Feb 28, 2013

HGTV House Hunters UtahThe producers of HGTV's House Hunters want to do a show in Park City, Utah. As a Park City Real Estate expert they have approached me to find a client who is purchasing a home or condo in the Park City area and who is interested to be on the show.

If you want to be on the show the House Hunters crew will film you, the buyer, in your current home and ask you what you’re looking for, why you want to move, etc.  After that, they’ll film us looking at a total of three different homes and then the episode ends with you moving into your new home.  It takes a few days of filming, but you get to be on national TV and have some fun (and you get paid!).

The show is looking for a couple (family, newly weds, etc), so if you’re looking to purchase a home or condo and want to be on the show, give me a call.  Click here to watch an episode of House Hunters.  And if you’re looking to buy a house and don’t want to be on TV, I can still help you.

We are happy to see that we are on the road to recovery. The Park City construction industry reported that the month of October was their best month of the year with a year-to-date figure of $54.5 million. This brings the Park City real estate numbers for new construction about 62 percent ahead of the numbers recorded in 2011. While Park City land sales are sky-rocketing there is still a large amount of inventory available for a good price while the inventory of homes and condos is starting to shrink.

These positive numbers are also true for the rest of the country. Bloomberg.com just reported that new home construction climbed to a 4-year high in October. This exceeds all estimates in a Bloomberg survey.

All 3 Park City Resorts Voted into the TOP 10 Resorts in North America!

By Steve Blankenship
Oct 27, 2012

The readers of SKI magazine have voted all 3 Park City Ski resorts into the Top 10 Ski Resorts in North America.

Canyons Resort ranked No.10; Park City Mountain Resort ranked No. 4 and Deer Valley, for the first time in 5 years, "only" ranked No. 2. However, Deer Valley is still a strong runner-up due to its red-carpet service, on-hill fine dining, and prime ski-in/ski-out access.

We are especially happy to see Canyons Resort in the Top 10 for the first time in history of this survey. Fueled by more than $50 million in infrastructure investment since 2010, lifted by the only enclosed heated-seat chairlift in North America, lauded for adding 300 prime acres of intermediate and advanced trails at Iron Mountain and fed by widespread upgrades in both resort village and on-mountain dining, Canyons earned the #10 overall ranking – a tremendous leap from #20 just three years ago before a massive resort transformation began.

Ski Magazine's ranking is based on lodging, snow and terrain quality, staff friendliness, mountain culture and apres ski.

Deer Valley Plans Gondola to Main Street!

By Steve Blankenship
Oct 01, 2012

Deer Valley is in the talks of adding a new lift to connect the resort with Main Street. The City and Deer Valley are currently working on possible locations for the terminals. The City is considering the paid parking lot next to the Wasatch Brew Pub, at the top of Main Street as a close contender. Deer Valley is considering Silver Lake as a possible terminal to connect to Main Street.

Formal decisions have not been made and terminals are not yet finalized. Adding another lift to Main Street would make Park City the only Ski town in North America with downtown links to two mountain resorts. Deer Valley has said the earliest a gondola could open, if one is pursued, is the 2014-2015 ski season.
