  • Lot sales are down significantly (58%) with only 14 sales in the first quarter of 2016
  • Average sales price is up 16%
  • Overall available inventory dropped 5% from last year, however list prices remained consistent.

marketreport

As we approach the busy summer listing/selling season, the amount (and price) of new inventory will dictate future market values. The law of supply and demand will especially affect the sub $1 million segment, where current supply levels are very low compared to 2015, representing only 2 months of inventory. Whether you are a first time or seasoned home buyer, there are still opportunities out there, with many not listed in the MLS. If you are an active buyer, or looking to get into the Jackson Hole real estate market, please connect with me for an honest and comprehensive analysis of the current buying opportunities in our market.

As a Seller, the best strategy is to price your property competitively (based on the most comparable sales) and market it effectively, as buyers continue to be motivated by finding a good value.

In March, there were 17 new condo/townhome listings under $750,000, adding some much needed inventory to the entry level market. By April 10th, 8 of these new listings were already under contract, illustrating the high demand for properties in this price point. At the other end of the spectrum, there were 7 single family homes that hit the market priced in excess of $2 million including a recently remodeled home in the Gill Addition ($2.25m and pictured below), an equestrian estate in the Flat Creek Fishing Club ($3.96m) and a 5,400 sq ft home in Owl Creek listed for just under $6 million. Eight new lot listings hit the market in March including, 4 of which are located north of Town with great Teton views.

New inventory entering the market very low, even for January

The Colbert Real Estate Report

Monthly Market Update for February 2016

Jackson Hole, WY

What’s new in Jan 2016? (New Listing Analysis)

  • 25 :: Total number of new listings in January
    • Average List Price: $1,160,000
  • 22 new residential properties (single family, condo, townhome)
    • Average List Price: $1,200,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 2
  • 3 new building sites
    • Average List Price: $860,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 1

What it means: January saw a continued a trend of very little new inventory entering the market (not even 1 new listing per day!). Compare that to the peak of summer, when 80-120 new listings were hitting the market every month. While the winter months are usually slow for new listings, this winter we are seeing even fewer new listings compared to last year (see chart below). It is interesting to note that 3 of the “new” listing aren’t actually new at all, but back on the market with different real estate companies (new year, new realtor?).  Of those Sellers who listed their properties in January, the majority were close to the skiing activities in Teton Village, The Aspens/Pines and Snow King Resort. Five new listings hit the market in Teton Village including two condo-hotel units in Teton Mountain Lodge and a 3,400 sq foot Granite Ridge cabin (pictured below). At Snow King Resort, the inventory of Love Ridge condos went from 0 to 3, as several new units hit the market in January. The average listing price of new inventory dropped in January, thanks to several new entry level condos in Town, including a 2 bed/1 bath condo near Powderhorn Park for $349,000. Activity seems to be cooling a bit in January as only 3 of these new listings (or 8%) have gone under contract by Feb 10th, marking one of the lowest levels of activity in recent months. That being said, a rarely listed 3 bed / 3 bath / 1 car garage in The Aspens (listed at $990,000) and a commercial lot in Hoback (listed at $299,000) did go under contract quickly illustrating that well priced and/or high demand properties are selling quickly.  While low inventory levels may have contributed to rapidly rising values in 2015, we may be entering a phase of the market where transactions decline AND values are stagnant, or may even decline a bit. While I don’t for see a drop off like we saw several years ago, I do anticipate a slight market correction in 2016.   (If you are curious about the value of your property in the current market, please contact me for a free and honest analysis.) 

Notable new listings in January include:

  • Love Ridge condo at Snow King (1 of 3 new listings) – $1,350,000 – a list price not seen since the 2007 peak
  • Nicely remodeled and immaculately cared for 3 bedroom home in Town on Aspen Drive – $975,000
  • Two bed/1 bath condo near Lucky’s Market – priced below last comp at $349,000

Monthly Market Update for December 2015

Jackson Hole, WY

What’s new in Nov 2015? (New Listing Analysis)

  • 18 :: Total number of new listings in November
    • Average List Price: $1,400,000
  • 15 new residential properties (single family, condo, townhome)
    • Average List Price: $922,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 4
  • 3 new building sites
    • Average List Price: $1,900,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 1

What it means: November saw the fewest new listings hit the market in the past 12 months. On par with last November, this month typically sees very little new inventory. The average listing price of new inventory was higher than usual in November, thanks to 3 new lot listings over $1 million, with one over $3 million. Note that the average listing price of residential listing (not including land) was under $1 million.  As of December 10th, nearly 30% of these new listings are under contract or sold, illustrating that well priced listings are being snatched up very quickly. Given the low level of new inventory, sales last month exceed new listings for the first time since last November. Despite the opening of the Jackson Hole Mountain Ski Resort and the influx of visitors expected for the holidays, it’s apparent that very few sellers are entering the market. That being said, now may be a great time to sell a property as there is little to no new inventory (i.e. competition) coming onto the market. (Please contact me for a free in-depth analysis on the current market value of your property.) 

