhaye, or comparing Talisker Club to other luxury communities in the area, reach out directly to discuss current inventory, pricing, and how the club's structure fits your objectives. There is no obligation, and the goal is a direct exchange of information to help you make the right decision for your situation.


Talisker Club: Summary


Talisker Club connects Park City's most desirable real estate environments under a single private membership spanning four venues. Empire Pass delivers ski-in/ski-out access at Deer Valley with limited, high-demand inventory and strong long-term pricing. Tuhaye offers a golf-focused, gated community in the Jordanelle corridor with both existing homes and land available for custom builds, plus the club's newest amenity investment. Main Street and The Outpost round out the membership with downtown dining and backcountry access.


Membership is mandatory on Tuhaye developer inventory and at the Residences at the Tower, and optional but availability-dependent across the rest of Empire Pass. For buyers whose lifestyle priorities align with what Talisker offers, that structure represents a meaningful advantage. For buyers still evaluating options, comparing Talisker Club against communities like Promontory or other Park City golf communities is a worthwhile step before moving forward.

        <title>Living in Park City, Utah: 16 Reasons to Move Here in 2026</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
16 Reasons to Move to Park City, Utah


KEY POINTS: Park City combines resort-level amenities, top-ranked schools, a flat 4.45 percent state income tax, and a 35-minute drive to a major international airport. The Deer Valley expansion and the 2034 Winter Olympics add long-term momentum that few American towns can match.


The best small town in America is Park City, Utah. I have advised buyers and sellers in this market for nearly 20 years, and the reasons below come directly from what my clients tell me after they move. No other small town offers a luxury resort lifestyle 35 minutes from a major international airport. Fiber internet reaches many neighborhoods, cell coverage is strong, the public schools rank among Utah's best, and the community stays active and health-conscious in every season.


If you are considering a move, call 435.200.5478 to talk through the neighborhoods of Park City and find the right fit for how you plan to live here.


1. A Lifestyle Few Towns Can Match


Park City offers more than the &quot;Best Snow on Earth.&quot; With trailheads outside your door, you can hike, bike, ski, or snowshoe on a whim. Other small towns offer outdoor recreation, but none compare on access, infrastructure, or proximity to a major city like Salt Lake.


No resort town beats Park City for convenience and accessibility. Whether you are moving full-time, purchasing a second home, or investing in a vacation property with rental potential, Park City covers the full range. Salt Lake City International Airport is 20 to 40 minutes away with nonstop flights to New York, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, and dozens of other destinations.


2. Year-Round Outdoor Recreation in Park City


Park City offers far more than skiing. Residents enjoy over 400 miles of trails, paddleboarding on the Jordanelle, fly fishing on the Provo and Weber rivers, off-roading in Kamas, and horseback riding in Silver Creek. It is a four-season town built for active living.


3. The Small-Town Feel of Park City


Life here feels like a step back in time. Fresh air, light traffic, a kind community, and a slower pace create a true small-town atmosphere, just with better restaurants, ski lifts, and Wi-Fi. Old Town remains the center of it: historic homes and condos within walking distance of Main Street, the Town Lift, and dozens of restaurants.


If the resort buzz or the Sundance crowd ever feels like too much, consider the nearby towns surrounding Park City for more privacy and space.


4. Excellent Food


Dine at Riverhorse on Main, enjoy a cocktail at the St. Regis, or grab lunch at Vessel Kitchen in Kimball Junction. For something local, the Blue Boar Inn in Midway and Woodland Biscuit Company in Francis are worth the short drive.


5. Top Schools in Park City, Utah


Search Park City School District Homes for Sale


Park City has Utah's highest-ranked public school district, placing in the top 2 percent nationally. The University of Utah and Westminster University are 30 minutes away, and BYU is about an hour south, keeping strong education options within easy reach at every level.


6. Red Rocks and Yellowstone Are Nearby


If 400-plus miles of local trails are not enough, the red rock country of Moab is five hours away. Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Jackson Hole are under six. Direct flights from Salt Lake City also serve these destinations.


7. The Largest Ski Resort Expansion in North America


Search Ski Homes &amp; Condos For Sale in Park City


Deer Valley Resort has more than doubled in size since December 2024. The resort now covers 4,300 skiable acres served by 31 lifts, including a 10-passenger gondola connecting the new East Village to Park Peak. Hail Peak opens for the 2026-27 season, bringing the total to 4,500 acres, with roughly 5,700 acres planned at full buildout. The East Village adds a new base area off U.S. 40 anchored by the Grand Hyatt, with a Four Seasons and additional hotels under construction. It is the largest resort expansion in North American ski history, and it is happening in your backyard.


Beyond winter, Park City's resorts run summer operations that include hiking, zip lines, concerts, mountain biking, and scenic lift rides. You are also a short drive from Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, and Powder Mountain. Questions about how the expansion affects property values on the east side of Deer Valley? Call 435.200.5478.


8. What Is the Weather Like in Park City?


Park City sits between 6,400 and 9,900 feet in elevation and enjoys a mild mountain climate. Expect four true seasons, low humidity, and more sunny days than most resort towns.




229 sunny days per year


Average rainfall: 21 inches


Average snowfall: 95 inches


July highs: around 84°F


January lows: around 13°F




9. Golfing in the Mountains of Utah


Search Park City Golf Properties


Championship courses anchor Glenwild, Victory Ranch, Red Ledges, Tuhaye, and Promontory, with additional options in Park Meadows, Thaynes Canyon, and Midway. Some ski condos even sit walking distance from a fairway in summer.


10. Ski-In/Ski-Out on Your Lunch Break


Remote workers can ski midday and be back online for afternoon meetings. Ski-in/ski-out properties in Deer Valley and The Colony make that a normal part of the week, not a vacation exception.


11. Location, Location, Location


Park City is 35 to 45 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, which makes quick trips to Los Angeles, New York, or Dallas easy. For many of my clients, this proximity means using a second home roughly 60 percent more often than they would in a more remote resort market. Neighborhoods like Jeremy Ranch and Pinebrook sit on the airport side of town and shave another ten minutes off the drive, which matters to frequent flyers.


12. Lower Taxes in Utah


Utah is tax-friendly for individuals and businesses. The state income tax is a flat 4.45 percent as of 2026, the sixth consecutive annual rate cut, and qualifying retirees pay no state tax on Social Security income. Property taxes on a primary residence assessed at approximately $1.2 million run around $5,400 annually. Learn more about Park City property taxes, or call 435.200.5478 to discuss how primary and secondary residence tax treatment differs in Summit and Wasatch counties.


13. The 2034 Winter Olympics


Salt Lake City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and will host again in 2034. Deer Valley and the Utah Olympic Park, both 2002 competition sites, are planned venues once again. For homeowners, that means continued infrastructure investment, global exposure, and long-term support for Park City's winter sports economy over the next decade.


14. Park City Is Safe


Park City feels secure. It is the kind of place where people leave keys in their cars and sleep with the windows open.


A quick story: I once left my SUV unlocked all day in Deer Valley with $4,000 in photography gear and a laptop inside. When I returned, nothing had been touched.


15. Health and Wellness


From yoga studios and athletic clubs to clean eating and spa services, Park City supports a wellness-first lifestyle. The Velvaere wellness community in Empire Pass shows where the market is heading.


16. Quality Real Estate


Park City offers a diverse mix of real estate, from mountain cabins to luxury ski-in/ski-out homes and new construction in Deer Valley. Whether you are searching by lifestyle, size, or location, the market delivers long-term value across a wide range of price points.

Park City is a luxury market, but low property taxes, a flat 4.45 percent state income tax, and no state tax on Social Security income for qualifying retirees offset the cost of living. Real estate ranges from ski condos to high-end estates, so a wide range of buyers can find a fit.

        <title>RealEstateInParkCity.com vs. Zillow: Park City Home Search</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Most Park City buyers start on Zillow. That is reasonable. It is the largest real estate website in the country and it covers every market in the United States. But national coverage and local depth are different products, and the difference shows up quickly in a resort market where a ski easement, a club membership, or a nightly rental permit can change a property's value by seven figures.


Here is a direct comparison of what each site does, and where ours is built differently on purpose.




The five things that matter




Listing data here comes from a direct IDX feed off the local MLS rather than a national aggregation layer.


Alerts arrive by email at an interval you set: immediately, once a day, once a week, or once a month. No app, no push notifications.


You can filter by ski easement type, which no national portal supports.


Golf membership status and nightly rental eligibility are tracked here and are not fields Zillow carries.


Zillow publishes a 1.9 national median error rate on listed homes and 7.0 on unlisted ones. On a $5M Park City property, 7 is $350,000.

You decide how often you hear from us


This is the change most buyers notice first. A national app is designed to pull you back into the app, so the default setting is a push notification the moment anything moves. For someone tracking a $6M ski property, that means a phone that goes off for price changes on listings they already ruled out.


We send email, and you choose the interval when you set up the search. Four options:






Immediately


For buyers in an active search where inventory is thin and the right listing will move in days.






Once a day


One morning email with everything new or changed. The setting most buyers land on.






Once a week


For buyers eighteen months out who want to learn pricing without daily traffic.






Once a month


For owners and long-range planners watching one community's values over time.






