Park City, Utah is home to a handful of America’s premier outdoor recreation resorts. Park City, Deer Valley and The Canyons are all within a short distance of each other. Sundance is tucked away south of Mount Timpanogos about twenty minutes away from Park City. Each resort offers a distinct style and ambiance.

Park City real estate has been booming for decades. The area has seen its fair share of cycles, to be sure, but on average valuations have risen dramatically and steadily over time. The area’s strong real estate market can be attributed to a number of factors.

Park City real estate benefits from the area’s close proximity to the Wasatch Front. Local, regional, national and international visitors can find themselves in Park City after a short 30 minute ride from Salt Lake City and only 45 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport.

Park City real estate also benefits from Utah’s acclaimed — light and deep — snow. Utah’s desert climate and high elevation combine to dry moisture-laden storms emanating from the nearby Pacific Northwest. As storms accelerate into Utah, they pick up water from the Great Salt Lake and then hang up on the jagged, rapidly-rising peaks of the Wasatch mountain range, often dumping several feet of light, airy snow in just a few days. This is known as “lake effect.”

The area’s climate also means that winters don’t last forever. Park City real estate enjoys the benefits of a long summer season, with brief but splendid fall and spring seasons. Summer recreation abounds in Park City. Ubiquitous hiking and mountain biking trails, fly fishing on nearby rivers and boating on nearby lakes all contribute to a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
