In a perfect world, it is always better to sell your home first for the highest possible price, then rent for a while until you find the perfect replacement home. By using this strategy, you are able to move quickly when you find your perfect home, and can negotiate a better price because you won’t need to buy the new home subject to selling your current one.

JAY HAMBURGER/PARK RECORD Park City Councilor Steve Joyce chats with Rhoda Stauffer, who is the affordable housing program manager at City Hall, at an event at the Park City Library designed to provide information about the municipal government’s workforce or otherwise affordable housing program.

The couple, like so many other rank-and-file workers, is essentially priced out of Park City’s resort-driven real estate market. Nash and Espaillat on Monday attended an event at the Park City Library hosted by City Hall and the not-for-profit Mountainlands Community Housing Trust. It was designed to provide information about City Hall’s workforce or otherwise affordable housing program at a time when the municipal government is preparing to select buyers for the first phase of the Woodside Park development in the northern reaches of Old Town, along Park Avenue and Woodside Avenue. “We can’t afford regular housing, so this is helping out,” Espaillat said. He described that the wealthy are buying places that are sold on the open market in Park City, making it more difficult for the rank-and-file workers. The couple intends to, ideally, seek to acquire a three-bedroom unit in a City Hall project. Nash said the availability of City Hall-developed housing for the workforce is “attractive to locals” and officials are responding to the wishes of community members. “I feel heard,” Nash said, Please see Housing, A-4 After 27 years you thought we only do braces, but Invisalign has played a major role in creating beautiful smiles!
