Deer Valley Sales Trends Review: 2019 - 2022

Updated as of January 2023: Deer Valley has consistently proven to be a thriving market for The Higman Real Estate Team, with ski property sales constituting a significant portion of our success. Our genuine appreciation for the homes and condos in Deer Valley undoubtedly contributes to our strong performance in this area.

A comparison of data from 2019, 2020, and 2021 reveals a consistent upward trend in the number of transactions, accompanied by a decrease in days on the market. However, 2022 brought about a notable shift, with a nearly 52% decrease in the number of transactions. Simultaneously, the days on the market decreased by approximately 45%. Despite this adjustment, our team adeptly navigated the challenges, securing contracts for an impressive 75% of properties in Lower Deer Valley at one point, showcasing our resilience in a market with minimal inventory.

The decline in the number of properties sold in Deer Valley in 2022 can be attributed to the absence of new developments available for sale. While we've successfully sold new condos in Empire Pass for several years, the scarcity of building parcels and the absence of new construction projects on the horizon have impacted market dynamics.

In 2022, the average Deer Valley property sold for $3,763,524, ranging from $750,000 to $16,850,000.

Below are sales trends for Deer Valley from 2019 to 2022, with the first graph illustrating trends for single-family homes, and the second focusing on condominiums that have been sold.

How to Get the Best Deal on a Ski Home or Condo

Deer Valley stands as Utah's most exclusive real estate locale, yet it remains a superior value compared to some other upscale ski towns. While the sales process may be more deliberate here, with no obligation for anyone to buy or sell, the allure of Deer Valley is undeniable—everyone wants to be a part of this exceptional community.

As a Deer Valley Realtor, my strategy involves achieving remarkable deals for clients by targeting older listings that have lingered on the market, often presenting opportunities for negotiation in favor of the buyer. Recognizing the potential in these properties, I collaborate with a skilled contractor and multiple interior designers to transform tired homes into like-new gems.

A recent success story involves a remodel in The Bald Eagle Club, where clients purchased a ski-in-ski-out home and sought a personalized touch. Through strategic changes in the kitchen layout, updated color schemes, and new bathroom tiles, we revitalized the property. Similarly, a client who acquired a three-bedroom condo in Deer Valley turned to my recommended local contractor and interior designer for a comprehensive 1980s remodel. This endeavor, encompassing paint, a kitchen overhaul, and railing updates, not only enhanced the vacation property but also resulted in a substantial profit upon resale.

In essence, the lesson here is that even with older condos in need of renovation, we have the expertise to breathe new life into them, regardless of the scale of the project.
