<h3>Record Land Sale in Deer Valley, Utah</h3>

<p><strong>Deer Valley just witnessed the most expensive single-family residential lot sale to date&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>The lot was a resale lot that was originally purchased from the high-end developer Talisker three years ago.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Lot #22 Red Cloud just sold for a cool $5 mil.</strong> </p>
<p>Check out the view from lot 22 in this photo to the right:</p>

<h3>What Does $5 Million Buy You in Empire Pass, Deer Valley?</h3>
<p><strong><img border="0" align="left" width="400" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/red-cloud-lot-22-small.jpg" hspace="20" alt="Red Cloud Deer Valley" height="300" />Lot 22 in Red Cloud is a 1.32 acre parcel with excellent ski-in/ski-out access and amazing views to the East and North.</strong> </p>
<p>From this lot you&#8217;ll notice Deer Valley landmarks like Bald Mountain, Bald Eagle, and <a href="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/2008/01/25/which-properties-in-park-city-deer-valley-generate-the-best-cash-flow/" title="Stein Eriksen Lodge is a Deer Valley Favorite!">Stein Eriksen Lodge.</a></p>
<p><strong>What makes this area command such a premium price over other neighborhoods in Deer Valley?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Scarcity Creates Value.</strong>  There are only 30 lots in the gated Red Cloud neighborhood.</p>
<p>Aside from the privacy, the beautiful forested setting, and perfect ski access at Deer Valley Resort, residents of Red Cloud can apply for membership in the exclusive Talisker Club. </p>
<h3>Talisker Club Amenities Create Massive Value</h3>
<p>Talisker Club membership allows owners to access private amenities at Deer Valley Resort (like the Talisker Tower Club and Red Cloud Cabin&#8211;a private restaurant for owners), and off-mountain amenities like fly-fishing on private waters, and golf at the esteemed <a target="_blank" href="http://www.parkcityrealestateguide.com/talisker-club-park-city.html" title="O'meara's Tuhaye Course Was Ranked a Top-Ten Course by Golf Digest ">Talisker Club at Tuhaye</a>.</p>
<h3><img align="right" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/red-clound-home-9-small.jpg" alt="Red Cloud Home" />Red Cloud Deer Valley is Taking Shape</h3>
<p><strong>Three homes are currently under construction in Red Cloud.</strong> </p>
<p>One of them is pictured in the photo to the right.  It&#8217;s situated along the slope of the Bandanna ski run at Deer Valley Resort.</p>
<p><strong>Two of the homes are private residences, and the third is a Spec Home that will be framed this spring.</strong></p>

<h3>Park City Utah Condo Prices Still Rising </h3>
<p><img align="right" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/park_city_condo_sales_1999-2008.png" alt="Park City Condo Sales Stats" />We&#8217;re not kidding! </p>
<p><strong>So much for the real estate doom and gloom we read about every day in the national media.</strong> </p>
<p>Check out this chart&#8230;</p>
<p>It shows average and median sales prices for Condos in Old Town (MLS area #1) Park City, Utah over the past 10 years.</p>
<p><strong>Not quite what you expected to see, particularly in the 2007 and 2008 years?</strong></p>
<p align="left">How can this be? </p>

<h3>Every Regional Real Estate Market has its Own Local &#8220;&#8216;DNA.&#8221;  </h3>
<p>We know genetics professors in the crowd will cringe at the analogy, but it&#8217;s not a crazy way to look at real estate markets.</p>
<p><strong>Each local real estate market around the country has a two main driving forces&#8211;Supply and Demand.</strong> </p>
<p>The relative amounts of each of these factors will create a different expression of prices and price momentum.  </p>
<p>Areas with massive over-supply might see&#8221;foreclosure bus tours&#8221; but it doesn&#8217;t mean every market in the USA is spiraling downward.  Properties with scarce supply and high demand will prices climbing higher and higher. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s why properties like the <a href="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/2008/02/26/dakota-mountain-lodge/">Waldorf=Astoria Dakota Mountain Lodge and Golden Door Spa </a>at The Canyons has sold more than 30 residences YTD in 2008, at average prices that continue to increase rapidly.</p>
<h3> &#8221;What&#8217;s The Story Behind The Extraordinary Appreciation rates in Park City, Utah?&#8221;</h3>
<p><img align="left" width="434" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/old_town_park_city_appreciation_rates_-_condos.png" alt="Old Town Condo Appreciation Rates" height="310" />Simply put, it&#8217;s not reasonable to assume that the value of every property in the Park City market has appreciated at the rates in the Table here.</p>
<p><strong>New Construction Is Booming in Park City.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a fact that the type and quality of condos available today are totally different from what was available in the late 1990&#8217;s.</p>
<p>There was nothing like the <a href="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/2008/04/02/park-city-condos-at-silver-star/">Silver Star </a>development at the base of Park City Mountain Resort.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the story with the big drop in Old Town Park City Condo appreciation in the year 2003?</strong>  </p>

