First Tracks at Canyons Resort is such a great experience

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011 at 4:08pm. 214 Views, 0 Comments.

Yesterday I was able to experience First Tracks at Canyons Resort for the first time.  It was such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this program.  I'm lucky enough to enjoy it on a regular basis as part of my Canyons Club Membership on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays but anyone can enjoy it with an additional fee on top of their day pass or season pass.  The program takes those signed up with a group of guides and an Olympian on the slopes at 7:30 am till 9:00am to allow access to the mountain before the resort opens to the general public.  We follow as a group with the guides.  Since we didn't have fresh snow yesterday I was able to experience freshly groomed trails.  It definately is a great way to enjoy the powder on powder days…

Park City Local's Tip - Bring Your own Bottle of Wine

Monday, March 1st, 2010 at 12:10pm. 3136 Views, 1 Comments.

A helpful Park City local's tip that some of my recent clients have found helpful is that most restaurants in Park City will allow you to bring your own bottle of wine and then they will just charge you a corkage fee which is typically about $10 more or less.  Some may not even charge it.  There are several State liquor stores in Park City where you can pick up a bottle of wine to take with you to dinner.  The largest is located next to the Park City Market.

Condohotel Loans are a Challenge these days

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 at 11:22am. 1466 Views, 0 Comments.

Getting a loan for a Condohotel is very difficult in this current economic climate.  Not all condos are challenging but Condohotels which are condos with a front desk are a major challenge these days.  I am finding that there are some loans available but that the interest rates are very high and in the range of about 8% to 9%.  I find this really suprises buyers who see some very low interest rates being advertised by banks.   Banks not only look at the buyer but they also look at the type of property that the buyer wants to purchase.  Banks look at condohotels as a high risk property.  

If you are looking to get a good deal on a condo in Park City and plan on getting a loan to purchase a condo, then you really need to consider what type of a condo it…

Staged Park City Condo undercontract in 3 weeks

Monday, April 13th, 2009 at 2:32pm. 750 Views, 1 Comments.

mlsphoto2.jpg Last week my client's condo in Pinebrook just went under contract in 3 weeks.  She was completely amazed and thought it might take several months.  There were about a dozen similar condos on the market with none under contract in the last couple of months.  This spring I had become an Accredited Home Staging Professional through StagedHomes.com.  This condo was my first to use my new staging skills and it worked wonders.  Staged homes do sell faster in a slower market.  She was also pleased with the price I helped negotiate for her as well.