You can change the interval at any time, and you can run different intervals on different searches. Immediate alerts on Empire Pass, monthly on Promontory, if that is how your search is structured. No app is required.




Pick your interval and we will build the search


Send us the communities and price range you are watching and tell us how often you want to hear from us. We will set it up on our end, which takes about a minute and skips the account setup entirely.

Set up my search Call 435.200.5478


Filters built for how people actually buy here


A national search form asks for bedrooms, bathrooms, and price. Those fields work in most of the country. In Park City they leave out the three variables that drive value the most.






Ski access, by easement type


&quot;Ski-in/ski-out&quot; is used loosely in listing remarks. The MLS records the actual access classification, and our map search filters on it: ski easement access, ski out of door, ski into project, ski out of project. Those are four different ownership experiences at four different price points.

Search Park City ski properties




Golf membership, attached or not


At Promontory, golf memberships are sold out with a waitlist, so a home carrying an attached membership is worth materially more than an identical home without one. Membership deposits across the private clubs currently run from roughly $200,000 to $325,000. No national portal tracks this field.

Compare Park City golf communities




Nightly rental eligibility


Short-term rental rights in the Park City area depend on the municipality, the zoning overlay, and the HOA, and two buildings across the street from each other can land on opposite sides of it. We track eligibility by community rather than leaving you to read CC&amp;Rs after you are already under contract.

See Park City investment properties




Community pages written by someone who sells in them


A national site generates area pages from data it already has: median price, average days on market, and third-party school ratings. The output is accurate and shallow.


Our neighborhood pages cover 28 communities across Park City, the Jordanelle corridor, and the Heber Valley, and they answer the questions that come up in a real showing. Which side of Deer Valley gets afternoon sun? What the transfer fee structure looks like at each private club. Why do two Promontory lots a quarter mile apart trade at different multiples? Where does the Deer Valley Expansion construction actually stand?


The comparison pieces go further than a listing description can. Our Promontory versus Tuhaye versus Victory Ranch comparison lays out the tradeoffs among the three clubs without picking a winner, because the right answer depends on how often you plan to be here.

What an automated value estimate can and cannot do


Zillow publishes its own accuracy figures, which is to its credit. As of its current reporting, the national median error rate on the Zestimate is:






1.9


median error, homes currently on the market






7.0


median error, homes not currently on the market






Two things about those numbers. First, they are national medians, and they are carried by markets with many similar homes and abundant recent sales. An automated model performs well when it has fifty comparable transactions on the same street. Second, a 7.0 median error means half of the off-market estimates miss by more than that. On a $5M Park City home, 7 is $350,000, and the properties with the fewest comparable sales are the custom homes, the ski-access parcels, and the membership-attached lots, which is to say most of what trades at the top of this market.


An algorithm cannot read a plat map, price a club membership that is not publicly listed, or account for the fact that the last two sales in a subdivision closed off-market. That gap is the reason valuation here still requires someone who has been inside the comparable properties.


Who answers when you ask about a listing


This one surprises people. When you submit a question on a Zillow listing, the agent who responds is generally not the listing agent. Zillow sells advertising placement to agents by geography, and inquiries route to whoever purchased that placement. Zillow discloses this, but the interface does not make it obvious in the moment. The person answering your question about a Deer Valley condo may have never been in the building.


On this site, inquiries come to Derrik Carlson or a named agent on the team. Every one of us works in this market only.


Where Zillow is the better tool


A comparison is less useful if it only runs in one direction, so Zillow is better than we are on a national scale. If you are simultaneously watching Park City, Jackson, and Sun Valley, one app covering all three is more practical than three local sites. Its mobile app is more polished than any brokerage site, including ours. Its rental and mortgage tools are further developed. And the price history, aggregated across markets, is useful context.


Most of our clients use both. Zillow is for browsing at the top of the search; this site is for when the search narrows to specific communities and criteria. That is a reasonable way to run it.


Setting up your search


Create a saved search on any search page and pick your interval, or send us the criteria and we will build it and set the schedule for you. That second option is usually faster because the useful filters are the ones a form cannot ask about: membership status, easement type, rental eligibility, HOA structure.




Tell us what you are looking for


Send the parameters and how often you want to hear from us. Immediately, daily, weekly, or monthly. We will also flag the upcoming and off-market properties that never reach a public search.

Common questions


Are the listings on this site the same ones on Zillow?


Largely, yes. Both draw from MLS data. The differences show up in status timing, in how listings are categorized, and in what you can filter on. This site pulls its IDX feed directly from the local MLS rather than through a national aggregation layer.


Do I have to create an account to search?


No. You can search without registering. An account is only needed to save searches and receive alerts, and you can also skip the account entirely by sending us your criteria and having us set the alerts up.


Will I get calls if I set up a saved search?


No. Saved searches deliver by email at the interval you choose. If you want a conversation, you tell us.


Can I search specifically for homes that come with a golf membership?


Membership-attached properties are identified separately on the club community pages rather than through a public filter, because membership status is not a standardized MLS field. Ask us and we will pull the current list for any club.


How accurate is the Zestimate on Park City homes?


Zillow reports a 1.9 national median error rate for homes on the market and 7.0 for homes that are not. Those are national figures. Resort markets with limited comparable sales, custom construction, and off-market activity are the conditions under which automated models perform worst, so treat a Zestimate here as a starting reference rather than a valuation.


Which site gets new Park City listings first?


Both sites receive listings from the same MLS. A direct IDX feed has fewer handoffs than a national aggregation layer, and status changes such as pending or back on market tend to surface sooner. The larger gap is upcoming and off-market properties, which reach neither site and come through agent networks instead.

        <title>Derrik Carlson: 3-Time KW Park City Agent of the Month</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Being named Agent of the Month once is a nice moment. Being named three times in the same year does something different. It makes you stop and look back at how you actually got there.


KW Park City Keller Williams Real Estate named me Agent of the Month for April 2026, and then again for June and July, back-to-back. I appreciate the recognition. What I keep thinking about is the list of people it really belongs to.


Every Closing Started With a Conversation


None of this started with a transaction. It started with a phone call, an email, or a conversation at a kitchen table. Someone was thinking about selling a property they had owned for fifteen years. Someone else was trying to decide whether a ski property made sense for them. Another person was relocating and did not know where to begin.


Those conversations are the real work. The closing is just the last step.


Every client this year made a decision to trust me with something significant. A home. An investment. A move. In many cases, a decision that shapes the next chapter of their life. I do not take that lightly, and I want to say clearly that I know it was a choice. There are a lot of capable agents working in Park City. Choosing to work with me was never automatic.


What the Year Looks Like on Paper


Here are the numbers, with the qualifications they deserve.


As of July 31, 2026, I have closed 20 transactions representing $69,448,000 in sales volume year to date. That figure reflects closed MLS transactions where I represented the buyer or the seller, including three where I worked alongside a colleague and shared credit. It does not include private or off-market sales, and it does not include business currently under contract.


I am also the number one Keller Williams agent in the State of Utah for 2026 year to date. That is a separate accomplishment from the monthly awards, and I mention it only because it points back to the same thing: a lot of people trusted me this year.


The numbers were the easiest part of this post to write, and they are the least interesting part to me.


The Part Nobody Sees


Behind those closings were hundreds of phone calls. Showings that ran long. Inspections that turned up real problems. Appraisals that came in low. Contracts that had to be renegotiated late at night because something changed.


Real estate looks simple from the outside. A property gets listed, someone buys it, everyone signs. The actual job is the problem-solving in between, and most clients never see the majority of it. That is on purpose. My job is to absorb that pressure so the people I work for can make clear decisions with good information.


Some of this year's closings were luxury homes in Park City and Deer Valley. Some were land in Kamas. Some were smaller properties in Heber Valley, Midway, and near the Jordanelle. The price never changes the standard. A $610,000 transaction gets the same preparation as a $13.5 million one. I have never understood agents who work any other way.


Referrals and Repeat Clients Are the Whole Business


A large share of this year came from people I had already worked with, or from people they sent my way.


That means more to me than any award. A referral is someone putting their own reputation on the line. When a past client tells a friend to call me, they are saying they would do it again. That is the only review that counts.


Several people I worked with this year started as clients and are now friends. We ski together. We run into each other around town. That is one of the better parts of doing this work in a community this size.


The People Behind the Work


My team deserves to be named. Lana Harris, Grayson West, Shelby Sisson, and Holly Carlson each carried part of this year. Everything that happens before a listing goes live and after a contract is signed is not work I do alone, and the standard we hold is shared.


Many of this year's closings were transactions I worked alongside Lana. Those belong to her as much as they do to me.


My colleagues at KW Park City Keller Williams Real Estate deserve credit as well. This is a competitive office full of agents who are very good at what they do. Being recognized inside a group like that means something, and the office is better for the level everyone brings.


The people closest to me at home carried more than their share this year. Showings on weekends, calls during dinner, travel that came up on short notice. They made the year possible


The Recognition Was Never the Goal


I appreciate being recognized. It matters to me. But an award was never the objective, and it is not what I measure.


What I measure is whether I gave good advice. Whether I protected my client's position in a negotiation. Whether I told someone not to buy a property when it was wrong for them, even when that cost me a commission. Whether the people I worked with felt informed instead of pressured.


