Overall, the Park City real estate market stable; slight increases in volume and prices. Single Family home transactions year-over-year are up a bit. Condo sales are down somewhat. Vacant Land activity is very strong, with prices stable.
- • Gated communities, such as Promontory, show continued robust sales.
- • Homes priced below median sell much more rapidly than a house priced above median.
- • Median prices in city limits are up 15% year-over-year.

" My wife and I have moved every 24 months for 20 years. We know how to buy and sell property, and one of our secrets is to work with the top producer in the area. I tracked Carol down while we were living in Zurich. I could tell from the first call that she listened well. She showed us properties that were exactly like what we had requested. Carol ensured that we included some key provisions in the purchase contract that other less fortunate owners forgot to include when they bought. I only recommend people who have earned my respect, trust, and who deliver outstanding service. "
Chris Thompson
" Of all the individuals who have supported our six real estate transactions over the past 17 years (including in Manhattan), Carol and her exceptional level of professionalism have vastly surpassed our expectations. In every one of the dozen-plus homes we visited, Carol was greeted by the sellers’ agent with friendliness and relief. More than once, the agent mentioned how easy and efficient Carol was to work with. In a field rife with competition and potentially charged situations, her network of satisfied counterparts is seemingly endless, underscoring a strongly positive reputation that borders on being a local institution in herself. Carol pairs the tireless resourcefulness of an expert saleswoman with the natural authenticity of someone who builds community. "

Schools and Education
A Town Committed to Top Quality Education
Validation from an independent source about the caliber of the educational offerings in Park City comes from Newsweek which has ranked Park City High School among the top 200 high schools in America since 2004. Park City High School offers a complete high school curriculum and an extensive selection of AP (Advanced Placement) courses. Language offerings include Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese. In conjunction with the AP curriculum and with the support of members of the community, PCHS has offered school sponsored trips to Europe and China.
Core curriculum for the public middle schools covers language arts (writing and reading), math, science, social studies (history), healthy lifestyles (health and physical education) and information technology (computers). Expanded curriculum includes drama, music, band, French & Spanish, visual arts, dance, shop, home economics, and life skills classes. Outdoor education programs allow students to experience nature and hiking as well as learning about environmental issues through slides, lectures and hands-on projects.
All of the Park City public schools offer the state regulated core curriculum. Each of the public elementary schools are required to offer reading, math, science and social studies, and several of the schools offer dual immersion programs in Spanish and English or French and English. Park City public schools also offer physical education and computer classes in grades 1 through 5.
The Park City School District is supported by the community in its efforts to make sure the students in the district receive the best education possible, whatever their chosen path. As a case in point, Utah permits communities to vote additional taxation to provide augmented funding for its local schools. Park City has voted twice to approve these measures, which is the permissible limit for this program.
Further evidence of the community’s support for education is the commitment and contributions of the Park City Education Foundation. Over the past ten years, PCEF has raised over $4,000,000 which has funded pilot programs such as full day kindergarten, after school learning assistance programs, books, library additions, science and technology programs, and advanced teacher training. Few communities support education to level Park City does, and few student populations get as much out of their educational opportunities as do the kids in the Park City School District.
