The number of houses and condos sold dropped a whopping 45 percent in the first quarter of 2008, versus the first quarter of 2007! But despite the slump in volume, house prices held pretty steady, and the overall, median prices only dipped slightly. Sellers are becoming more and more flexible though, and there has never been a better time for locals to make a lateral move within our market.
There was an article published in this Saturday's Park Record which gives a pretty good picture of our market here right now - We're definitely weathering this lending and real estate storm much better than a lot of other areas.
Get your facts strait!

I originally moved to Park City in 1999 to take a full time job riding and training show horses. I quickly became intrigued by the real estate market in Park City and the surrounding areas, and obtained both my Real Estate, and Mortgage Loan Officer license at that time.
I quickly discovered that my passion within the industry was as a REALTOR, I truly enjoy helping people find their dream home. Whether you are just looking for that first home, searching for a multi-million dollar acquisition and development project, or in pursuit of that perfect horse property or ski condo - put my expertise in the real estate markets of Park City and the surrounding areas to work for you.
I put a high value on the time I can spend continuing my education to better serve my clients. I specialize in the resort and second home markets of Park City, as well as acreage and horse properties. Some of my designations include:
ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) - I am passionate about helping people find their perfect home, and am very well educated in the technicalities of the Real Estate Purchase Contract that can help to protect your interests as a buyer.
ECO Broker - I am very concerned about the environment. This designation class gave me the chance to learn how I can put my expertise in the Real Estate Market together with knowledge on energy efficiency, environmental hazards, and other benefits of owning a "green" home to make a difference.
E-PRO - With my background in Computer Science, this class got me up to speed on the best ways to market homes, communicate with clients, and stay in communication online.
SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) - This designation class specifically related to the unique needs of Senior Citizens in the Real Estate Market.
Other Education: I take as many continuing education classes as I can to further my expertise in the great world of Real Estate. I am currently working on the Resort and Second Home Specialty designation, I'm a member of CRS (Council of Residential Specialists) and I'm an Associate Broker.
Although I don't get a chance to ride as often as I would like, Horses are still one of the loves in my life. I have also been training, teaching, and competing in Karate for about 15 years.
In the summer you can find me early in the mornings out wake boarding, water skiing, and most recently, Land-locking (surfing behind a boat) on one of the lakes near Park City. In the winter- I spend every free day I get skiing one of Park City's awesome resorts!