Do those things consistently, and the results follow. Chase the results directly, and the advice gets worse.


If you want to see what the market itself did over the same period, the mid-year Park City market report covers the numbers in detail.


Thank You


To every client who trusted me in 2026, thank you. You are the reason for all three of those recognitions, and I know it.


If you are thinking about buying, selling, or looking at investment properties in Park City, Deer Valley, the Jordanelle, Heber Valley, or anywhere along the Wasatch Back, I am glad to talk. No pressure and no obligation. Just a conversation, which is where all of this starts anyway.

        <title>How Much Does Technology Matter When Listing a Park City Property?</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
More than it did in 2018, and in different places than most sellers expect. Technology does not sell a Park City property on its own. What it controls is how many qualified buyers ever see the listing, how early they see it, and how accurately they understand it before they contact anyone. Those three factors set the size of the buyer pool, and the size of the buyer pool sets the price.




The short answer: Technology decides who sees your property. Pricing, condition, and negotiation decide what they pay for it. A seller who gets the first part right and the second part wrong still leaves money on the table. Both have to work.




This post was first published in August 2018 and rewritten in August 2026. Almost everything in the original version is now obsolete, which is itself the point.


What Changed Between 2018 and 2026


In 2018 the relevant question was whether a listing agent had a website that captured buyer contact information before the portals did. That was a real advantage at the time, and it worked. A property page could pull dozens of registrations in the first days on market, and those registrations became showings.


The search layer itself has since changed. A buyer in Dallas researching Deer Valley now runs a query in Google, reads an AI-generated summary before clicking anything, asks a follow-up question in ChatGPT or Perplexity, and often arrives at a property page without ever opening a portal. Being visible in that sequence is a different technical problem than being visible on a portal, and most listing agents have not solved it because it is not a real estate problem. It is a content structure and search engineering problem.


The buyer timeline stretched as well. Most Park City buyers are not local. They research from a primary residence in another state, frequently six to eighteen months before they are ready to transact. A listing that only becomes visible the week it hits the MLS is arriving late to an audience that started looking a year ago.






17,518


Verified Park City buyer contacts in the private database






6 to 18


Months most out-of-state buyers research before transacting






2012


Year Derrik Carlson was licensed in the Park City market






Where Technology Actually Changes the Sale Price


Four places, specifically. Everything else in a marketing presentation is supporting material.






The first two weeks


A listing gets more attention in its first fourteen days than in the following three months combined. Buyers who have saved a search get an alert the moment the property goes active. If the photography, the floor plans, and the property data are not finished on day one, that attention is spent on an incomplete listing and it does not come back.






Reach past the local pool


The buyer for a $4M Deer Valley home is more likely to be in Los Angeles, New York, or Dallas than in Summit County. Reaching that person requires a pre-built audience and paid targeting by geography and behavior, not a sign in the yard and a listing feed.






Being retrievable, not just published


Search engines and AI systems cite sources they can parse with confidence. Structured data, clear headings, and specific factual language determine whether a property gets surfaced in an AI answer or skipped in favor of a competitor's page. Most listing content is written for no one in particular and gets treated accordingly.






Accuracy that survives scrutiny


Nothing costs a sale faster than a buyer learning that the listing overstated the ski access, the square footage, or the rental status. Accurate data is a technology function now: it lives in the MLS record, the property page, the syndication feed, and the AI systems reading all three.






Where Technology Does Not Help


This is the part most marketing presentations leave out, and it matters more than the part they include.


Technology cannot fix a price. An overpriced property with a large marketing budget generates traffic and no offers, and the accumulated days on market then become a negotiating weapon for the eventual buyer. Utah is a non-disclosure state, so accurate pricing depends on agent-level MLS data and judgment about what the current buyer pool will actually support. No amount of distribution substitutes for getting that number right at launch.


Technology cannot negotiate. Once offers arrive, the outcome depends on how the terms are structured, how competing interest is managed, and how deadlines are handled. Technology cannot resolve an appraisal problem, cannot manage an inspection response, and cannot decide whether a backup offer should be disclosed. Those are judgment calls made by a person who has made them before.


Technology also cannot improve the property. Deferred maintenance, dated finishes, and difficult access show up in photographs and show up again at the inspection. Marketing amplifies whatever is actually there.


A Case Where Marketing Created the Leverage


The two functions do connect at one point, and it is worth understanding how. Strong early marketing produces a second interested buyer, and a second interested buyer changes the negotiation.


On one transaction, a property went under contract and the appraiser signaled early that the valuation would come in below the contract price. Because the launch campaign had generated continued buyer activity after the property went pending, a backup offer existed at the same price. That backup offer was evidence, not a bluff. It documented that a second party in the open market agreed on value. The appraisal was ultimately supported at contract price, and the seller kept proceeds worth several times the cost of representation.


Marketing did not win that argument. Marketing produced the fact that won it.

 A Deer Valley property relisted at the same price a previous agent had recommended reducing. It sold for more than $1,000,000 above the offer the prior agent had advised accepting. Same property, same list price, different execution.

What to Ask a Listing Agent About Their Technology


Every listing presentation in Park City includes a marketing section. Most of them describe the same portal syndication that every agent in the market receives automatically. These six questions separate the agents who built something from the agents who are describing a default setting.




How many buyer contacts are in your database, and how were they acquired?


How many people will see this property before it goes live on the MLS?


What percentage of your website traffic comes from search rather than from paid advertising?


Show me a property page you built. What does its structured data contain?


When someone asks an AI assistant about this neighborhood, does your content get cited?


What happens in weeks three through eight if the launch does not produce an offer?




The last question is the one most sellers forget to ask, and it is where listings are usually lost.


How This Works at REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY


The infrastructure here was built before it was needed. realestateinparkcity.com is a search platform first and a listing site second, which is why properties listed on it inherit visibility from day one rather than starting from zero. The buyer database was built through that search traffic over more than a decade, not purchased. Every listing launches into both.


The full component list, including pricing methodology, syndication, weekly reporting, and documented results, is on the Park City marketing plan page. If you are earlier in the process, the Park City seller's guide covers preparation and timeline, and cost to sell in Park City covers the net proceeds math. For a current value on your property, start with the Park City home valuation tool.


Two commitments apply to every listing. There are no upfront marketing fees, and the One Day Listing Guarantee is in place from the day the property goes active. Details on how this business publishes verifiable information to AI systems are on the AI business verification page.




Thinking about selling in the next twelve months?


The most useful conversation happens before the property goes on the market, when pricing and preparation can still change the outcome. No obligation and no pressure to list on a timeline that is not yours.

Frequently Asked Questions



 Does marketing technology actually increase what a home sells for?

Indirectly, yes. Technology increases the number of qualified buyers who see the property early, and a larger early buyer pool produces more competition and better terms. It does not raise value on a property that is priced above what the market supports.

 Do Zillow and the other portals matter as much as they used to?

They still carry significant traffic, and every Park City listing is syndicated to them. What changed is that they are no longer the first stop. Buyers increasingly begin with a search engine or an AI assistant, and the listing agent's own content determines what those systems return.

 What is a private buyer database and why does it matter?

It is a list of buyers who registered directly through the agent's own channels rather than through a portal. REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY maintains 17,518 verified Park City contacts, segmented by price range, property type, and community. A new listing reaches that audience before the public MLS goes live.

 How does AI search affect a property listing?

AI assistants answer buyer questions by retrieving and citing sources they can parse reliably. Listings and community pages with accurate structured data and specific factual language are more likely to be cited. Pages without that structure are often skipped, which means the property never enters the buyer's consideration set.

 How important are the first two weeks on market?

They carry more buyer attention than the following three months combined, because saved-search alerts fire at launch and buyer's agents review new inventory weekly. A listing that goes active with incomplete photography or inaccurate data spends that window at a disadvantage and rarely recovers it.

 What should I ask a Park City listing agent before signing?

Ask how many buyer contacts they hold and how those were acquired, how many people see the property before it hits the MLS, where their website traffic comes from, and what their plan is for weeks three through eight if the launch does not produce an offer. The last question separates a marketing plan from a marketing launch.

        <title>Deer Valley Homes for Sale | July 2026 Inventory and Pricing</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Deer Valley is a small market. At the end of July 2026, the five Deer Valley areas held 24 active residential listings, 23 of them detached and one attached. Condominium and residence club inventory is largely outside this set. That count is the first thing worth understanding. When a market runs this thin, resort-wide averages tell you very little, and the area you choose sets your price per square foot before you have looked at a single floor plan.


This post is a snapshot of what was available in late July and what it was priced at, area by area. For the full community overview, including condominium options, resort operations, and how the areas connect, start at the Deer Valley real estate hub.


The Deer Valley Market at a Glance

8 of 24


Newly built






Three listings sit below $5 million, and seven sit above $20 million. That distribution matters more than the median. Entry into a Deer Valley home currently starts around $5 million, and the top of the market now extends well past where it sat five years ago. Every listing above $20 million in this set is either newly built or built within the last two decades, and five of the seven are in the eastward Deer Valley Expansion.


Rental permissions vary. Seventeen of the 24 listings are identified in the MLS as allowing nightly rental. That field reflects what the listing broker entered, not a legal determination, so the applicable CC&amp;Rs, municipal rules, and property-specific restrictions should be confirmed on any property you pursue.


