Hey Friends, A quick life update!
I closed on a house in Park City Utah 🎉
Check it out:
Some stats about the house:
- 6 bedrooms
- Hot tub + Cold plunge + Sauna
- 5 minutes to Deer Valley, 15 minutes to Park City, 45 mins to the airport
It’s an average 70 degrees in Park City in the summer!
There are 3 partners, so the plan is to rent it 1/4 of the year and we each get to use it 1/4 of the year.
Main Reasons I Did This
1) I have been obsessed with the idea of a vacation home for several years, I had originally told my partner/friend I needed to back burner it because I likely had surgery coming up. Then I realized I was so myopically focused on treatment and this would be something fun to look forward to. It's been a positive distraction!
2) It's a great forcing function to get a big house where friends and family can come hang for some quality time
3) Market timing is great - we were able to negotiate a good deal and I anticipate the market will go back to a seller's market in the near future so not sure we could have gotten a house like this if we had waited
4) Hopefully it leads to more skiing!
5) Heat Map Theory
A very hot day in June
When I'm in Austin (or NYC) in the summer I would often think "It's SOO HOT, must be so much cooler so many places" ... but it's not. As it continues to get hotter the few places that are cool in the summer are going to become more popular. And most of the population of the US lives somewhere that is hot.
I wanted a cool place to spend a month in the summer.
