2025 is officially here and this week we are taking out our crystal balls to peer into the future of what’s in store for luxury real estate in Park City. While no one can predict with absolute certainty what the future will hold, there are numerous trends we saw in 2024 that could provide clues as to what the next 12 months might bring.
Here’s what we think the luxury real estate market in Park City will look like in 2025.
As always, for specific advice unique to your situation, please get in touch with an expert.
Inventory Will Be Scarce
Simply looking at the year-over-year inventory comparison between 2023 and 2024, we can see that the amount of active inventory is down. In Park City limits, inventory is down 32% over the previous year, while the Greater Park City area is down about 16%. We predict 2025 will be another year with limited supply in the area.
Median Prices Will Continue to Rise
Another trend we saw in 2024 was an increase to the median home price. Since inventory, and therefore sales, were down, we can deduce that homes in Park City are rising in value. In 2025, we have every reason to believe prices will continue to rise.
There are still deals to be had in Park City and Deer Valley. Here are a few more posts you might find interesting:

Deer Valley East Village Could Change the Local Market
Deer Valley’s newest development is generating a lot of buzz. With increased demand for these properties, and only a limited number of homes available, it could result in a greater increase in home values in other areas of Deer Valley and Park City. When it comes to investing in a luxury property in Park City or Deer Valley, our recommendation is always to buy sooner rather than later to reap the benefits of your investment.

The Cost of Construction Will Rise
A persistent trend we saw in 2024 was a steady rise in the cost of construction. With more expensive building materials and labor costs, prices for new construction homes in Park City also increase. This will likely continue into 2025, and could result in more buyers looking to the existing home market, rather than buying new construction properties.

Interest Rates Will Remain Status Quo
Most financial experts agree that we won’t see a significant decrease in interest rates this year. Currently, the average interest rate for 30-year fixed mortgage is around 7%. The National Association of Home Builders estimate interest rates averaging around 6.36% for a 30-year fixed mortgage in 2025 and just below 6% in 2026. Overall, quite moderate changes.

Activity Will Move Outward
There is a finite amount of land in Park City available for new developments, and we’re starting to reach the limit. As such, most new developments will be outside of town. In 2025 we should see increased activity in the areas surrounding Park City and Deer Valley. Increased demand could also result in price increases in these areas.

Park City is a sought-after vacation destination meaning you should see steady occupancy and higher room rates in 2025.