Time on market is uneven. The median is 49 days, but several listings have been available for more than six months. In a market this small, a long marketing period can point to pricing posture, condition, or an access limitation, and it is worth understanding the cause on any property that has been sitting.


Lower Deer Valley: Where the Market Starts


Lower Deer Valley holds seven of the 24 active listings, priced from roughly $4.9 million to $8.0 million with a median near $5.5 million. Median price per square foot runs about $906, the lowest in the resort area by a wide margin. Homes here average around 6,300 square feet on lots near a third of an acre, with most construction dating to the early and mid 2000s.


This is the practical end of the Deer Valley market. Buyers get proximity to Main Street and the Snow Park base, and on a price-per-square-foot basis, they pay roughly 40 percent less than in Deer Crest. Median time on market here is the longest in the resort at about 126 days. That longer marketing period may create negotiating opportunities on properties where pricing, condition, or access has limited buyer activity, though it should be evaluated property by property. Review current options on the Lower Deer Valley homes page.


Upper Deer Valley: Elevation and Silver Lake Access


Upper Deer Valley is the thinnest established segment, with four active listings running from about $5.9 million to $22 million and a median near $9.7 million. Median price per square foot sits around $1,528. The housing stock is split: several homes built in the late 1980s and 1990s alongside recent construction, which is why the price per square foot range here is the widest of any Deer Valley area, roughly $1,214 to $2,302.


Buyers focused on this area are usually prioritizing elevation, Silver Lake dining, and shorter ski access. Listings here also carry the shortest median time on market in the resort area at about 32 days, though with only four properties in the segment that figure moves easily. If you are searching this segment, see the Upper Deer Valley homes page.


Deer Crest: Scale and Privacy


Deer Crest carries seven active listings, from roughly $8.9 million to $25 million, with a median near $15.5 million and a median price per square foot around $1,550. This is where the large homes are. Median size is about 10,000 square feet on lots averaging three-quarters of an acre, roughly double the typical Lower Deer Valley parcel.


All seven active Deer Crest listings in the current MLS set are identified as allowing nightly rental, which separates this area from the newer eastern communities, though buyers should still verify the CC&amp;Rs and any property-specific restrictions. Median time on market is about 143 days, which is consistent with the smaller buyer pool at this price level. Browse the area on the Deer Crest homes for sale page.


Empire Pass: Very Little Detached Inventory


Empire Pass shows a single active detached listing in this set, priced at $21.5 million, or roughly $2,930 per square foot, the highest figure in the resort area. One listing is not a pricing trend. It is a supply observation. Empire Pass was developed primarily as attached residences and residence clubs, so detached inventory there is limited by design and rarely comes to market.


If Empire Pass is your target, the practical search usually includes condominium and townhome product alongside the occasional detached home. Start with the Empire Pass homes page.


The Deer Valley Expansion: Marcella and Velvaere


The eastward Deer Valley Expansion accounts for five active listings, all built or completing between 2025 and 2027. Prices run from about $7.6 million to $27.9 million, and this segment holds the highest median list price in the resort area at roughly $22.5 million. Median price per square foot is near $2,640, above every established neighborhood except the lone Empire Pass listing.


Two points separate this segment from the rest of Deer Valley. First, every listing is new construction, so buyers are comparing finish packages and completion timelines rather than renovation history. Second, the rental fields differ. In the current set, the four Marcella listings are not identified as allowing nightly rental while the Velvaere listing is. If short-term rental income is part of your plan, confirm the governing documents and the current association policy on the specific property before you write an offer.






Marcella at Deer Valley


Detached homes at the upper end of the Expansion, currently listed from roughly $21 million to $27.9 million with completions running through 2027.

View Marcella at Deer Valley




Velvaere


A wellness-oriented community where the single active listing is the attached residence in this set, near $7.6 million and the lowest entry point in the Expansion.

View Velvaere




What These Numbers Do Not Tell You


Price per square foot is a starting filter, not a conclusion. Two Deer Valley homes at the same figure can differ sharply on the points that determine daily use and resale: the actual ski route from the door, winter road maintenance, snow storage, driveway grade and orientation, association coverage and reserve history, and whether the rental permission attached to the property is written into the governing documents or merely customary.


Those are the items I verify before a client commits. If you want the process side rather than the numbers, the Deer Valley home buying guide walks through what to confirm and how ski access claims should be tested.


Where to Search From Here


For the complete picture of the community, including condominiums, resort operations, and how the areas connect, use the Deer Valley real estate hub. For live home inventory only, go to Deer Valley homes for sale.


Figures reflect 24 active residential listings across the Deer Valley areas from a Park City Board of Realtors MLS export pulled in late July 2026, 23 detached and one attached. Condominium and residence club inventory is largely outside this set. All figures are area-level counts, ranges, and medians. Inventory and pricing change weekly, and individual property details should be verified independently.




Talk Through Your Options


If you are weighing one Deer Valley area against another, I can explain how current inventory, recent closed sales, ski access, rental rules, and new construction may affect a property's long-term position within the Deer Valley market. I also track properties that are available quietly and never reach the public market.

        <title>Most Affordable Neighborhoods in Park City, Utah | 2026 Guide</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[

The most affordable neighborhoods in Park City are Summit Park, Silver Creek, Trailside, Pinebrook, Silver Springs, and Jeremy Ranch. With a market-wide median near $2.8 million for single-family homes, &quot;affordable&quot; here means medians between roughly $1 million and $2.1 million.


All six sit within 10 to 15 minutes of both ski resorts, and they are where most full-time residents actually live. This guide covers what each costs, what you get, and how to decide. For every community including ski and golf neighborhoods, see the Park City neighborhoods page.

Frequently Asked Questions





What &quot;Affordable&quot; Means in Park City


Park City single-family homes closed between approximately $663,000 and $26.6 million over the past year. The neighborhoods on this page occupy the lower half of that range.


They share a common profile: no resort premium in the price, no mandatory club membership, lower HOA costs, and quick I-80 access for Salt Lake City commuters. You give up ski-in/ski-out access and gated amenities. You keep the mountain setting, the trails, and in most cases the Park City School District.


The Six Neighborhoods at a Glance






Summit Park


Median: ~$1.2M · Park City School District


Lowest single-family entry point in the Park City School District. Wooded lots, no HOA, shortest drive to Salt Lake City.






Silver Creek


Median: ~$1M (south) to $2.5M (estates)


Acreage and horse property at the lowest price per acre near Park City. Two distinct segments.






Trailside


Median: ~$1.6M · Park City School District


Established streets connected directly to the trail network, minutes from Kimball Junction services.






Pinebrook


Median: ~$1.9M · Park City School District


Hillside homes on the I-80 corridor with one of the best private trail systems in the area.






Silver Springs


Most sales near $2M · Park City School District


Flat, walkable streets, two ponds, and a central position between Kimball Junction and the resorts.






Jeremy Ranch


Median: ~$2.1M · Park City School District


Larger lots, a private 18-hole golf course, and the most active resale market of the six.






Summit Park: The Lowest Entry Point


Summit Park posted a median single-family price of roughly $1.2 million on 34 sales in 2025, the lowest detached-home median in the Park City School District. The neighborhood climbs a forested hillside at the top of Parleys Canyon, which means wooded lots and the shortest commute to Salt Lake City of any Park City address.


There is no HOA and no managed infrastructure. Homes range from original 1970s cabins to fully rebuilt contemporary properties, which is why sales span from the mid $600s to over $3 million. Current listings are on the Summit Park page.


Best for: school district access at the lowest price, SLC commuters. Trade-off: steep roads, older housing stock, no amenities.


Silver Creek: The Most Land for the Money


Silver Creek is where buyers find acreage without leaving Summit County. Silver Creek South carried a median near $1.0 million in 2025, the lowest single-family median in the Basin. The estate section to the north trades closer to $2.5 million, driven by parcel size, horse facilities, and Uinta views.


Roads are a mix of paved and gravel, and services are limited. That is exactly the appeal for buyers who want space and animals within 15 minutes of Kimball Junction.


Best for: acreage, horses, privacy. Trade-off: South Summit School District, limited services, gravel roads in places.


Trailside: Trails and Practicality


Trailside recorded a median of roughly $1.6 million on 20 sales in 2025. The neighborhood is built around direct trail connectivity, a well-used park, and a practical location off Highway 40 minutes from Kimball Junction.


Housing runs from townhomes to mid-size single-family homes, most built from the 1990s forward. For buyers who want the school district below typical Basin pricing, Trailside is usually on the shortlist.


Best for: trail access, newer housing stock at a mid-range price. Trade-off: smaller lots than Jeremy Ranch or Silver Creek.


Pinebrook: Hillside Homes on the I-80 Corridor


Pinebrook posted a single-family median near $1.9 million on 25 sales in 2025, with condos and townhomes trading well below that. The neighborhood steps up a forested hillside just inside the Summit County line, and its private trail system supports hiking and mountain biking from your own driveway.


Salt Lake City commuters concentrate here and in Jeremy Ranch because I-80 access is immediate. Elevation and slope vary street by street, which affects snow removal and views, so touring in person matters more here than in flatter neighborhoods.


Best for: commuters, trail users, buyers who want trees. Trade-off: hillside driveways and winter snow logistics on upper streets.


