Setting the right list price for your home is a crucial first step in the selling process. In the unique Park City and Deer Valley real estate markets, pricing requires a combination of local expertise, market analysis, and strategic thinking. Your REALTOR® will work with you to determine a competitive list price based on:
✓ Market conditions
✓ Comparable sales (CMA)
✓ Pricing trends and buyer demand
✓ Your financial goals and desired net proceeds
The Park City market includes a diverse range of properties, from historic Old Town homes to luxury ski-in/ski-out estates. Even within the same neighborhood, pricing can vary significantly due to differences in finishes, views, location, and amenities.
A well-priced home will generate strong interest, reduce time on market, and help avoid the need for future price reductions.
While many properties sell within 90-100% of asking price, some unique and high-demand properties can sometimes sell above list price.
Pricing your property right from the get go can be very beneficial. While it makes sense to test the market at times, the right pricing strategy is important.
Overpricing your home may result in fewer showings, prolonged time on the market, and ultimately, lower offers which can end up leading to selling lower than intended. Even if you’re open to “any offer,” a high price may prevent your home from ever being seen.
While everyone’s circumstances may be different, underpricing can attract immediate attention, but may leave money on the table, especially in high-demand areas. While underpricing can sometimes create bidding wars, it’s not a guarantee and may not be the right strategy for every property.
A strong pricing strategy is based on detailed market knowledge. Since Utah is a non-disclosure state, partnering with a local REALTOR® is essential for accessing accurate sales data.
Your REALTOR® will prepare a CMA using recent comparable sales, active and expired listings. This helps establish a competitive price point.
In unique or low-activity areas, a formal written appraisal may be recommended. This is especially useful in cases of co-ownership disagreements or unique property types.

No matter how attractive and polished your house is, buyers will be comparing its price with everything else on the market.
Your REALTOR® can furnish data on sales figures for those comparable sales and analyze them to help you come up with a suggested listing price. The decision about how much to ask, though, is always yours.
The list of comparable sales a REALTOR® brings to you, along with data about other houses in your neighborhood that are presently on the market, is used for a “Comparative Market Analysis” (CMA). To help in estimating a possible sales price for your house, the analysis will also include data on nearby houses that failed to sell in the past few months, along with their list prices.
in several ways. One major difference is that an appraisal will be based only on past sales. Also, an appraisal is done for a fee while the CMA is provided by your REALTOR® and may include properties currently listed for sale and those currently pending sale. For the average home sale, a CMA probably gives enough information to help you set a proper price.
