Sundance Film Festival 2014

Hope you're all enjoying a spectacular Sundance film festival so far this week?

Live at Montage

Montage Deer Valley graciously hosts a series of live music shows during Sundance.  

You should have seen the look on my 4 yr old son's face as he watched the legendary John Popper put on a virtuoso harmonica performance!  The man has serious talent--nice guy too.  We had the opportunity visit with him before the show.  Thanks for bring your gifts to Sundance again this year, John!

PS  Special thanks to the Montage Deer Valley sales team for hosting the VIP lounge :)

Just ran a quick snapshot of all of the pending & closed sales in Deer Valley since January 1st.

It's not surprising that buyers are getting frustrated finding quality properties in the higher end of the Deer Valley marketplace over $3 million.  In the first 9 months of 2013, 36 properties over $3M have pended/sold across Deer Valley, including Deer Crest, Empire Pass, Upper Deer Valley, and Lower Deer Valley.

Warning:  If you're getting a loan for a real estate purchase in Park City or Deer Valley during the shutdown, beware these pitfalls....

I just spoke with a friend who owns a mortgage company here in Park City about how the US Government shutdown could impact real estate in Park City & Deer Valley. 

Fannie & Freddie loans can still be processed to a certain extent, as these entities are open for business.  However, there are still potential challenges for these conforming loans.  See below for details...
