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.

New Condo Developments in Deer Valley, Utah

In the past few years, Deer Valley Resort Area has witnessed the emergence of six notable new condominium developments, each comprising a collection of seven real estate developments.

These developments not only offer exceptional winter experiences but also provide unparalleled summer delights, all set against a backdrop of breathtaking views. With onsite management to assist in property rental and a dedicated ski valet service, the convenience and luxury are paramount.

However, it's worth noting that the supply of new construction within Deer Valley is limited, while the demand has consistently remained exceptionally high. Although some developments may have already reached full capacity, the most recent condominium development in Deer Crest stands as a promising option, presenting an exciting opportunity for those seeking the latest and finest offerings in this coveted area.

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.

Deer Valley -- Snow Boarding Ban Remains in place!

 Deer Valley’s ski-only experience will remain in place...

Deer Valley Resort is in talks with the Developer of  Mayflower Mountain Resort just off HWY 40.   Deer Valley asking to be the operating company of the terrain they own, this transaction would mean a  major expansion of Deer Valley’s slopes.

The topic was mentioned on Monday night during a panel discussion about the ski industry organized by Leadership Park City and held at the Santy Auditorium in the Park City Library.

Mayflower Mountain Resort is an Extell Development Company project that is underway in conjunction with the state Military Installation Development Authority. Which is adjacent to the new Military Hotel/Condo being built.

Both of the resort executives noted the plentiful snowfall this last winter, which allowed Park City Mountain and Deer Valley to extend their respective ski seasons. That total accumulation from last seasons ski season reached and exceeded the 500-inch mark at Deer Valley.

Ski Utah President and CEO Nathan Rafferty, said the state will never reach the number of skier-days of Colorado, one of Utah’s chief competitors. He presented a graph, though, showing the consistent increase in skier visits to Utah since the mid-1970s, capped by a record 2021-2022 winter with more than 5.8 million visits.

Ralf Garrison, a travel industry veteran with extensive experience in mountain resorts, told the crowd the 2002 Winter Olympics, when upward of 50% of the competitions were held in the Park City area or nearby Wasatch County, did lots to distinguish the community. He said Park City is considered to be relatively expensive and designed to appeal to affluent consumers, nowadays.

“This is the new Deer Valley,” in Park City, Utah

 Deer Valley & Mayflower sign agreement to merge

Deer Valley Resort recently announced it has reached an agreement for an unprecedented expansion into a large tract of terrain adjacent to Deer Crest, known as Mayflower, a deal that is so significant that it will fundamentally alter what is already one of North America’s award winning mountain resorts.

Deer Valley who is now owned by Alterra Mountain Company and Extell Development Company, have negotiated a long-term operations agreement with the Mayflower Developer, that folds the terrain into Deer Valley, with the first lifts and trails expected to open as early as the 2025-2026 ski season. This negotiation will boost Deer Valley’s terrain by 3,700 acres, bringing the total combined acreage to 5,726. As of July 2023 Deer Valley had 2,026 acres on its own.

The number of runs will increase to 238. The number of lifts will jump to 37. Snowboarding will still be prohibited even in the new areas.

The new town center/ ski village and base area will be located off U.S. 40, with skier services, retailers, restaurants, and hotels. More than 1,200 parking spots are planned. Extell Development Company is continuing work at the location. “This is the new Deer Valley,”

The room was packed with representatives from the various parties involved in the agreement and community leaders, including Mayor Nann Worel. There appeared to be jubilation as speakers described what they see as the benefits of the expansion of Deer Valley into the Mayflower terrain.

The Mayflower area, which is located in Wasatch County, for decades has been seen as prime terrain for skiing, but there was little progress until recent years. There did not appear to be urgency while the land was under previous ownership and later, once there was mounting interest in resort development on the ground, the discussions were complex. The development itself benefitted with the involvement of the Military Installation Development Authority, a state economic development entity that is designed to advance projects with a military component. There is a hotel being built in Mayflower for the benefit of members of the military.

The land as recently as early in the summer was designed to be a standalone resort adjacent to Deer Valley, known as Mayflower Mountain Resort, with Extell Development Company and the Military Installation Development Authority partnering on the project. But there also had been indications Deer Valley would play some sort of role in Mayflower. Deer Valley in June said it was in negotiations with Extell Development Company about the operations of Mayflower, but it was not clear until Thursday’s announcement how broad the agreement would be.

Everyone hopes that the traffic into Park City will be reduced as a result of this agreement.

Jared Smith, who is the president and CEO of Deer Valley owner Alterra Mountain Company, said the resort will continue to limit the number of skiers on a daily basis in an effort to maintain the quality of the skiing experience. He did not, however, provide details about the number of additional skiers that will be allowed each day as a result of the new terrain at Mayflower.

It has been more than a decade, since the 2007-2008 ski season, until the most recent consequential increase in terrain at Deer Valley. The 2007-2008 expansion involved 200 acres in the Lady Morgan section of the resort. Other notable expansions at Deer Valley since the 1990s include the Empire Canyon and Deer Crest terrain.