Silver Springs: Flat, Central, and Walkable


Silver Springs sits on the valley floor between Kimball Junction and the resort bases, with most single-family sales landing near $2 million. It is one of the few Park City neighborhoods with genuinely flat, walkable streets, plus two ponds and a strong concentration of full-time residents.


The location splits the difference: roughly 10 minutes to either resort, five minutes to groceries, and direct access to the rail trail. That combination is not replicated elsewhere in the market, which is why homes here hold value.


Best for: flat lots, walkability, central location. Trade-off: higher price than Summit Park or Trailside for similar square footage.


Jeremy Ranch: The Most Active Market of the Six


Jeremy Ranch logged 43 single-family closings in 2025 at a median of roughly $2.1 million, the highest volume of the six. Lots are larger than most Basin neighborhoods, and the private Jeremy Ranch Golf and Country Club runs through the community.


Elevation around 6,400 feet keeps winter road access manageable. Golf membership is optional, not required, which keeps carrying costs flexible. It is the natural step up from Pinebrook for buyers who want more land.


Best for: larger lots, optional golf, deep resale market. Trade-off: highest median of the six.


What About Condos and Townhomes?


If your budget sits below $1 million, condos and townhomes open more doors than detached homes. Kimball Junction condos carried a 2025 median near $739,000, Pinebrook condos traded in the high $800s, and smaller Canyons Village units start under $1 million.


The trade-offs are HOA fees and, in some buildings, rental restrictions, so the monthly cost picture needs a closer look than the list price alone. Current inventory is on the Park City condos page.


Looking Beyond Park City


Buyers who need a lower entry point than these neighborhoods offer, or more land than Silver Creek provides, typically look at the Heber Valley, the Kamas Valley, and the Jordanelle corridor. All three sit within 30 minutes of downtown Park City, and the full comparison is on the towns surrounding Park City page.


How to Decide


Three questions narrow the list quickly:




1. Does the Park City School District matter? If yes: Summit Park, Pinebrook, Silver Springs, Trailside, and Jeremy Ranch stay. Silver Creek drops off.


2. Do you commute to Salt Lake City? If yes: Summit Park, Pinebrook, and Jeremy Ranch offer the most efficient drives.


3. Do you want land? If yes: Silver Creek and Jeremy Ranch are the only two that deliver meaningful acreage.




Most buyers narrow from six neighborhoods to two after one conversation about budget, use, and priorities. Call (435) 200-5478 and our team can build that shortlist with you, or start with the full Park City homes for sale search.


Frequently Asked Questions


What is the most affordable neighborhood in Park City?


For detached homes, Silver Creek South carried the lowest 2025 median at roughly $1.0 million, followed by Summit Park near $1.2 million. Summit Park is the lowest entry point within the Park City School District.


Can you still buy a home in Park City for under $1 million?


Detached homes under $1 million are rare and typically involve age, condition, or location trade-offs. Condos and townhomes under $1 million remain available in Kimball Junction, Pinebrook, Prospector, and parts of Canyons Village.


Which affordable Park City neighborhoods are in the Park City School District?


Summit Park, Pinebrook, Silver Springs, Trailside, and Jeremy Ranch. Silver Creek is served by the South Summit School District, which surprises many buyers comparing it against neighboring Basin communities.


Is Silver Creek part of Park City?


Silver Creek sits in unincorporated Summit County with a Park City mailing address, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Kimball Junction. It is part of the greater Park City market but outside city limits.


How do Pinebrook and Jeremy Ranch compare?


Both sit on the I-80 corridor. Pinebrook posted a 2025 median near $1.9 million with hillside lots and a private trail system. Jeremy Ranch posted a median near $2.1 million with larger lots, an optional private golf club, and higher sales volume.


Should I consider Heber City or Kamas instead?


If budget or land requirements exceed what these six neighborhoods deliver, the Heber Valley offers the lowest entry prices in the region and the Kamas Valley offers the largest parcels. Both are covered on the towns surrounding Park City page.

Frequently Asked Questions





Ski-In/Ski-Out Market Snapshot: July 2025 to July 2026


True ski-in/ski-out property is the most supply-constrained segment of Park City real estate. Five communities define the top of this market: Deer Crest, Nakoma, The Colony at White Pine Canyon, Bald Eagle Club, and Marcella. Each offers direct slope access at Deer Valley Resort or Park City Mountain, and each behaves differently as an investment.


Over the trailing twelve months, fifteen sales closed across these five communities, ranging from $9.2 million to $25.3 million. Inventory remains thin in the established gated enclaves, while Marcella and the broader Deer Valley Expansion account for most of the pre-construction activity now under contract.


My clients are typically executives, founders, and finance professionals buying from out of state. They want direct slope access, privacy, and an asset that holds value. The sections below cover what each community offers and what the current numbers look like. For available inventory, see our ski-in/ski-out properties for sale or call 435-200-5478.


Deer Crest: Gated Estates Above the Jordanelle





The Setting


Deer Crest is a gated community on the east flank of Deer Valley Resort, with private runs connecting homes to the lift network and views across the Jordanelle Reservoir. The St. Regis Deer Valley anchors the neighborhood, and Main Street is a short drive away. Summer brings a quiet trail network through the hillside above the reservoir.


Current Market


Three Deer Crest sales closed between September 2025 and March 2026, from $12.5 million to $16.55 million. Eight listings are currently active: estate homes in Deer Crest Estates priced from $12.4 million to $16.9 million, plus condominiums at The Havens at Deer Crest starting near $4.6 million for buyers who want the gate and the ski access at a lower entry point.


Visit the Deer Crest real estate page or schedule a private tour.


Nakoma: A Boutique Enclave in Empire Pass





The Setting


Nakoma is a small collection of contemporary homes in Empire Pass, high on the mountain at Deer Valley. Homes step directly onto the slopes, and owners have access to Talisker Club membership, which adds golf at Tuhaye and private club amenities in town. The scale is intimate by design, and listings surface infrequently.


Current Market


Two Nakoma homes sold in the second half of 2025, at $13 million and $14.4 million. One listing is currently active at $11.99 million. With only a handful of residences in the community, pricing is driven by scarcity rather than volume.


View Nakoma real estate listings or contact us for a private consultation.


The Colony at White Pine Canyon: Acreage With Direct Lift Access





The Setting


The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in/ski-out community in North America, set within the Canyons Village side of Park City Mountain. Estates sit on parcels measured in acres, with private trails connecting directly to the lift network. The result is a level of privacy no other ski community in Park City matches, with the terrain of the largest resort in the United States out the back door. Summer converts the same land into a private trail system for hiking and biking.


Current Market


The Colony was the most active of the five communities this cycle: eight sales closed between September 2025 and May 2026, ranging from $9.5 million to $25.3 million with a median of $15.4 million. Sixteen listings are currently active, priced from $8.95 million on 10 acres to $55 million, with most inventory between $12 million and $30 million on parcels of four to ten acres.


View Colony homes for sale and request current market data.


Bald Eagle Club: Established Deer Valley Prestige





The Setting


Bald Eagle Club is a gated community of roughly 126 acres inside Deer Valley Resort, with more than half preserved as open space. Homes sit on half-acre to 1.2-acre lots with ski access from seven runs and three chairlifts, and Silver Lake Village's restaurants and shops are within walking distance. It is one of the original addresses of Deer Valley luxury, and resale opportunities are rare.


Current Market


One Bald Eagle Club sale closed in the trailing twelve months, at $9.2 million in June 2026, and one additional listing is under contract. No listings are currently active. Buyers targeting this community should plan for patience and be positioned to move when a home comes to market, which is where off-market awareness matters.


Explore Bald Eagle Club listings or schedule a private tour.


Marcella: New Construction in the Deer Valley Expansion





The Setting


Marcella is the flagship residential community of the Deer Valley Expansion, above the Jordanelle Reservoir. Contemporary homes and townhomes offer direct ski access to the new terrain and base area, and the Marcella Club adds a Tiger Woods-designed golf course, a Main Street lounge, and ski valet service. Community amenities include a fitness room, yoga studio, pickleball court, and clubhouse.


Current Market


Marcella is where the volume is. Of twenty-five Marcella-branded listings in the current MLS export, nineteen are under contract, most of them pre-construction. Five listings are active, priced from $10.5 million to $27.9 million, and one estate closed at $18.4 million in October 2025. Buyers who want new construction with ski access are absorbing this product quickly, and contract terms on pre-construction releases reward early, well-advised positioning.


Explore Marcella homes and request current pricing and release information.


How to Choose Between These Neighborhoods


The decision usually comes down to three variables: privacy, product age, and resort. The Colony offers the most land and the most terrain. Deer Crest and Bald Eagle Club offer established Deer Valley addresses behind a gate, with Deer Crest adding a condominium entry point. Nakoma suits buyers who want a contemporary home high on the mountain with club access. Marcella is the choice for new construction and the amenity package of the Deer Valley Expansion.


I have worked these communities since 2012 and track every listing, sale, and pre-construction release across them. If you are weighing two or three of these neighborhoods against each other, a thirty-minute call will narrow it quickly. Call 435-200-5478 or contact us to start the conversation.



Frequently Asked Questions About Park City Ski-In/Ski-Out Homes

What are the best ski-in/ski-out neighborhoods in Park City?

