Wasatch Back Quarterly Market Reports 2019 Year End | Page 2
ABOUT THIS REPORT
This comprehensive 2019 annual report provides an overview of the
Summit and Wasatch County real estate markets. We believe it’s important
that our clients have access to information that facilitates thoughtful real
estate decisions. These markets remain highly segmented. Our town, its
neighborhoods and outlying areas differ significantly in terms of price,
home type, home condition, features, and amenities.
The Ikon and Epic ski passes continue to bring new visitors to our
amazing part of the country. Vail Resorts remains committed to Park
City Mountain, focusing on upgrades throughout Canyons Village. We
believe these and other factors will continue to drive our markets in
a positive direction. Additionally, we anticipate significant activity in
the Mayflower area over the coming years with positive benefits for
our community. In the meantime, our clients continue to find numerous
buying opportunities in Summit and Wasatch Counties, especially with
the continued growth around the Jordanelle and into the Heber Valley.

As we launch into 2020, economists and business professionals are
debating if we will see a downturn in our economy. While a correction is
inevitable, we believe real estate will not lead the way as it did in 2008.
The cause of that correction was a bubble in the housing market created
by lack of discipline and oversight in the mortgage industry. Historically,
housing does quite well in lower interest rate environments.
Current positive indicators for real estate include:
1. Near historical low interest rates
2. Relative global “safety” in US investments
3. The strength of Utah’s economy and population growth
4. Generally constrained inventory
Real estate remains a very local business. Data interpretation, judgement
and historical context are key elements to making informed real estate
decisions. Contact your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Utah
Properties agent for guidance on navigating our complex micro-markets.

*Data as of 1/6/2020
*Please note small sample size in some instances.
For all data, we have used median sales price and average sales price. The median is the middle point
of all prices—half the sales are less than the median and half the sales are more. The average is all the
property prices added together and then divided by the number of properties. The difference between
the median and the average is that the median is not as affected by outlying very large or very small sale
numbers, whereas the average can be skewed significantly by one very high or very low sales price. We
believe it’s important to use both median and average in order to give a holistic view of the market.
