Nice (Furniture) Package

When you’re buying homes to live in full time, you typically furnish those homes over time. You may have your grandmother’s buffet, the end tables you bought in California, the new dining room table. And as you move you buy or sell pieces to fit your needs and tastes. When you buy a vacation or investment home in a different area, odds are SO VERY GOOD that you aren’t going to bother with shipping things out to furnish it. This is why many properties in Park City are sold furnished: it’s absurd for the sellers and buyers to ship all of their furniture out or into the house, so we sell them with furniture because it’s convenient.

Goldener Hirsch Hotel and Residences (pt II)

Please note: this project is still very much in the planning stages. Information herein is not guaranteed.

Sign up to receive news on Goldener Hirsch Hotel and Residences as it is released.

It’s been a long spring waiting for news on the Goldener Hirsch Hotel and Residences. But my enthusiasm remains untempered: this is still the last buildable lot in upper Deer Valley and Goldener Hirsch is still very much a storied brand. So far, the bulk of what we know is from the January Planning Commission packet and the January Planning Commission Meeting minutes. (I can email these packets directly to you as well.) And according to the Planning Commission, they are working out utility plans now. Word on the street is that they have to move a sewer line, but that is of course unconfirmed.

Quick Location Video: Victorian Village

My Quick Location Video series addresses what I see to be a pretty common theme in real estate, rental, and tourism: the writer just assumes you know what the names are for all the areas and that you know what those names mean. I’m guilty of falling into that trap myself, so here is my attempt to absolve myself. These little videos will just give you a quick rundown of what you can find in the area and what some of the key features are.

Today I feature Victorian Village condos, in Old Town on Empire Ave, walk through one listed condo, and discuss why it’s important to read the HOA meeting minutes, budgets, and financial statements when shopping for a property in an HOA community. I filmed this in May of 2016.

This condo shown here was listed by CooperWynn Real Estate, but has since sold. Please contact me to see what’s online in Victorian Village currently or to be notified as soon as one comes on the market.

Quick Location Video: Snow Blaze Condos

My Quick Location Video series addresses what I see to be a pretty common theme in real estate, rental, and tourism: the writer just assumes you know what the names are for all the areas and that you know what those names mean. I’m guilty of falling into that trap myself, so here is my attempt to absolve myself. These 1-2 minute videos will just give you a quick rundown of what you can find in the area and what some of the key features are.

Part of my Quick Location Video series, where I do a quick rundown of the different areas of Park City, Utah. Today’s location focuses on Snow Blaze condos in Old Town, in the 14th block of Woodside and Empire Ave. Now this isn’t everything for sale in the complex, and none of the units sold are my listings, but hmu for more information on what is available.

The properties shown in this video are listed by Jess Reid Real Estate; the first condo for the moment can be found here.

Quick Location Video: Park Station Condos

My Quick Location Video series addresses what I see to be a pretty common theme in real estate, rental, and tourism: the writer just assumes you know what the names are for all the areas and that you know what those names mean. I’m guilty of falling into that trap myself, so here is my attempt to absolve myself. These 1-2 minute videos will just give you a quick rundown of what you can find in the area and what some of the key features are.

Today’s location is very specific, Park Station condos, at the bottom of Main Street between Park Ave and Deer Valley Drive in Old Town. Here I walk through one of the condos currently for sale to give you a layout as well. (Please note, this is not my listing, but is listed by a colleague of mine at Jess Reid Real Estate.)

For the moment, listing details can be found here.

A STEAL in Old Town

***UPDATE: This house is gone, baby gone. Allegedly receiving 5 offers and has closed.***

Shopping for Old Town opportunities means looking for these things:

  1. Flat road
  2. Next to staircase
  3. Garage
  4. Non-historic
  5. Close to attractions (Main St., Park City Resort, etc.)
  6. Ready for a remodel
  7. Yard
  8. Good price

My friends, I have found a property that ticks 7 of the 8 boxes. This house at 501 Park Ave is ready for a new owner, and is a real opportunity.

It’s not my listing (listed by Coldwell Banker – Union Park), and we would absolutely want to verify that it actually has escaped the historically significant designation (because if it is historic then you will be very limited by what you can do). But this cutie is on the market at the moment for $950,000, next to the 5th St staircase, has a two-car garage, was heavily remodeled in the 1990s, and is on one of the easier parts of upper Park Ave. Being next to the staircase means you get the feeling of a giant Old Town lot but you don’t have to pay the tax bill or purchase price for it! Remodeled homes with that proximity in Old Town trade for over $2M.

Oh, and while I was filming this video another Old Town agent showed up WITH clients. So, as they say, THE TIME TO HESITATE IS THROUGH. Call me if you’re interested, this one won’t last long.

Quick Location Video: Three Kings Condos

Part of my Quick Location Video series, where I do a quick AND DRAMATIC rundown of the different areas of Park City, Utah. Today’s location is very specific, Three Kings condos in Old Town. Bordered by Park City Golf Course, Glenwood Cemetery and Park City Resort’s base area. Underground assigned parking. Clustered townhouses in a horseshoe configuration to take advantage of the ample open space. Here I walk through one of the condos currently for sale to give you a layout as well. (Please note, this is not my listing, but is listed by a colleague of mine at Summit Sotheby’s International Realty.)

Feel the (328) Bern (Way)

(Hey, these are the jokes.)

I have an out-of-town client that needed a video walk-through of a house with a recent price to really get a good feel for the floorplan and views. So, off to Midway we go!

Here’s the quick and glaringly amateur video of 328 Bern Way in Interlaken Estates, a new construction home, 4 bd, 4 bath, approx. 3,000 sq ft, including 25 seconds of clumsy non-dash cam footage of said mountain road:

Hello I Log You: Timber Wolf Lodges 11D

I like log construction you guys. The green metal roofs, the orange posts, the playing on the carpet with Lincoln Logs nostalgia. Not sorry. And it seems like it’s been a while since I waxed poetic about it, and this super cute Timber Wolf Lodge unit came on the market recently, so, two birds with one stone.

These condos are at the Canyons, are just a short walk to skiing, and have attached garages! This one is at 3987 N Timber Wolf Lane, unit 11D, Park City, UT 84060. Click here for listing information.