Notable new listings in November include:

  • Rare Creekside townhome on the creek – 3 bed / 2.5 bath / 2 car garage: $597,500
  • Three new Aspens condos (2-4 bedrooms) starting at $616,500 (one pictured below)
  • Half acre lot in Teton Village, currently the least expensive in the area: $1,350,000

Rate of new inventory continues to decline, now matches rate of inventory selling in Jackson Hole real estate market

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

The Colbert Real Estate Report

Monthly Market Update for October 2015

Jackson Hole, WY

What’s new in October 2015? (New Listing Analysis)

  • 46 :: Total number of new listings in Oct
    • Average List Price: $1,118,000
  • 36 new residential properties (single family, condo, townhome)
    • Average List Price: $1,300,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 4
  • 10 new building sites
    • Average List Price: $935,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 1

What it means: New listings hitting the market each month continue to drop since the height of the listing season in June, however compared to October 2014, we did see more new listings this year (36 v 46). The average listing price of new inventory dropped in October and was the lowest average in the past 8 months (see chart below). As of November 10th, only 11% of these new listings are under contract or sold. Compare that to last month where nearly 30% of the September new listings were under contract by mid October. The rate of new inventory coming onto the market in October was identical to inventory leaving the market (i.e. sales). This is the first time since November 2014 that new listings have NOT exceeded sales in any given month (see chart below). Fewer and fewer sellers choose to list their property in the winter months, believing that their property will show much better during the spring/summer when everything is green. That being said, now may be a great time to sell a property as there is not much new inventory (i.e. competition) coming onto the market. (Please contact me for a free in-depth analysis on the current market value of your property.) 

Notable new listings in October include:

  • A 2 bed / 2 bath single family home with 1 car garage and fenced backyard in Town: $607,500
  • Two building sites in Kelly with direct Teton views: $479,000 each
  • A 6,500 sq ft modern designed house atop Spring Creek Ranch: $15,000,000 (pictured below)

Entry level options disappear as upper-end home sales increase – Quarterly Update from The Jackson Hole Report

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Entry level home options (under $500,000) have all but disappeared in the Jackson Hole real estate market, while upper-end home sales (over $1 million) see impressive increases amid the recovery. 

The Jackson Hole Report, a quarterly market report prepared by my colleague David Viehman at RE/MAX Obsidian Real Estate, provides insights into the local real estate market through the end of the 3rd quarter. Click HERE to read the full 2015 Q3 Report.

After the first 9 months of 2015, the trend in the Jackson Hole real estate market seems to be this: the more expensive the price point of the home, the greater the increase in sale transactions and sales volume. Home sales over $1 million are up 27%; home sales over $3 million are up 36%; and homes selling for over $5 million are up a whopping 200% compared to this time last year.

Conversely, homes for sale under $500,000 are a thing of the past. For only the second time in Jackson Hole’s history, there are ZERO single family homes for sale under $500,000. The least expensive single family home for sale in Teton County is a 584 sq ft log cabin with a loft bedroom on 2.24 acres in Red Top Meadows, priced at $545,000. These prices push many first time homebuyers into the condo/townhome market, where less than half of the 24 condo/townhomes listed for sale under $500,000 have a garage. Even with low interest rates, Buyers still need to come up with a $75,000 – $100,000 down payment to avoid costly private mortgage insurance.

OVERALL MARKET

Compared to last year, the first 9 months of 2015 continued to show signs of a bullish market recovery with increases across the entire real estate market.

