Whether you are looking to purchase or sell a home or condominium in the Park City or Deer Valley area, one thing is certain....real estate buyers and sellers lean towards new, fresh and clean.  At first glance, achieving an updated look can seem like a complicated and expensive project.  Some buyers, when looking at older real estate feel like they will need to refinish the entire home in order to get it up to par.

Is there a 'best time' to buy or sell resort real estate in Park City or Deer Valley?  Are sellers more motivated after the skiers leave?  

It’s true that the crowds disappear, streets have less traffic, and in general, Park City becomes a bit quieter.    The assumption is sometimes made that the activity in the Park City and Deer Valley real estate market must also mirror the amount of people visiting after the ski areas close for the season.