The top communities for 2026 are Deer Crest, Nakoma, The Colony at White Pine Canyon, Bald Eagle Club, and Marcella. Each offers direct slope access at Deer Valley Resort or Park City Mountain, with differences in lot size, product age, and amenities.

 What do ski-in/ski-out homes in these neighborhoods cost?

Over the trailing twelve months, sales across these five communities ranged from $9.2 million to $25.3 million. Active listings run from about $4.6 million for condominiums at The Havens at Deer Crest to $55 million for the largest Colony estates, with most estate inventory between $10 million and $30 million.

 Which community has the most availability right now?

The Colony at White Pine Canyon has the deepest resale inventory, with sixteen active listings. Marcella leads in new construction, though most of its current releases are already under contract. Bald Eagle Club and Nakoma each have little to no active inventory.

 How do I choose between Deer Valley and Canyons Village for a ski home?

Deer Valley offers skier-only slopes and a more polished resort experience, while the Canyons side of Park City Mountain offers larger and more varied terrain. Deer Crest, Nakoma, Bald Eagle Club, and Marcella access Deer Valley; The Colony accesses Park City Mountain.

 Are ski-in/ski-out homes in Park City a good investment?

Supply is fixed and demand from out-of-state buyers is consistent, which has supported long-term appreciation in this segment. Year-round use, including golf, trail access, and the Jordanelle Reservoir, broadens the buyer pool beyond ski season. Verify rental and use restrictions by community before purchasing.




Start With the Right Data


Deer Crest, Nakoma, The Colony, Bald Eagle Club, and Marcella represent the top tier of ski-accessible real estate in Park City, and each rewards a different kind of buyer. The common thread is scarcity: fifteen sales across five communities in a full year. When the right property surfaces, prepared buyers win. Explore current ski properties or call 435-200-5478 for guidance grounded in the actual numbers.

        <title>Deer Valley Real Estate Market Update: Midyear 2026</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 


Market analysis by Derrik Carlson, REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY


Updated July 10, 2026


Deer Valley recorded 53 closed MLS sales from January 1 through June 30, 2026. Of those, 52 included a disclosed sold price and generated more than $300.3 million in reported sales volume. The average disclosed sold price was approximately $5.78 million, and the median was $5.05 million.


The headline numbers show strength, but Deer Valley is not one uniform market. A newer full-service condominium can command a much higher price per square foot than a larger detached home. Exact ski access, view, renovation level, HOA structure, rental rules, storage, parking, and ease of ownership all affect value.

Data and Methodology






Deer Valley Real Estate at Midyear 2026


The first half of 2026 produced a broad range of transactions, from studio condominiums to large detached homes. The highest disclosed MLS sale in the report closed at $25 million. Cash remained a major part of the market, accounting for nearly 70 of the 53 closings.

15.1


New Construction


Eight first-half sales were marked as new construction in the MLS.







Midyear Takeaway


Deer Valley buyers continued to reward properties that reduced ownership friction. Strong ski access, updated interiors, useful storage, dependable parking, clear rental rules, and well-managed associations remained important. Properties with deferred maintenance or an unclear value proposition required more careful pricing.






Compare a Specific Deer Valley Property


Broad resort averages are only a starting point. A property-specific analysis should compare the same neighborhood, building type, condition, ski access, and ownership structure.

How Midyear 2026 Compares With Full-Year 2025


Deer Valley recorded 198 closed sales during full-year 2025, with more than $1.025 billion in sales volume. The average sold price was approximately $5.20 million, and the median sold price was $4.45 million.

2025 Average Sold Price


The first-half 2026 disclosed average was approximately 11.0 higher.




$4.45M


2025 Median Sold Price


The first-half 2026 disclosed median was approximately 13.5 higher.







How to read the comparison: The higher first-half 2026 average and median do not mean every Deer Valley property appreciated by the same amount. This compares a six-month period with a full calendar year, and the result is sensitive to the mix of detached homes, condominiums, new construction, and high-value closings.






June 2026 Sold Price per Square Foot



 Deer Valley's median sold price per square foot reached $1,432 in June 2026, compared with $1,092 in June 2025. Source: Park City MLS market dashboard.






What Changed


The median sold price per square foot reached $1,432 in June 2026. That was 31.2 higher than the $1,092 median reported for June 2025.




How to Interpret It


June included nine closings, with eight disclosed sold prices. A small group of premium or recently delivered properties can move the monthly median sharply. The result does not mean every Deer Valley property increased by 31.2.

June Closings


Eight had a disclosed sold price.

Reported Volume

Average Sold Price


The June average was influenced by high-value detached-home sales.

Median Sold Price


The midpoint of the disclosed June sales.







Monthly Deer Valley Closed Sales in 2026


March produced the most closings during the first half of the year. June produced the highest average sold price. May recorded only four sales, so its elevated price per square foot reflects a narrow property mix and should not be treated as a stand-alone market benchmark.

Market Pace and Negotiation in the First Half of 2026


The median Deer Valley sale went under contract 35 days after its listing-effective date, while the average was 67 days. That gap shows a divided market: many properties moved quickly, while a smaller group remained available for much longer.

11 of the 52 disclosed sales met or exceeded the original asking price.




9


Listings With a Price Reduction


Nine of the 53 listings reduced the asking price before closing.







Pricing Takeaway


Nearly half of the first-half sales found a buyer within 30 days, but only about one in five disclosed sales closed at or above the original asking price. Accurate initial positioning can create urgency, while an ambitious price can add market time and still lead to negotiation later.






Market-time calculations use the MLS listing-effective and under-contract dates. Sale-to-original-list calculations exclude the one closing with a confidential sold price.






Deer Valley Homes vs. Condos and Townhomes


Attached residences accounted for 41 of the 53 first-half sales. Detached homes accounted for 12 sales but represented approximately 40.6 of disclosed sales volume because of their substantially higher average price.





41 Sales


Condos and Townhomes


Reported volume: $178,291,770


Average sold price: $4,457,294

Median per SqFt: $1,160








Why Attached Residences Lead in Sales


Condos and townhomes can provide ski access, property management, amenities, and lock-and-leave convenience. Detached homes attract buyers seeking privacy, larger gathering spaces, garages, outdoor areas, and more control over the property.




Why Price per Square Foot Differs


A smaller new condominium with full-service amenities can sell at a much higher price per square foot than a larger detached home, even when the home has a much higher total value. Total price and ownership structure must be evaluated together.







One attached residence had a confidential sold price. Its closing is included in the count but excluded from the attached-residence volume, average, median, and price per square foot calculations.






New Construction and Recently Delivered Deer Valley Residences


Eight of the 53 first-half closings were marked as new construction in the MLS. That represented approximately 15.1 of all closings. Newer residences continue to influence Deer Valley pricing because buyers often place a premium on modern finishes, current building systems, amenities, and lower immediate maintenance needs.





8


New Construction Closings


Eight first-half MLS sales were identified as new construction.

What Buyers Should Verify


Review the developer contract, deposit schedule, completion timing, HOA budget, furnishing requirements, rental rules, parking, storage, and what is included in the purchase price.




What the MLS May Not Capture


MLS data may not include every developer closing, private transaction, or off-market sale. Current opportunities are available on the Deer Valley new construction page.







First-Half 2026 Sales by Bedroom Count


Three-bedroom properties were the most active segment, with 19 closings. Five-bedroom properties were next, with 10 closings. The number of bedrooms is only one part of the value. Building, location, ski access, condition, view, floor plan, amenities, and HOA structure can create substantial pricing differences within the same bedroom category.

What the Midyear 2026 Data Means


Turnkey Properties Receive the Broadest Interest


Buyers continue to pay premiums for residences that are easy to understand and easy to own. Updated interiors, clear ski access, useful storage, dependable parking, strong building services, and well-organized HOA information reduce uncertainty. When two comparable properties compete, the one that requires fewer assumptions usually wins the offer.


Dated Inventory Requires Accurate Remodel Math


Properties that need work can still represent an opportunity. The list price must account for current construction costs, design time, HOA approval requirements, seasonal access, and the delay before an owner can fully use the property. Buyers in this market are running that math, and pricing that ignores it tends to show up later as extended market time.


Cash Does Not Eliminate Due Diligence


Cash represented 37 of the 53 first-half closings. Even without financing, buyers still need to evaluate title, HOA documents, insurance, rental rules, inspection findings, building systems, and future capital projects. Removing the lender removes a timeline, not the underlying questions.


Monthly Price per Square Foot Can Mislead


Deer Valley's monthly mix changes quickly. A few studio condominiums, new luxury residences, or large ski homes can materially shift the average or median. The most useful analysis compares a property with direct competitors rather than the resort-wide number alone.


Resort Investment Broadens Buyer Attention


Ongoing development and the Deer Valley expansion continue to create interest across established neighborhoods and newer product. Buyers should separate resort-wide momentum from the value of a specific building, subdivision, or ownership structure.




What the Market Means for Deer Valley Buyers and Sellers





Guidance for Buyers




Confirm how the ski access actually works during the season.


Review HOA dues, reserves, insurance, assessments, and planned capital projects.


Verify rental rules before relying on any income projection.


Evaluate remodel cost, timing, and building approval requirements.