  • Number of Sale Transactions are up 11%
  • Overall dollar volume rose 40%
  • Average Sale Price increased by 27%
  • Nearly half (47%) of real estate transactions in Jackson Hole through Q3 2015 were cash sales (i.e. no financing)
  • 51% of available listings are priced under $1 million, with only 11% of all inventory priced under $500,000
  • Overall available inventory rose slightly (2%), with an average listing price of $2.7 million, however available inventory under $1 million continues to decline
  • High end sales are experiencing tremendous growth with a 66% increase in sales. Notably, 26 sales have occurred over $5 million, up 200% from last year.
ShootingStar

Shooting Star Cabin at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort – listed for $5.5 million and sold for an undisclosed price

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES

  • Single family home sales continue to gain steam, with transactions up 7% and dollar volume up 41%
  • Average Sale Price increased 32%
  • The $500,000 – $1 million segment saw the most sales (77) through the 3rd quarter, while the $1 -2 million range fared well too, with 62 sales so far this year
  • Most (28%) single family home sales occurred in the Town of Jackson, while 15 homes have sold in Rafter J in 2015
  • Available single family home listings are up 9%, with homes over $1 million up 11%, however the average listing price actually dipped 3% compared to this time last year
RafterJKingEider

Newly built home in Rafter J’s King Eider neighborhood was the most expensive sale in Rafter J in 2015, selling for more than $900,000

CONDO/TOWNHOME

  • Overall condo sales are up 7%, with condo sales over $1 million up 235%!
  • Condos and townhomes in Teton Village and Shooting Star accounted for 2/3 of the sales over $1 million
  • Average Sale Price is up 29%
  • Available inventory increased 25%, however inventory levels are still hovering at an eight year low
  • Active condo listings under $500,000 are down 61% compared to the high inventory levels seen in 2009
  • There are 24 available condos priced under $500,000, with only 3 condos are priced under $300,000
Pondo

2 bdrm condo in Town is one of only 3 available under $300,000

VACANT LAND

  • Lot sales continue to increase, with a 20% increase in transactions and a 54% increase in dollar volume compared to Q3 2014
  • Average Sale Price is up 29%
  • The majority (53%) of single family lot sales were over $1 million
  • Vacant land listings under $500,000 are disappearing, with only 13 currently on the market.

marketreport

As a first time home buyer in today’s market, it may seem that prices and values are becoming out of reach. Even as a seasoned home buyer, it is obvious that you can’t get as much as you once could in any given price range. That being said, there are still opportunities out there, with many not listed in the MLS. If you are an active buyer, or looking to get into the Jackson Hole real estate market, please connect with me for an honest and comprehensive analysis of the current buying opportunities in our market.

As a Seller, the best strategy is to price your property competitively (based on the most comparable sales) and market it effectively. If you are interested in a learning what your property could sell for in this market, please connect with me for a free, in-depth, data-driven market analysis.

Nearly 30% of new September inventory in Jackson Hole is already under contract

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

The Colbert Real Estate Report

Monthly Market Update for October 2015

Jackson Hole, WY

What’s new in September 2015? (New Listing Analysis)

  • 60 :: Total number of new listings in Sept (following a downward trend)
    • Average List Price: $1,945,000
  • 50 new residential properties (single family, condo, townhome)
    • Average List Price: $1,690,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 14
  • 10 new building sites
    • Average List Price: $2,200,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 2

What it means: New listings have been steadily declining since the height of the listing season in June.  In the month of September, properties were being listed at a rate similar to before the busy summer selling season, (however when compared to this time last year, we did see roughly 10 more new listings). As of October 15th, nearly 30% of the new listings were under contract including several that received multiple offers within days of hitting the market.  As the rate of new inventory coming onto the market slowed in September, it came close to matching the monthly sales for September, meaning that every property that sold last month is being replaced by a new listing. For most of the summer the average listing price of these new listings was higher than the average sales price of properties that sold that month. In other words the “replacement” property was coming on line at a much higher price than those properties that were leaving the market, which arguably contributes to an increasing market. That trend changed in August and September as the listing prices of new inventory was roughly in line with sales, suggesting that the market may be slowing a bit (see chart below).

Notable new listings in September include:

  • A duplex in West Jackson: Two 3 bed / 1 bath units with fenced yard and room to build garage $775,000
  • A bank-owned 3,200 square foot home overlooking Town on Budge Drive: $1,195,000 (pictured below)
  • A 37 acre home site in Bar B Bar on the Snake River: $11,900,000

New Listings slow in Jackson Hole as summer nears end

/in , , , , , , , /by

The Colbert Real Estate Report

Monthly Market Update for Aug 2015

Jackson Hole, WY

What’s new in August 2015? (New Listing Analysis)

  • 81 :: Total number of new listings in Aug (another drop after a high in June)
    • Average List Price: $1,785,000
  • 63 new residential properties (single family, condo, townhome)
    • Average List Price: $1,900,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 9
  • 18 new building sites
    • Average List Price: $1,670,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 2

