Conclusion
By these numbers, it is easy to see that our market area is full of unique micro-markets that vary significantly from one neighborhood to another. Comparisons are hard to read on paper due to the unique features of individual properties. Simply reviewing overall real estate market trends is not sufficient to understand property values, as amenities, property condition and style, location, inventory, and age are hard to determine from a birds eye view. Buyers and sellers would be advised to contact a Park City Board of REALTORS® professional for the most accurate, detailed, and current information.