<p>Sometimes local events that have big impacts locally, and cause local market conditions to operate on a totally different curve than what&#8217;s happening nationally.</p>
<p><strong>Remember that little-known event Utah hosted in February of 2002&#8211;The Winter Olympic games?</strong></p>
<p>The years leading up to the Olympics were a time of enthusiastic speculation by local builders.  Supply exceeded demand, and so prices dropped correspondingly.</p>

<h3 align="left">Remaining Silver Star Properties Will Be Completed Soon</h3>
<p align="left"><a href="http://" title="Silver Star Cottages"><img border="2" align="left" width="385" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/silver-star-home.JPG" hspace="20" alt="Silver Star Cottage" height="277" style="width: 284px; height: 178px" /></a>The developers are hoping to have all owners residing in their properties by the end of July.</p>
<p><a href="http://" title="Silver Star Cottages"></a>The Stacked Flat 3 building is now completed and being fully enjoyed by its owners, and Townhome 4 is also finished and owners are now moving in.</p>
<p>Cottages 7,8,9 and 10 will be completed by early April, 2008.</p>
<p>“In effect, we’re delivering over 18% of all Silver Star units this month alone,” marvels Silver Star principle, Chris Conabee.</p>
<h3>Silver Star Amenities are Open</h3>
<p>The project amenities are also falling neatly into place.</p>
<p><strong>The outdoor pool and hot tub, as well as the cardio room—complete with state-of-the-art equipment—opened this spring.</strong></p>
<p>The owner’s lockers are finished, as are the public restrooms.</p>
<h3>Spiro Arts Artist-in-Residence</h3>
<p><img border="2" vspace="5" align="left" width="351" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/silver-star-artist-in-residence.JPG" hspace="15" alt="Silver Star Artist Studio" height="213" style="width: 279px; height: 174px" /><strong>One compelling benefit that the Silver Star neighborhood offers is a connection with the local art and film scene.</strong> </p>
<p>In  collaboration with the University of Utah College of Humanities - Silver Star will be home to a summertime Artist-in-Residence program, which offers Silver Star residents and visitors classes, lectures and forums for exploration of the arts.</p>
<p><strong>The restored historic mining building to the left will host the Artist-in-Residence program,</strong> which will include a facility for office and studio space, as well as residences for a small number of artists during the spring and summer months.</p>
<p>During the winter months, the Sundance Institute will utilize the live/work spaces for its seasonal Festival staff.   </p>
<h3>Silver Star Commercial Space Update</h3>
<p><a href="http://" title="Future Sports Equipment Rental Shop at Silver Star"></a><a href="http://" title="Sundance Institute Headquarters at Silver Star"><img border="2" align="left" width="399" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/sundance-institute.JPG" hspace="20" alt="Sundance Institute" height="240" style="width: 280px; height: 164px" /></a></p>
<p>Silver Star features a limited amount of commercial space in addition to the residential component. </p>
<p><strong>The Sundance Institute moved into their new building in late 2007.</strong></p>
<p><strong>A sports equipment and rental shop, to be located on the north side of the plaza, across from the ticket sales office is also in the works.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://" title="Future Sports Equipment Rental Shop at Silver Star"><img border="2" align="right" width="338" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/silver-star-commercial-space.JPG" hspace="20" alt="Silver Star Park City Commercial Space" height="186" /></a>By offering ski and snowboard rentals in the winter, and bike rentals in the summer, as well as sports clothing, gear and accessories, the shop will make <a href="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/2007/12/11/equipment-rentals-in-park-city-and-deer-valley/">equipment rental </a>easy for Silver Star owners and guests.</p>
<p><a href="http://" title="Sundance Institute Headquarters at Silver Star"></a></p>
<p><strong>The developers are hoping to create an upscale country store and deli/cafe with a friendly and casual atmosphere.</strong> </p>
<p>Silver Star’s developers are currently in negotiations with food service providers regarding the operation of the on-site general store and café, located on the southeast corner of the central plaza.</p>
<h3>Resale Market in Silver Star is Hot</h3>
<p><strong>Because of the limited supply and overwhelming demand, the developers of Silver Star did not restrict pre-constrcution resales/assignments of original contracts.</strong></p>
<p>Silver Star did hit the market at the right time, with the right product mix, in the right location, and the right quality. </p>
<p><strong>Still, we&#8217;re not aware of any new developments in Park City in the past 10 years with such a superior short-term track record of re-sales.</strong></p>
<p><strong> Here is the link to see a currently available inventory of developer-offered and resale </strong><a href="http://www.searchpoint.net/list.asp?_account=idd&amp;_sponsor_type=Agent&amp;_account_id=utpcbr-r_3460&amp;_trace=0&amp;_org_id=utpcbr-r&amp;_pType=1&amp;_any_f=0&amp;_any_v=0&amp;_ver=5&amp;res_property_type=TWN,CON,COO,COOP,OYO,TWNHS,CONDO,NSF,CTH&amp;*neighborhood*=Silver%20Star&amp;_agent_email=erik@pureutah.com&amp;_menusOrig=99&amp;_adv_srch=0&amp;_slog_type=1&amp;_measuring_system=E&amp;property_type=RES&amp;_per_id=CBA4502CAEBD40508D80FC7A5AE9DF08&amp;_count=6&amp;_lid=0&amp;_wpid=1&amp;_new=1&amp;_agent_public_id=3460&amp;_sponsor_office_id=613&amp;_sponsor_org_id=utpcbr-r&amp;_start=1&amp;area=A1,A2" title="Available Silver Star Listings!"><strong>Silver Star Listings</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