What it means: New listings took another dip in August as the summer selling season is nearing its end. This is typical for this time of year, as August 2014 saw a similar number of new listings (75). New inventory continues to outpace monthly sales. In August, for every sale there were 1.6 new listings, however that gap is quickly closing (see chart below). It is typical for this gap to be the largest during the spring and early summer season when there is an influx of new listings.  The average listing price of all new listings in August (land and residential combined) dipped below $2 million for the first time since April 2015. Keep in mind this average is still $700,000 higher than the average SALES price in August ($1,070,000). Earlier this spring and summer (March through June), between 22% – 32% of a month’s new listings went under contract or sold by the time the next month’s report was published (usually around the 10th of the next month). Last month at this time, only 17% of the new July listings were under contract, and this month, only 14% of August’s new listings are under contract or sold. This downward trend illustrates the recent slow down in the market and may suggest that many new listings continue to be over priced for the current market.

Notable new listings in August include:

  • Several condo-hotel rooms at the White Buffalo Club in Town: 1 bdrms start at $320,000 and 3 bdrms (with large kitchen) start at $948,000 (pictured below)
  • 4 bdrm townhome in Town with grand-fathered short term rental zoning for $795,000
  • To-be-built spec new home in downtown Wilson: $1,350,000

Sales Volume and Transactions down in July in Jackson Hole

/in , , , , , , , , /by

The Colbert Real Estate Report

Monthly Market Update for Aug 2015

Jackson Hole, WY

Summary – July 2015:

  • 33:: Total residential sale transactions (down again after May’s high)
  • $28,300,000 :: Total residential sales volume reported to MLS (down again from last month)
  • $944,000::  Average sales price of reported sales (down after several months of increases)
  • 96% ::  Ratio of sales price to list price (same as last few months)
  • 158 ::  Average days on market prior to selling (down for the 5th month in a row)

What it means:  After a spike in May, transaction levels and sales volume dropped significantly in June and July appears to be following the same trend, dropping to pre-summer sales levels. Reported sales volume in July marked the lowest volume in the past 6 months.  There were only 3 unreported sale prices in July and all were for properties priced under $550,000. This is interesting as most unreported sales are for very high end property sales. (These buyers may have received a great deal (or maybe feared they paid too much) and therefore didn’t want the real estate community to know the final sales price.) The average sales price declined in July after a spike in June ($1.3 million) and dipped below the $1 million mark for only the second time in 2015.   The average days a property is on the market before closing continues to decline (5th month in a row), and now represents the second lowest number of days in the past year. Well priced properties continue to go under contract very quickly, many times within a day of being listed in the MLS. In particular, in the month of July nearly 50% of all sales occurred within 90 days of being listed. While many sellers are listing their properties very aggressively given past comps, we saw several price reductions in July, suggesting that some Sellers may be feeling pressured from the well priced properties that are going under contract quickly.

What’s new in the Jackson Hole Real Estate Market? Spring New Listing Analysis

/in , , , , , /by

April New Listings Update: Currently in Teton County, we are seeing inventory levels at a 25 year low. The following benchmarks, such as number of new listings, average sales price of those listings, and how quickly those listings go under contract, should help keep an eye on these inventory levels and can help us understand the relationship between new inventory (new supply) and sales prices.

  • 66 :: Total number of new listings in April
  • 47 new residential properties (single family, condo, townhome)
    • Average List Price: $1,540,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 15
  • 19 new building sites
    • Average List Price: $1,544,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 0

What it means: The number of new listings have been increasing almost every month since November 2014 (see chart below), however not at a rate to significantly impact the record low inventory levels. Hopefully we continue to see more listings hit the market as we enter the busy listing season (May-June). Currently we are barely replacing the inventory that is selling (see chart below). Judging from the consistent sale transaction levels (see Summary section above), we have yet to see a real impact from these new listings. That being said, many new listings are being snatched up as soon as they hit the market. Of the 47 new residential listings that hit the market in April, almost 1/3 of them are already under contract. Therefore, we should expect to see sales transactions tick up next month. Lot listings aren’t moving as quickly, possibly due to the fact that 17 of the 19 new land listings in April are priced over $1,000,000 (5 of the new land listings are priced in excess of $2 million). The average list price of new listings last month ($1.54m) is nearly $500,000 higher than the average sales price of properties sold last month ($1.135m).
