How do you pick a Utah realtor you can trust? A fast callback usually tells you about an agent's marketing, not their results.

The checks worth making: confirm what "local" really means for your part of Utah, verify the license and ask what they've closed in the last 12 months in your area and price range, read the buyer agreement before you sign, and ask every agent you interview how they'd talk a client out of a purchase.

Retiring in Utah: is it the right move for you? We break down taxes (including how Social Security is treated), where the hospitals are, how elevation and winter affect daily life, the areas worth a look, and the home features that catch retirees off guard.

Which part of Utah are you most curious about for retirement?

Two Park City homes, same neighborhood, same size, built the same year. One sold in a weekend with multiple offers. The other sat for months and sold for a lot less.

Desirability here comes down to four things: access to the mountains, access to town, how a home handles a winter, and how hard it is to replace. We walk through Deer Valley, Old Town, Park Meadows, Canyons Village, the Snyderville Basin, Glenwild and Promontory, plus the micro-location test to run before you write an offer.

Which Park City neighborhood are you most curious about?

Promontory, Tuhaye or Victory Ranch? Before you compare the club fees, compare what sits around them.

Each Park City private club community offers a different kind of mountain life, and the real ten year cost depends on annual dues, build costs, transfer terms and what happens when you sell, not just the entry number.

Most families who move to Utah from California or Texas love it here. A few move back, and almost every reason could have been caught before they signed a contract.

I break down the things worth testing first: your real monthly numbers (not just the sale price), what January looks like, whether both partners have a reason to be here, the day-to-day trade-offs, the house itself, and the biggest one of all, distance from the people you love.

Moving to Utah in 2027? Before you send a dollar of earnest money, here are six things worth knowing. Mortgage rates are back over 7%, homes are sitting longer, and a few Utah rules around property taxes, water and wildfire insurance change the math on a purchase.

One example: when a home has sat for 50 to 60 days, the seller is often more open to helping with your payment than cutting the price. Put toward a rate buydown, the same $20,000 can save more per month than taking it off the price, depending on your lender's pricing.

Thinking about moving to Utah? These are the ten questions we hear the most, from what it costs to whether you'll actually use the outdoors.

A couple of highlights: Utah ranks number 32 in the country for overall affordability, and housing is where the sticker shock comes from. The average commute in the Salt Lake City metro area is 22 minutes.

What's your biggest question about the move?

10/10/2026

Earlier this week I did a buyer tour for someone moving here from Orange County. She was standing in her kitchen two states away, about to put an offer on a house. I was looking at a water stain the size of a dinner plate above a bathroom the listing photos skipped.

Buying a Park City home from out of state comes down to seven steps and the order you take them in: decide how you'll use the home, line up financing, build your team, make the scouting trip count, shop from home without trusting the photos, write the offer, then use the due diligence window.

That last one matters most. It usually runs 10 to 14 days, and it's the only time you can find a problem and walk away cleanly.

Where are you buying from, and which step worries you most?

There's a line near Park City you can't see from any road, and it's one of the most expensive things about buying up here. Summit County and Wasatch County share the same mountains and the same reservoir, but not the same rules, tax stack or resale picture.

Year to date, median days on market were about 20 in Park City proper and about 158 around Jordanelle. That's a product story, not a market weakness story: roughly 60% of Jordanelle sales are new construction, and resellers there can end up competing with builders still delivering new phases.

Forget the purchase price for a second. What does a Park City home cost you every year you own it, and when you're done with it, who buys it from you?

We broke down the six-line annual carry on a $2.5 million second home, the real short-term rental math, what altitude does to a building, and why the property with the widest exit is the one to buy.
