One of the popular types of properties that second home buyers are looking to buy in the popular ski community of Park City Utah would be ski in ski out condos.  The Park City area offers a nice selection of ski in ski out condos for sale at it’s three popular ski areas : Deer Valley Resort, Park City Mountain Resort and The Canyons Resort. You can find either condos that are ready to use this ski season or those that are pre-construction projects requiring typically 10-20% down before completion.

Some of the popular areas at Deer Valley Resort you will find ski in ski out condos for sale would be the Deer Crest area, the Upper Deer Valley - Silver Lake area and the Empire Pass area.  At Park City Mountain Resort you will find some condos at the resort center or in the new Silver Star Project.  At the Canyons Resort there are projects at the base area which are currently built or under construction.  The Escala luxury ski in ski out project at the Canyons Resort will be ready for the 2008/2009 ski season. Ski in ski out condos will cost more than condos that are a short walk or drive away.  Typically ski in ski out condos will start at around $700 per square foot and can go as high as $1800 per square foot.

The new Lookout at Deer Valley Development offers the next best thing to ski in ski out for a new construction luxury second home at Deer Valley Resort.

I recently visited the Lookout at Deer Valley planned unit development.  It is a great option if you are looking to purchase a new construction vacation home at Deer Valley Resort.  They offer both free standing homes as well as twin homes ranging in size from about 4300 square feet to 6200 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms.  Prices start in the low $3,000,000’s. The price per square foot for these luxury new homes are about $200 to $400 per square feet less than comparable ski in ski out homes at Deer Valley Resort.  The Lookout at Deer Valley has a club house with an onsite concierge and shuttle service for owners and guests.  It offers the next best thing to ski in ski out because of their convenient shuttle service for owners.  They can pick you up at your Lookout home and drop you off at the ski lift as well as pick you up.  Besides offering a ski shuttle service they will also take owners and guests to and from the Main Street area so they can enjoy a wonderful dinner at one of the many great Park City restaurants.

There are some units that are available for occupancy this year and some for next year. Feel free to call or email me so I can find out what units are still available.  Nightly rentals are allowed in this project if you are looking for a vacation home you can place in a nightly rental pool.

Enjoy free parking at the Park City Ski Resorts which include Deer Valley Resort, Park City Mountain Resort & the Canyons Resort.  They all offer free parking in their parking lots.  I was recently working with some buyers who had asked me about it.  They indicated at the Vail Ski Resort it does cost about $25 per day to park in their parking lot so I thought it might be good to let people know that it is free at the ski resorts in Park City Utah.  Deer Valley Resort offers a free shuttle ride from the parking lot to their Snow Park Lodge as well as free ski storage. The Canyons Resort offers a free cabriolet ride from the parking lot to the Canyons Resort Village area.   The open air lot at Park City Mountain Resort is free and they do offer a paid parking area if you would like covered parking and a shorter walk to the lifts.

If you are planning to purchase a single family home in the Deer Valley Resort area and want to place in a rental pool, then you need to be careful as to which subdivision you buy your home.  Recently, I was at a realtor’s open house day and visited a home that was just re-listed to sell.  The owners had placed their Deer Valley home in a rental pool but the neighborhood CC&Rs didn’t allow it so one of the neighbors threatened to sue.  You certainly don’t want that to happen.

The overall Deer Valley area allows for nightly rentals but various subdivisions within Deer Valley may not allow it or restrict how long and how often you may place it in a rental pool.  It is wise to do your due diligence and read the CC&Rs for the subdivision you are interested in buying a Deer Valley home carefully to make sure it’s okay and will work for you.  Some may even restrict it to one rental per 30 day period of time. 

I’ve talked to some of the property management companies and they said their is a growing demand for Deer Valley single family homes to be placed in a nightly rental pool.   It may be a very wise decision since HOA fees aren’t so high and demand is growing.  They’ve also mentioned to me the condition of the property is also important since people who stay in Deer Valley have a higher level of expectations.

As a buyer’s agent,  I’m very careful to get my clients all the information they need to make a wise business decision on their property purchase in the Park City area.   I’d rather them not make a purchase than make a purchase they will later regret.
