park city real estate: Snow Guns Full Bore At PCMR - 11/14/14 05:55 AM
PCMR has been bl,owing snow almost  around the clock now  since the tenth of November, the earliest I can ever remember they have been able to go to something close to 24 hr. snowmaking and there is no indication of any warm up in temps until March at this point.

That bodes well for the very important Christmas Holiday season and even for Thanksgiving as well.

Not much natural snow yet, but if mother nature cooperated with low temperatures, it will set the tone for a great ski season here in park City.

The local real estate market has been picking … (12 comments)

park city real estate: Just A Few Pictures For Fun In Park City, UT - 11/11/14 06:57 AM
As i was getting a bit of work done in  my home office today I noticed a red tail hawk resting it's wings at the to of  one of our spruce trees.

Later on I saw a  herd of over 100 Elk just 30 or 40 feet off the road.  I counted over 65 in this picture and there were quite a few more on either side of this shot and in the distance beyond.

I feel lucky and blessed to  live ion such a special place where sightings like these are commonplace.   Call me at 435-513-2324 or … (17 comments)

park city real estate: Homes For Sale In Snyder's Mill, Park City UT - 10/29/14 07:15 AM
Snyder's Mill  is part of the larger  Silver Springs community in Park City and remains one of the most popular subdivisions in town for  primary homeowners.  Most homes here range from  around  $550,000 to the upper six figures with an occasionl  home over $1  million.
Snyder's Mill has a different feel  than many communities in Park City  and is the only major subdivision with sidewalks, making it a popular choice for families.

There never seems to be a lot of inventory here as homes that are priced right tend to sell  pretty quickly, and the current situation is no exception.

park city real estate: Snow Guns Ready To Go - 10/17/14 06:49 AM
I took a ride up to Canyons Resort today and enjoyed a cup of coffee over near their soon to be ski beach.
There were some  hikers enjoying the beautiful fall weather and it hardly seems to be just a month or so from opening day.

Anyone who lives here though knows just how quickly the weather can change and Canyons has their big snow guns out, primed and ready to go any day now.  I was at Deer Valley Resort the other day and they had their's out and ready to go as well.

park city real estate: The Promontory Club In Park City, Utah - 10/12/14 08:15 AM
The Promontory Club in Park City,Utah  has been in operation for over 12 years now and the amenities are really starting to fill in.  There are now two golf courses, the Pete Dye Canyon golf course and the Jack Nicklaus Painted Valley Signature golf course.  They are as different as night and day and really challenge any level of golfer.

park city real estate: Wolf Creek Ranch In Park City, Utah - 07/27/14 06:42 AM
Last week I was treated to a private Realtor tour of the 14,000 acre paradise known as Wolf Creek Ranch.  The ranch is located just 20 minutes from Park City and 40 minutes from Salt Lake City and yet is a world apart from anything else you will see in the area.

Each of the 84 lots here are 160 acres in size and can accommodate a main home, guest/caretaker's home and barn.  All 84 lots have been sold but there are a number of resale homes and lots available.  Each owner will be allowed a 10 acre building envelope to … (6 comments)

park city real estate: Homes For Sale In Park Meadows June 2014 - 06/20/14 03:19 AM
Park Meadows is one of the more well established neighborhoods in Park City and there always seems to be a demand for high quality homes in Park Meadows by primary and second home buyers alike.
Park Meadows offers the convenience of in town living with the feel of a suburban residential subdivision.  As a resident of Park Meadows you are only a 5 to 10 minute drive from your home to almost anywhere in town.

This is mainly a development of single family homes but their are some condo and town home choices available including The Racquet Club condos, Fairway Village, Four Lakes … (9 comments)

park city real estate: Last Sun At The Cove In Park Meadows Update - 06/16/14 04:55 AM
Last Sun at The Cove townhomes are located in Park Meadows up on the hill overlooking the Jack Nicklaus designed golf course at the Park Meadows Country Club and the town of Park City.  They occupy one of the prime locations in the area and take full advantage of the southern exposure which truly does give them the last sun in the area.  This is an especially nice benefit during the shorter mid winter days when other nearby areas are already in the shade experiencing a noticeable late afternoon chill, while the Last Sun at The Cove townhomes are still basked in sunshine.

park city real estate: 6 Months, 7 extensions And 3 Lenders later...... - 06/03/14 06:58 AM
Well, I have been at this for about 18 months now and this was certainly not my typical deal.  At $159,000 it was my lowest priced deal to date by a pretty significant margin but brought rewards well beyond the check or the hourly wage, which was probably below minimum wage.
Last fall I received a call from my advertising on Trulia from a Filipino woman asking about condos to buy in Park City.  After a bit of back and forth as English was not her first language I determined she wanted to buy the condo she was living in which had been … (21 comments)

park city real estate: La Maconnerie Townhomes In Lower Deer Valley - 05/06/14 04:12 AM
The La Maconnerie Townhomes in Lower Deer Valley are just a short drive up Royal Street from the Snow Park Village parking lot.

These condos were some of the earliest condos/townhomes built anywhere in Deer Vally, being constructed in 1984, however they retain a premium price due to their timeless construction and location in a secluded evergreen forest with direct ski access to the Success ski run.
These townhomes rarely come on the market with the last one being several years ago before the most recent listing came on line about a month ago.
The current listing is a 4 … (16 comments)

park city real estate: Homes For Sale In Pinebrook April 2014 - 04/24/14 03:08 AM
Pinebrook is located just across the freeway from Jeremy Ranch and although separated by just a mile or so in distance the two areas are a completely different experience for the homeowner.

Jeremy Ranch is south facing with some nice views while Pinebrook is north facing and the view is your environment with towering pine and spruce seemingly everywhere.  Jeremy Ranch on the other hand was just a barren hillside before the homes and associated landscaping went in.
There are hiking and mountain biking trails and trail heads throughout Pinebrook and if you don't mind the slightly longer winters and shorter periods … (8 comments)

park city real estate: 2585 Larkspur Dr. Park City, 84060 Closed - 04/08/14 02:00 AM
I represented the buyers in their purchase of 2585 Larkspur Dr. in Park City.

We looked at numerous homes in a number of different neighborhoods over a 6 month period before settling on the perfect home for them.
This transaction was not without it's bumps as a better offer came in just before the end of the due diligence period making for some rough sledding, but my buyers stuck to their guns and we got through this, getting them in the house they really wanted at an excellent price.
This home is on the hill towards the back of Park … (11 comments)

park city real estate: Spring Skiing In Park City - 03/31/14 03:37 AM
The crowds are largely gone for the year but the snow is not, as you can see by these pictures I snapped this morning at Park City Mountain resort.

PCMR received 10 inches of fresh snow in the last 24 hours and with temperatures in the high 30's today, mid winter conditions are in order for the next few days and a prettier bluebird day will be difficult to find.

Even in a sub par snow year like this year there is not a bare spot to be seen anywhere on the mountain and freshies, bumps and no lift lines await … (13 comments)
