“Headlines” are meant to stop us in our tracks. What you really need is someone to help tell you the story behind the news. Here’s what you actually need to know from the Park City Board of Realtors Q2 2026 stats:
- $25 million. One buyer. One house. One sale. Empire Pass’s average shifted overnight.
Empire Pass, located in Deer Valley, recorded exactly one Single Family Home transaction in Q2 2026… It sold for $25 million. That single sale technically makes Empire Pass’s “average price” $25 million for Q2. A good reminder that averages lie when the sample size is low! In the ultra-luxury tier, a single buyer can move an entire area’s statistics. Doesn’t context always matter more than the headline?
- A neighborhood that didn’t exist in data a year ago, just posted 41 sales.
South Jordanelle went from 3 land transactions in Q2 2025 to 41 in Q2 2026. A jump so large it’s up over 1,200% in units and over 1,600% in dollar volume, to $58.2 million. Why? This reflects new construction and new master-planned communities in the area. It’s not a fluke: the rolling 12-month numbers confirm sustained activity, not a one-quarter blip. Are you up to speed on this neighborhood?
- One area went from 25 condo sales to zero.
Heber North logged 25 condo sales in Q2 2025. In Q2 2026: zero. Heber Valley condos overall fell 64% in units and 62% in volume. It’s the single sharpest drop, and it’s worth watching closely. It may be genuine buyer hesitation at the more affordable end of the market, or a timing gap while new inventory catches up. Which one do you think it is?
- Land sales grew nearly 8 times faster than single-family sales.
Single-family units were up a modest 6% year-over-year. Land units were up 46% for the quarter. Land doesn’t usually catch headlines the way homes do, but it’s quietly become the market’s clearest confidence signal. Are buyers acquiring land today, placing bets on where Park City will be in 2027 and beyond?
- Prices went up 9% while sales barely moved.
Across the rolling 12 months, total transaction count grew less than 1%. But, total dollar volume rose 9%, to $5.73 billion. Roughly the same number of deals are happening… they’re just bigger deals. The Wasatch Back market isn’t getting busier. It’s getting more valuable. What’s the quiet story these stats are telling us?
Any agent can generate a report with numbers. Any client can ask Google or AI to review statistics. But what actually matters is having an expert who can interpret that data, explain what it means, and help you ask the best questions. When making real estate decisions, confidence at the closing table is what you really need. Connect with Liza Story for more.
