MARKET ABSORPTION
RELATIVE TO MEDIAN PRICING

When bringing your property to market, it is important to balance your pricing and timeline objectives. The charts below analyze the time on market against the median price within category type, and clearly demonstrate that those properties priced at or below the median are absorbed at a significantly higher pace.

INVENTORY REMAINS LOW IN MOST SECTORS

NEIGHBORHOOD STATISTICS

PARK CITY LIMITS
Year-over-year, the number of single-family home sales within the City Limits was up 9%, while the median price of $1.93 M remained flat to last year. By neighborhood, Old Town had the highest number of sales – up 36%, while  there were 20% fewer sales in Park Meadows.

SNYDERVILLE BASIN

Snyderville Basin reported more than twice the number of home sales as the City Limits – a 4% increase over last year – with the median price climbing to $1.13 M – up 17%. In Silver Creek sales were up 40% while the median sales price increased 37%, reaching $1.16 M. By neighborhood, Promontory had the highest number of sales in the Basin, with 77 sold homes in the last 12 months.

 JORDANELLE

Activity in the Jordanelle area had a sizable increase in transactions with a 14% median price increase reaching $1.73 M.

HEBER VALLEY
Sales in the Heber Valley continued at a strong pace, with nearly one sale a day, and a 28% median price increase to $506,000. There were 20 more homes sold in Red Ledges compared to last year, with a median sales price of $1.16 M – up 8%. Midway continued to thrive with 96 closed sales and 17% median price increase reaching $544,000.

There are many factors contributing to the numbers we are seeing in the Heber Valley. Despite the sharp increase in construction costs, single-family homes are still well below Park City prices. With new amenities in the Heber Valley and excellent schools, buyers are weighing their options.

KAMAS VALLEY
In the Kamas Valley, the number of sales decreased 15%, though the median price climbed 10% to $412,000. Sales numbers in the Wanship, Hoytsville, Coalville, Echo, & Henefer areas remained the same with a median price of $359,000.

PARK CITY LIMITS
Year over year, the number of condominium sales within the City Limits was up 8% and up 15% in median price to $787,000.

SNYDERVILLE BASIN
The Snyderville Basin reported essentially the same number sales as last year with 308 units and median price of $503,000. The Kimball Junction area saw flat sales but a 15% median price increase to $385,500.

The difference between these two areas may be attributed to the completion of developments in Empire Pass versus the reserved or pending status of to-be-built product in Canyons Resort Village. 

JORDANELLE
The number of closed sales dropped 20% in the Jordanelle area, likely due to lack of inventory as new construction inventory has been absorbed, but there was a 12% increase in median price reaching $528,000.

Park City Limits saw 14 more lot sales than last year and a 15% median price increase reaching $820,000. By neighborhood, Promontory had the highest number of land sales in the Basin with 72 transactions and the median price continued its upward tick reaching $405,000. Canyons Village saw increased sales activity and a 22% median price increase to $2.28 M.

LOOKING FORWARD

Historically, July and August are the months with the highest level of inventory for homes and condos in the Wasatch Back – and Q2 of 2018 was just below Q2 of 2017. In some of the most desirable neighborhoods, a shortfall of for-sale properties has placed upward pressure on the median prices. With the demand for all that the Wasatch Back lifestyle has to offer, listed properties have been selling at a faster pace. In the last 12 months, the average length for a home to sell was less than 6 months in the Basin and less than 11 months in the City Limits.

Because the Wasatch Back is a niche market, it's often essential to drill down to a more micro level to understand the statistical impacts. Please get in touch if you would like further details and information to guide your purchase or selling options.