Compare properties within the same neighborhood, building type, condition, and access level.


Review parking, storage, arrival flow, and property management as part of the ownership experience.






Guidance for Sellers




Prepare HOA documents, rental information, improvement history, and utility costs before launch.


Resolve small maintenance items that can make a property feel less cared for.


Use direct competitive sales rather than broad Deer Valley averages.


Explain ski access, building services, storage, parking, and owner use clearly.


Price renovation needs to be realistic so buyers do not add an excessive uncertainty discount.


Position the property around the ownership experience, not only square footage and bedroom count.

Data and Methodology





Report Scope


This report covers MLS closed sales in the Deer Valley Resort market area with sold dates from January 1 through June 30, 2026. The source export contained 55 rows, including two July closings. Those July transactions were excluded from every first-half calculation.




How the Calculations Were Built


Property categories are based on the MLS book section. Condominiums and townhomes are grouped as attached residences for the homes-versus-condos comparison. Price per square foot was calculated using reported total square footage. One first-half closing had a confidential sold price and was excluded from dollar-based calculations.




Data Limitations


Developer sales, private sales, and other off-market transactions may not be included. Market data was supplied by or pulled from the Park City MLS and is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyers and sellers should verify information that is material to their decisions.

About this report. Prepared by Derrik Carlson, Resort Real Estate Advisor and team lead of REAL ESTATE IN PARK CITY, Luxury Division of KW Park City Keller Williams Real Estate. This report covers closed residential sales inside Park City Limits and the Snyderville Basin only. It does not include Heber City, Midway, or other surrounding Wasatch County markets that can distort the read on the Park City market itself.

Park City Real Estate Market Overview


Through June 30, 2026, Park City and the Snyderville Basin closed 410 residential transactions totaling $1,326,906,773. The first half of the year was nearly balanced by transaction count, with 209 single-family closings and 201 condo and townhome closings, but single-family homes produced more than twice the attached-segment dollar volume.


The headline is not that the entire market moved in one direction. It is that the market became more segmented. Single-family homes posted a first-half median sale price of $3,160,000, a median $788 per square foot, and a median sale-to-list ratio of 97.4. Condos and townhomes posted a $1,300,000 median sale price, a higher median price per square foot at $960, and a lower median sale-to-list ratio of 96.8.


Luxury activity remains the defining story of 2026. The first half produced 14 sales at $10 million or higher and 73 sales at $5 million or higher. The ultra-luxury closings were concentrated in The Colony at White Pine Canyon, Promontory, Deer Valley, Empire Pass, Park Meadows, and Glenwild. At this level, buyers are still acting when the property is special, the setting is difficult to replace, and the pricing matches the market.


This report tracks closed transaction data from the Park City Board of Realtors and Domus Analytics, organized by month, property segment, and neighborhood. The focus remains strictly on Park City Limits and the Snyderville Basin, which produces cleaner, more actionable data than reports that blend in surrounding Wasatch County markets.




How This Report Is Built


This report is based on closed residential sales data from the Park City Board of Realtors and Domus Analytics. It covers Park City Limits and the Snyderville Basin only, excluding Heber City, Midway, and other surrounding markets that can distort the local read. The current update uses closed sales from January 1 through June 30, 2026.


The data below is useful for market direction, segment comparison, and neighborhood-level strategy. It should not replace a property-specific pricing analysis, because Park City values can change meaningfully by street, view corridor, ski access, rental rules, age, condition, HOA structure, and club membership requirements.




2026 Mid-Year Executive Summary




First-half volume exceeded $1.326 billion. Park City Limits and the Snyderville Basin produced 410 residential closings totaling $1,326,906,773 from January through June 2026.


Single-family homes carried the dollar volume. The single-family segment produced 209 closings totaling $894,682,383, with a median sale price of $3,160,000, a median $788 per square foot, and 12 closings above $10 million.


Condos and townhomes remained active but more selective. The condo and townhome segment produced 201 closings totaling $432,224,390, with a median sale price of $1,300,000, a median $960 per square foot, and a median sale-to-list ratio of 96.8.


Q2 matched Q1 in total volume despite a different mix. Q1 produced 197 closings totaling $669,236,941. Q2 produced 213 closings totaling $657,669,832. Q2 had more transactions, but Q1 had slightly higher volume because of several large March closings.


Fourteen ultra-luxury closings cleared the market. Sales at $10 million and above totaled $236,760,000. Twelve were single-family homes and two were condos.


The market rewards correct pricing. The first-half median sale-to-list ratio was 97.4 for single-family homes and 96.8 for condos and townhomes. The best-positioned homes still traded quickly. Overpriced listings required time, negotiation, or both.


Neighborhood matters more than the headline average. Promontory, Deer Valley, The Colony, Glenwild, Park Meadows, Old Town, and Canyons Village all behaved differently. A general Park City average is useful context, but pricing strategy has to be built around the exact community and property type. In Deer Valley, start with the current Deer Valley homes for sale to see how pricing shifts from Lower Deer Valley to Empire Pass.

Park City Median Home Price: Mid-2026


Through June 30, 2026, the median single-family sale price in Park City and the Snyderville Basin was $3,160,000, up 11.9 percent from the 2025 full-year median of $2,825,000. The median condo and townhome sale price was $1,300,000, down 7.0 percent from the 2025 full-year median of $1,397,500. The two segments are moving in different directions, which is why a single blended Park City median is rarely useful for pricing decisions.

Monthly medians moved in a wide band during the first half. Single-family monthly medians ranged from $2,631,250 in May to $3,750,000 in March. Condo and townhome monthly medians ranged from $1,132,500 in May to $1,575,000 in January. That spread reflects the mix of what closed each month more than a change in underlying values, which is why the six-month figures above are the better reference point for pricing strategy.


The single-family increase is consistent with limited detached supply and heavy activity above $5 million, including 53 single-family closings at that level in the first half. The condo decline is not a signal that every building lost value. It reflects expanded selection, more transaction weight below the top ski-access tier, and buyers negotiating harder outside premium locations.


Park City Average Home Price and Price Per Square Foot


The first-half average single-family sale price was $4,343,118, well above the $3,160,000 median. The gap comes from the top of the market: 12 single-family closings above $10 million, including three at $25 million or more, pull the average upward. The condo and townhome average was $2,171,982 against a $1,300,000 median, with branded-residence closings such as a $17.8 million St. Regis sale and a $13.75 million Stein Eriksen Residences sale creating the same effect. In a market with this much luxury weight, the median is the more reliable measure of what a typical property sold for. The average is better read as a measure of how active the top of the market is.

The single-family figures require careful reading. The median sale price rose 11.9 percent while the median price per square foot eased 3.2 percent to $788. Together, those two facts point to a mix shift, not a value decline: buyers closed on larger homes in the first half, which raises the price median while spreading the cost across more square footage. On a quarterly basis, the combined-market median price per square foot was $883 in Q1 and $872 in Q2, a narrow range that supports the same conclusion.


Condos and townhomes posted a higher median price per square foot than single-family homes, $960 against $788, even though the segment's median sale price is far lower. That is a structural feature of the Park City market. Many condo sales are smaller, resort-oriented units in premium locations near ski access and Main Street, where land value and location are concentrated into less square footage. The 5.2 percent decline from 2025 aligns with the segment's expanded inventory and the softer 96.8 percent median sale-to-list ratio: outside the strongest buildings, buyers had more leverage on price.


The practical application is the same for both metrics. Price per square foot is a useful screening tool for comparing similar properties within one community or one building, but it breaks down when applied across neighborhoods. A $788 basin-wide single-family median tells you very little about what a Colony estate, a Park Meadows home on a large lot, or a new-construction property near Canyons Village should command. Comparable closings within the specific submarket remain the correct basis for pricing.


Park City Real Estate Trends Since 2020


Six years of market data show a market that has moved through several phases: a demand surge from 2020 to 2022, a rate-driven slowdown in 2022 and 2023, a rebalancing period through 2024 and 2025, and now a 2026 market where execution at the property level matters more than broad market direction.




Limited supply continues to support single-family values. Park City's development constraints, geography, and scarcity of core neighborhood inventory make the detached market difficult to replace.


The luxury market remains highly functional. The first half of 2026 produced 14 closings above $10 million and 73 closings above $5 million, confirming continued depth at the top when the property is compelling.


Condos require more precise analysis. The condo and townhome segment had nearly the same number of transactions as single-family homes, but lower dollar volume and a slightly lower sale-to-list ratio. Ski-access, resort-branded, and well-located product still performs differently than more ordinary inventory.


Price per square foot remains useful, but not universal. H1 median sold price per square foot was $788 for single-family homes and $960 for condos and townhomes. The condo and townhome segment has a higher median because many sales are smaller, resort-oriented units in premium locations.


Days on market does not tell the whole story. H1 median DOM was 27 days for single-family homes and 39 days for condos and townhomes, but the ultra-luxury range ran from immediate closings to extended negotiations.

In 2025, Park City real estate shifted into a disciplined, data-driven environment. Transaction volume remained strong, with 513 single-family homes and 512 condos and townhomes closing across Park City and the Snyderville Basin. Pricing stabilized after several years of rapid movement, and market efficiency improved: median days on market for single-family homes dropped to 35, sellers captured 97.3 percent of list, and price per square foot rose 13.8 percent to $814, confirming buyers were paying for quality and location rather than size alone.