<h3>Park City Home Buyers Rejoice&#8230;</h3>
<p>The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 Makes Borrowing Less Expensive!  Because the Park City, Utah area qualifies as a &#8220;high-cost&#8221; area, it received the maximum allowable increase under the new stimulus plan.</p>
<h3>The New &#8220;Conforming&#8221; Loan Limits Expire December 31st</h3>
<p>Between April 1st and December 31st, 2008 FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac &#8220;Conforming&#8221; loan limits in Summit County will be raised to $729,750.  In nearby Wasatch County, the &#8220;Conforming&#8221; limits were raised to $431,250.</p>
<p> This should open the door for Park City Home buyers to purchase or refinance their properties at &#8220;Conforming&#8221; loan rates, as opposed to paying &#8220;jumbo&#8221; loan rates.  In recent weeks, jumbo loans have carried about a one point premium in rates over conforming loan products.</p>
<p>This is good news for buyers, as the &#8220;Mortgage Crisis&#8221; has made real estate financing more difficult and more expensive in recent months. Here are the new <a href="https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm" title="Check Your County's Limits Here!">FHA Mortgage Limits </a>for every county in the USA.</p>

<h3>Ultra Luxury Hotel Under Construction in Deer Valley®, Utah </h3>
<p align="left"><strong><img align="right" width="350" src="http://blog.parkcityrealestateguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/montage-foundation.jpg" alt="Montage Deer Valley" height="243" />Montage&#8211;One of the world&#8217;s elite luxury hotel brands, just broke ground on an incredible new hotel-residence property in Deer Valley®, Utah.</strong></p>
<p>The Deer Valley® hotel is the third property in Montage&#8217;s collection of distinguished luxury hotels, resorts and residences.  <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Montage properties are known for their breath-taking natural locations, impressive design, unique ambiance, and the highest quality services and amenities.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In a couple of years,  the Stein Eriksen Lodge may face a little competition for luxury travelers headed to Deer Valley</strong>®<strong> Resort&#8230;</strong></p>
<h3>Montage Resort at Deer Valley®</h3>
<p><strong>The photo above illustrates the construction progress of the hotel as of March 23, 2008.  The setting is spectacular, with the  Daly Chutes, Empire Bowl and Lady Morgan Bowl as a scenic backdrop!</strong></p>
<p>The developers are tight-lipped about the specifics of the hotel, but here are a few elements that may be included:</p>
<ul class="unIndentedList">
<li>Guest rooms and suites</li>
<li>Restaurants</li>
<li>Lobby lounge</li>
<li>A Retail Shopping Experience</li>
<li>Meeting space for Groups and Special Events</li>
<li>Terraces and Outdoor Lawn Areas for Group Functions</li>
<li>A World-Class Resort Spa</li>
<li>Outdoor Swimming Pool with Bar &amp; Grill</li>
<li>Ski rental, ski concierge and Skier Services</li>
<li>Privately Owned Resort Residences</li>
<li>Discrete Underground Parking</li>
<li>Environmentally Sensitive &#8220;Green Building Philosophy&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h3>  </h3>
<h3>Deer Valley Montage Hotel Construction Timeline:</h3>
<p>Excavation and construction of the Montage site began in Summer of 2007 and completion is anticipated to occur in the summer of 2010.  If construction proceeds as planned, the hotel may be open for a winter 2010-2011 opening.</p>
<h3>Deer Valley Montage Resort Design Philosophy</h3>
