Great time to purchase ski property in Park City Utah

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Now is a great time to consider buying your dream ski home or condo in the popular ski community of Park City Utah.  With the ski season here, sellers who are wanting to sell their ski property have them on the market to sell.  There is a great selection to choose from as well as a some great interest rates

Park City offers some great value for a ski community compared to other popular ski communities.  It continues to grow in popularity so buy now before it’s too late.  There are some great new ski condo projects in which flippers are trying to get out of their investment.  I see it as a great opportunity to pick up a great deal on a great property from those who need to get out of their flip. 

As a Certified Negotiation Expert and Resort & Second Home Property Specialist, I would enjoy the opportunity to help you find the perfect property in the Park City area as well as help you negotiate for the best possible price.  I also offer to my buyer clients an attractive Buyer Incentive Program which can help save buyers up to an additional $10,000 depending on the purchase price of the property.

Second Home Owner Tip - Your Furnace

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

One of the most important things when owning a second home or condo in the Park City area is making sure your furnace is working and on during the cold months.  I have found not all second home owners in the Park City area live in colder climates where they need to heat their homes so they are not aware of the importance of their home’s furnace functioning properly. 

It is very critical when you initially purchase a Park City home, condo or townhome to make sure the utility company has been contacted so that there is not a disruption in service for your heating system.  I have seen occassions where the furnace has either not been turned on or accidently turned off during the cold months which has then caused incredible damage from broken water pipes.  Without adequate heat in a home pipes have a high chance of freezing and thus breaking.  The major damage that occurs would be water damage which can cause thousands of dollars in damage to a home but it is so easy to prevent. 

There are many property management companies in the Park City area that can periodially check your home to make sure everything is running properly while you are away.  It is a worthwhile minor expense that can save you thousand of dollars in potential problems.  They can also help advise you on what would be the best temperature to keep your home set at when you are not around to help prevent problems from occuring.