In the condo segment, median pricing rose 18.5 percent to $1,397,500, but new listings expanded to 812 units, creating more selection and placing greater pressure on pricing accuracy outside top locations. By the end of 2025, interest rates had begun to ease, yet values did not meaningfully decline and supply did not expand in a way that disrupted pricing. Utah continues to see steady business and population growth, and Park City remains one of the most accessible destination ski markets in North America through Salt Lake City International Airport. These fundamentals continue to support demand.

What 2025 Established Going Into 2026


The market now rewards pricing accuracy, not optimism. Homes positioned correctly relative to recent comparable sales continue to attract qualified buyers. Properties priced on expectation rather than data take longer to sell and require more frequent adjustments. Premium product, specifically newer construction, ski-access homes, and properties in core locations, still moves. Average product competes harder and closes at larger discounts to list.




Single-family homes remain supported by limited supply.


Condos offer more selection and negotiation leverage in most submarkets.


Success in 2026 is determined by neighborhood, product quality, and pricing accuracy, not overall market conditions.

First Half of 2026 Ultra-Luxury Closings at $10 Million and Above


14 closings at $10 million or higher cleared the Park City and Snyderville Basin market during the first half of 2026, producing a combined $236,760,000 in volume.


Where the top of the market closed


The first-half ultra-luxury closings were concentrated in The Colony at White Pine Canyon, Promontory, Deer Valley, Empire Pass, Park Meadows, and Glenwild. That concentration reinforces a consistent Park City pattern: the highest-end buyers follow scarcity, ski access, acreage, privacy, golf and club infrastructure, architecture, and views.


What the days-on-market range tells you


Days on market across the $10 million-plus closings ranged from immediate closings to extended marketing periods. The common thread was not speed. It was fit. When a seller's list price matched the market, the property could move quickly. When the price reached above what buyers would support, the sale required time and negotiation.

Park City Neighborhood Market Insights


Market conditions across Park City and the Snyderville Basin are not uniform. The first half of 2026 data shows clear separation by ski access, private-club amenities, lot size, condition, and proximity to resort infrastructure. A market-wide average is useful background, but it is not enough to price a specific property or write a strong offer.


Neighborhood note: These community totals are not meant to be added together. Some areas overlap, especially Deer Valley, Empire Pass, Canyons Village, and The Colony. They are included to show where activity was concentrated, not to create a second market total.


Promontory


Promontory remained one of the highest-volume luxury communities in the first half of 2026, with 40 closings totaling $254,299,074, with a median sale price of $5,650,000 and a high closing of $25,000,000. The community produced 3 closings above $10 million and 23 closings above $5 million, led by a $25 million Pinnacle at Promontory sale. View current listings at the Promontory real estate page.


Deer Valley


Deer Valley remained the most luxury-concentrated ski resort submarket in the Park City area. Across Lower Deer Valley, Upper Deer Valley, Deer Crest, and Empire Pass, the first half of 2026 produced 46 closings totaling $283,635,574, with a median sale price of $5,275,000 and a high closing of $25,000,000. The area included 6 closings above $10 million, including major sales in Empire Pass, Deer Crest, Stein Eriksen Residences, and St. Regis Deer Crest. Explore the broader resort at Deer Valley real estate.


Canyons Village and The Colony


Canyons Village produced 59 closings totaling $188,710,000, with a median sale price of $1,662,500 and a high closing of $25,300,000. The broad Canyons number includes both resort condo activity and The Colony at White Pine Canyon, so it is important to separate the two. The Colony alone produced 4 closings totaling $72,100,000, with a median sale price of $18,650,000 and a high closing of $25,300,000, including three closings above $10 million. For Canyons Village inventory, start with Canyons Village real estate. For large ski-in estates, see The Colony at White Pine Canyon.


Old Town


Old Town remained one of the deepest transaction markets in Park City, with 47 closings totaling $112,896,750, with a median sale price of $1,850,000 and a high closing of $7,580,000. The area continues to trade across a wide range, from smaller condo units to renovated homes and new construction near Main Street, ski access, and the town lift corridor. Learn more at Old Town Park City real estate.


Park Meadows


Park Meadows produced 25 closings totaling $88,368,123, with a median sale price of $2,800,000 and a high closing of $15,750,000. The standout sale was a $15.75 million Eagle Pointe closing, which shows that the neighborhood can still command ultra-luxury pricing when the property offers scale, setting, and quality. Park Meadows remains attractive for buyers who want in-town convenience, golf access, and larger residential lots.


Glenwild


Glenwild produced 9 closings totaling $66,485,000, with a median sale price of $7,900,000 and a high closing of $11,250,000. Eight of the nine Glenwild-area closings were above $5 million, and the high sale reached $11.25 million. The data confirms continued demand for gated golf-community homes with privacy, larger parcels, and a private-club environment.




What Buyers and Sellers Should Know in 2026






Buyer Takeaway


Single-family: move when the right property appears


Where: Promontory, Deer Valley, Park Meadows, Glenwild, The Colony, and established Snyderville Basin neighborhoods.


Why: The first half of 2026 produced 209 single-family closings with a median sale-to-list ratio of 97.4. The best-positioned homes still trade quickly, including multiple $10 million-plus closings with little or no time on market.


Trade-off: Less room to negotiate price on strong properties. More need for financial readiness before touring or writing.






Buyer Takeaway


Condos: compare the building, not just the price


Where: Canyons Village, Old Town, Lower Deer Valley, Upper Deer Valley, and investment-oriented condo buildings.


Why: The first half of 2026 produced 201 condo and townhome closings with a median price of $1,300,000, median $960 per square foot, and a median 39 days on market.


Trade-off: More choices in some buildings, but the best ski-access, branded, and rental-friendly options still need decisive action.






Seller Takeaway


Pricing discipline matters more than optimism


Where: Across every segment, especially properties competing against newer construction or resort-branded inventory.


Why: First-half median sale-to-list ratios remained high, but the spread between immediate sales and long negotiations is wide. Buyers are still active, but they are not rewarding speculative pricing.


Strategy: Price from recent comparable closings, not from aspirational active listings.








Market Perspective From Derrik Carlson


I have been reviewing Park City MLS data and advising buyers and sellers across the Snyderville Basin for nearly twenty years. The pattern I see most consistently is that sellers who price ahead of the market lose more ground waiting than they would have by pricing correctly in the first place, and buyers who wait for a perfect signal often end up competing for fewer options.


The first half of 2026 shows both dynamics at the same time. The market produced 14 sales at $10 million or higher across all property types, including 12 detached single-family sales. That does not mean every detached home is easy to sell. It means the right homes in the right locations are still getting attention from qualified buyers.


The condo market is more nuanced. The condo and townhome segment produced 201 closings, which is almost the same transaction count as single-family homes, but the sale-to-list ratio and days-on-market data show more selectivity. Buyers are comparing HOA costs, rental rules, building condition, ski access, brand, and future supply more carefully.


The most important takeaway is simple: Park City is not one market. A Promontory custom home, a Colony ski estate, a Deer Valley branded residence, an Old Town nightly rental condo, and a Park Meadows family home all require different pricing and negotiation strategies.




Your Next Step in the Park City Market


Market context is useful. A strategy tied to your specific property or search is what actually moves the decision. Pick the track that matches your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Park City Real Estate Market



Is Park City a buyer's market or a seller's market in 2026?

It depends on the segment. Single-family homes remain competitive when the property is well-located, well-presented, and correctly priced. Condos and townhomes are more building-specific, with more buyer sensitivity around HOA costs, rental rules, amenities, condition, and future supply. The first half of 2026 produced 209 single-family closings at a $3,160,000 median and 201 condo and townhome closings at a $1,300,000 median.

What is the median home price in Park City right now?

For the first half of 2026, the median single-family sale price in Park City and the Snyderville Basin was $3,160,000. The median condo and townhome sale price was $1,300,000. These figures cover closed sales from January 1 through June 30, 2026.

Are Park City home prices declining?

The first half of 2026 data does not show a broad collapse in values. It shows segmentation. Single-family homes posted a $3,160,000 median and 97.4 median sale-to-list ratio. Condos and townhomes posted a $1,300,000 median and 96.8 median sale-to-list ratio. Some listings still sell quickly, while others require price discipline and time.

How many luxury homes sold in Park City in the first half of 2026?

Across Park City Limits and the Snyderville Basin, the first half of 2026 produced 73 closings at $5 million or higher and 14 closings at $10 million or higher. The $10 million-plus sales totaled $236,760,000.

Which Park City neighborhoods had the most luxury activity?

Promontory, Deer Valley, The Colony at White Pine Canyon, Empire Pass, Glenwild, Park Meadows, Canyons Village, and Old Town produced the most meaningful first-half luxury activity. Promontory alone closed 40 transactions totaling $254,299,074, while Deer Valley areas closed 46 transactions totaling $283,635,574.

Should sellers wait or list now?

That depends on the property, but the data favors preparation and accurate pricing over waiting for a perfect market. Buyers are active, especially at the top of the market, but they are disciplined. The right strategy is to price from recent comparable sales and current competition, not from broad market optimism.