<p><strong>The design theme for the Montage is reminiscent of the great mountain lodges of North America.  The Rocky Mountain Arts &amp; Crafts style that is prevalent in the Empire Pass master planned area will compliment the majestic beauty of the spectacular Upper Deer Valley</strong>®<strong> location.</strong></p>
<h3>The Montage Deer Valley Takes &#8220;Green Building&#8221; Seriously</h3>
<p><strong>The hotel will be designed, constructed and operated in accordance with environmentally responsible &#8220;green&#8221; features that will minimize the resort&#8217;s environmental footprint.</strong> </p>
<p><u></u></p>
<h3>Ownership at The Montage Resort at Deer Valley: Condos &amp; Residences</h3>
<p>The Montage Resort at Deer Valley® will include a number of whole-ownership luxury residences. Unit sizes and prices have not yet been released.</p>
<p><strong>It is anticipated that Montage Residences will go to market midway through construction in late 2008.</strong> <strong>Two different product types are planned&#8230;</strong></p>
<h3>Montage Hotel Condominium Suites</h3>
<p><strong>Fully-furnished condominium suites may range from two to four bedrooms.</strong> <strong>Some of the larger units may be configured with lock-off bedrooms that may be rented seperately from the main suite.</strong> </p>
<p>These Hotel Suite Condominiums are &#8220;turnkey&#8221; units that will have similar features and appointments as the hotel suites in the Montage.</p>
<h3>Penthouse Residence Units at Deer Valley Montage</h3>
<p><strong>The balance of the residences could be larger penthouse units generally configured as three, four, and five bedroom residences either fully-finished or ready to be custom furnished by the purchaser.</strong> </p>
<p>All of the Montage Residences will enjoy access to the Montage services and amenities, including the resort restaurants, spa, ski concierge, housekeeping, room service and maintenance support. </p>

<p>A New Gold Rush in Park City, Utah?</h3>
<p><strong>In the past two years, top international boutique luxury hotel brands St. Regis and Montage have started construction on spectacular new hotels in Deer Valley.</strong></p>
<p>Today&#8217;s Waldorf=Astoria announcement is a powerful vote of confidence in the bright future of The Canyons® Resort. </p>
<p><strong>Developers are placing big bets on assorted new developments at the base of The Canyons Resort,</strong> and the arrival of the venerable Waldorf=Astoria name may be an indicator of exciting future of Park City&#8217;s largest ski resort.</p>
<h3>Will Luxury Icon Deer Valley® Resort Have to Compete with The Canyons® Resort for Tomorrow&#8217;s Luxury Ski Visitors?</h3>
<p>Over the years, Deer Valley has succeeded in attracting luxury ski vacationers and second home owners on the strength of snow grooming, dining, and pampering guests. </p>
<p><strong>Local luxury developer Talisker is in the process of purchasing The Canyons Resort® from American Skiing Company.</strong>  This raises the question of what The Canyons might look like in the years ahead, and will The Canyons emerge as a competitor for Deer Valley&#8217;s business in the luxury segment of the market.</p>
<h3>Dakota Lodge Phase II Release Coincides with Waldorf=Astoria Announcement</h3>
<p><strong>Sales at Dakota Mountain Lodge have been strong to date</strong>&#8211;79 units in Building One are pending sale so far at Dakota. </p>
<p><strong>The developer has just released the first condos in building II</strong>, which will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.</p>
