Monthly Market Update for January 2014

Jackson Hole, WY

What Sold in January 2014? 

  • 38% :: Percentage of single family home sales (down from last month’s 46%)
  • 29% :: Percentage of condo/townhome sales (down again from 36% last month)
  • 33% :: Percentage of Land Sales (more than double the typical month)
  • 0% :: Percentage of distressed property sales (NO bank sales and NO short sales in January)
  • 29% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for over $1 million (similar last month’s 27%)
  • 71% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $1 million (similar to 73% in Dec)
  • 38% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $500,000 (down from 42% in Dec)

What it means: When analyzing “what” sold in Teton County in Jan 2014, the most unique statistic was the high percentage of land sales. There were 8 lot sales in January which represented 1/3 of all transactions. The amount of land sales isn’t that uncommon (in the past 12 months there have been 6 months with at least 8 land sales), however what is unique about this month is that while overall sales dropped (see Summary Blog) land sales remained steady (between 6 and 10 sales per month). Overall, land tends to sell more in the spring/summer months, but there have been 17 lots sales in Teton County since the snow started flying. Notable land sales in January included a Granite Ridge homesite (listed at $2.95 million) and a lot at Shooting Star (listed for $3.3 million) in Teton Village, 2 lots in the new King Eider development in Rafter J and a lot out in Kelly (listed for $349,000).

The month of January did not include a short sale or a bank sale after 2-5 such sales every month since October. Currently there are only 2 distressed properties for sale under $1 million – a fixer upper 3 bedroom condo in E Jackson for $352,000 and a 2 bedroom condo in W Jackson for $249,900. Note there are two higher end short sales also on the market – Game Creek Ranch ($1.495m) and an interesting ‘castle’ like property down Fish Creek Rd, listed for $1,500,000, which is pictured below.

“What” sold in the Jackson Hole Real Estate market in August 2013?

Monthly Market Update for September 2013

Jackson Hole, WY

What Sold in August 2013? 

  • 54% :: Percentage of single family home sales (an 8% increase over last month)
  • 28% :: Percentage of condo/townhome sales (vs. 31% last month)
  • 16% :: Percentage of Land Sales (similar to last month’s 18%)
  • 6.5% :: Percentage of distressed property sales (remains under 10%)
  • 36% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for over $1 million (vs. 27% in Aug)
  • 64% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $1 million (vs. 73% in Aug)
  • 30% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $500,000 (vs. 42% in Aug)

What it means: In the month of August we saw a shift in the breakdown of types of properties sold. Single family homes sales gained 8% to make up over 1/2 of all sales in August, while condo/townhome sales dropped to 28% of all sales. Not only did August see more single family homes sales, but it saw more higher end single family home sales. Over 1/3 of all properties sold this month were in excess of $1,000,000. Six properties were in excess of $2 million. Conversely, the share of properties selling UNDER $500,000 is dropping, making up only 30% of all sales this month (see Chart below). The average sales price for single family homes in August was $1.7 million. Compare that to the average sales price of $475,000 for condos & townhomes last month. Obviously the Grand Teton Estate auction sale ($19.25m) helped to push up the average, but even without that sale the average sales price was $1.18 million, still much higher than last month’s single family home average price of $893,000.

Monthly Market Update for July 2013

Jackson Hole, WY   

What Sold in June 2013? 

  • 46% :: Percentage of single family home sales (consistent with the past several months)
  • 26% :: Percentage of condo/townhome sales (down from May – 37%)
  • 26% :: Percentage of Land Sales (up again from last month)
  • 10% :: Percentage of distressed property sales (same as last month)
  • 32% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for over $1 million (vs. 26% in May)
  • 68% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $1 million (vs. 74% in May)
  • 41% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $500,000 (vs. 44% in May)

 

What it means:  Despite a drop in sales volume and transactions this month, many other indicators suggest this month was in line with previous months in terms of ‘what’ sold in Jackson Hole. Single Family home sales continue to make up just under ½ of all sales, sales under $500,000 hovered around 40% and distressed property sales (short sales and bank sales) continue to make up 10% of all sales in June. One exception is Land Sales, which made up 26% of all sales this month (see chart above). Over the past several months, the sale of building sites has continued to increase (both in # of transactions and % of total sales), a strong indicator that the real estate market is back in full swing (See chart below).
