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.
