Barron's magazine named Park City as "One of the Ten Best Places to Own a Second Home." The cover story on the March 8, 2010 edition states that luxury home prices are starting to rise as bargain hunters swoop in. The article goes on to state many of the things that make Park City a special place; and they note that it isn't just about the great skiing. It is the summers of golfing, mountain biking, fly fishing, boating, hiking, great restaurants, shopping and the bonus that Park City is less than 30 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport. The Barron's article also suggests that prices may be near the bottom and points to the recovering stock market and stabilization of housing markets in many major cities nationwide as an impetus for the renewed interest in luxury second homes. The article claims that Park City pricing is off by 45%. The YouInParkCity.com Group of Keller Williams Park City Real Estate agents has commented that this is true in some Park City areas, but not all of them.

Quite the contradiction. While they're... Comments: 0