Buying & Selling Myths

 If you are thinking about buying or selling a home, you likely have some idea of what the process looks like. But everyone’s real estate experience is different, so you can’t always believe everything you hear. Here are some of the most common myths about buying and selling a home.

What Not to Do When Selling Your Home

 

June 2023 . What Not to Do When Selling Your Home There are many moving parts that you'll need to manage when selling your home. While it's essential that you focus on everything that needs to be done correctly to complete this transaction, there are also some things you shouldn't do when selling your home. A single mistake can cost you thousands of dollars in the final sale. Here are some of the most common mistakes to avoid. Setting an Unreasonable Price One of the easiest mistakes to make is setting your price far higher than what the market will pay. Even if you think it's worth the higher price, it's important to consider the market and the buyers' perspective. High interest rates have dampened buyer interest throughout many markets, which is why your listing price should align with what your real estate agent thinks your home's market value is. Your agent will perform a comparative market analysis to look at recently sold homes in your area that are similar in size and features. You can then use this information to set a fair listing price. An overpriced home can linger on the market, deter prospective buyers, and may necessitate price reductions and concessions to get it sold. Setting the right price from the start puts you in a stronger selling position and avoids prolonging your home sale. Ignoring Important Repairs You might feel inclined to sell your home without going through the hassle of making the necessary repairs. However, having a lengthy list of maintenance problems will likely push buyers away and significantly lower your home's value. You don't have to fix everything, but it's important to address the most significant maintenance issues that affect your home's functionality, safety, and structure. Limiting Showings After your home has been placed on the market, your goal should be to have as many buyers tour your home as possible. If your agent has a buyer who wants a private showing of your home, you should do whatever you can to accommodate the showing. This won't always be convenient for your schedule, and you may need to leave on short notice, but remaining flexible will pay off in the long run. Immediately Accepting a High Offer As a seller, you likely want an offer that matches or exceeds your asking price. However, the highest offer may not always be the best offer. Make sure that you check to see what, if any, contingencies have been placed in the contract. Contingencies are conditions you'll need to satisfy before the sale can close. The most common contingencies are related to inspection and financing. While you should accommodate any inspection or financing contingency that's placed in the contract, you may want to avoid offers that are contingent on the buyer first selling their current home, especially if you have a tight timeline. This contingency could cause significant delays in the closing timeline. If you'd like the process of selling your home to be as stress-free as possible, avoid making the mistakes mentioned above. Entrusting an experienced real estate agent to advise you and properly market your property is another way to ensure your home sale goes as smoothly as possible. Fun Summer Activity Ideas Summer is upon us! Warm weather and more free time make summer the perfect time for the whole family to take part in fun and exciting activities. Below are seven activity ideas you might enjoy. Have a Picnic Instead of staying cooped up in your home, enjoy the warm summer weather by having a picnic with your loved ones. All you need is a basket or cooler, a blanket, some tableware, and your favorite foods and beverages. Pick out a shady tree in your favorite park, or even your yard, and enjoy! Take Part in a Community Event The summer months are packed with local activities for you to enjoy. From music festivals to food fairs to charity races, there’s something for everyone. Scan the event calendar page of your city and county websites to see what’s scheduled in the months ahead. Got a favorite park/museum/restaurant? Try following them on social media to see upcoming events in your regular scroll. Go Camping The arrival of the summer means that temperatures are now warm enough to go camping. Camping gives you the chance to unplug from technology, sleep under the stars, and enjoy some s'mores. While s'mores can be made at home, there's nothing quite like roasting marshmallows over the fire while surrounded by nature. Play Mini Golf A simple yet fun activity that every family member can enjoy is mini golf. You don't need to be a skilled golfer to have a great round of golf, just plan a night of putt-putt with your friends or family and watch out for that windmill. Go Fishing If you enjoy fishing, consider getting the whole family involved. Pick your favorite body of water and make a day of it with snacks, drinks and a fishing story or two. Be sure to get the appropriate licenses for everyone in your group. Tip: when you go in the evening, the weather will be more pleasant, and the fish should bite more often. Make Homemade Ice Cream Almost nothing is more satisfying than eating cold ice cream on a hot day. Instead of buying a carton at the grocery store, take some time to make your own. There are many methods you can use to make ice cream. Having an ice cream maker makes it easiest, but you can also make it using a resealable plastic bag. Attend a Farmer's Market Summertime brings fresh seasonal produce, which makes it the perfect time to attend a local farmer's market. While you're there, look at the wide variety of local and fresh ingredients available to you. You can plan out a delicious meal that showcases your fresh ingredients, all while supporting your local growers and makers. Summer is the perfect season for taking part in countless outdoor activities. You can also take a road trip, host a BBQ in your backyard, or attend an outdoor concert. There's practically no limit to what you can do, so get out there and have fun!
