It's a condohotel project consisting of 170 whole ownership condos. It will be located by the upcoming new Frostwood gondola and next to the proposed golf course at the Canyons Resort.

You can get your best pricing on most new projects at their first release. A couple of weeks ago the developer released 40 units for The Dakota Moutain Lodge's first release of…

More people are starting to hear about the benefits of staging their home to sell. I'm a true believer in staging a home to sell. To help provide more service to my listing clients, I trained with StagedHomes.com to become an Accredited Staging Professional Realtor. It has really helped me provide a greater level of customer service to my clients. My last listing was under contract in only 3 weeks when their hadn't been any other condos under contract in that same development in a few months. I provide complimentary staging consultations to my clients and some help as well. My last client I helped move boxes of clutter to her storage room and helped move some of her furniture around to better show off the space. If a client needs more extensive…
The Hailstone Townhome project is releasing it's 3rd phase of twinhomes at the Jordanelle Reservoir in Park City . This is a great second home property for the skier who also enjoys boating in the summer. The views are phenomenal and include water views of the Jordanelle Reservoir, ski runs at Deer Valley Resort on Bald Mountain and at Deer Crest. It is located across the highway from the Deer Valley gondola and down the street from the Jordanelle boat dock. Some of the townhomes even include an extra long garage to store a boat. Also, there is a proposed public golf course planned for the future. The townhomes are underconstruction currently and are planned for completion in the Spring of 2007. They are large four level twinhomes that will have 2500…
Deer Valley Resort is a great place to buy a second home ski property. Many of the people I talk to who ski at Deer Valley Resort enjoy the fact that it's a skier only resort so they don't have to share the slopes with snowboarders. There are very few resorts that offer this exclusivity. Alta outside of Salt Lake City is the same but it is on publicly owned lands so there is very little second home property to purchase near the resort. The other two skier only resorts are in Taos New Mexico and one on the East Coast. The people I talk to feel it is a safer environment because it's a skier only resort. Not only is Deer Valley a skier only resort but it also offers incredible customer service. It was rated in 2005 by Ski Magazine as #1 for a Ski resort.…
Many people who are looking to buy a second home in Park City Utah want to be able to place it in a nightly rental pool so they can get some income and tax writeoffs on the property and still be able to use it for themselves.There are a few things you need to think about before buying. First you need to make sure you are able to place your condo in a nightly rental pool. Not all condominium developments in Park City allow it. The CC&R's for a condo development which are the coventants, conditions and restrictions that control the requirements, restrictions and use of a property need to be examined first.The real estate agent you are working with should have a good idea in general which ones allow it and which ones do not but to protect yourself you should…
The Grand Summit Lodge at The Canyons Resort in Park City Utah offers fractional home ownership for those who want a second home ski condo but can't afford the full ownership price tag. I'm currently working with some clients that decided to take that route after looking into full ownership opportunities in the Park City real estate marketplace. They are finding it is perfect for them and it will offer them a condo in a great location next to the Canyons Resort's gondola at a great price. The finishes and amenities are terrific too. The fractional ownership at the Grand Summit Lodge is in quarter share portions.There are some full ownership opportunities but most are sold in single quarter share increments providing an owner with 13 weeks of rotating…
I went on a tour yesterday to see the Hideout Canyon Project in Park City Utah. The project offers some of the most spectacular views you can find any where in a golf community. It provides both water views of the Jordanelle Reservoir and spectacular mountain views of Deer Valley Resort and of Mount Timpanogos. It is early in developement so it is a great time to consider buying in this project. They are offering luxury townhomes, luxury retreats and custom home sites. The golf course planned for the development will be a semi-private golf course which will help save on dues and membership fees. Many of the other private golf course communities requiring membership fees and monthly dues.
One of the benefits I hear from people who enjoy spending the ski season in Park City is that the elevation isn't too high to cause much altitude sickness.The towns elevation is around 6800 feet. Many of the ski towns in Colorado have much higher elevations in which one traveling to the area from lower elevations will more likely experience altitude sickness. This recently came to my attention while working with a client who brought it up with me while looking at property the other day. They notice when they take ski trips to Colorado there tends to be someone in the group who comes down with altitude sickness. Yet that never seems to be the case when they take their ski trips to Park City. I felt it was an important benefit that Park City offers to…
The ski town of Park City Utah does offer some of the best ski in ski out property that you can find in the world.The majority of the land at the 3 ski resorts in Park City is privately held and therefore can be developed on. Whereas most other ski resorts throughout the country are on publicly held land and so housing development can not occur on the ski hill. Therefore other resorts are limited to building projects at the base of the ski resort . There are some amazing ski in ski out projects as a result of that in Park City.
One example is the Colony development at The Canyons Resort which offers some of the largest ski in ski out building lots in the world as well as specatular views. Some of the lots at the Colony also allow for horses. Empire…
