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

  • 54 :: Total number of new listings in April
    • Total New Listing Volume: $83,100,000
    • Average List Price: $1,540,000
  • 43 new residential properties (single family, condo, townhome)
    • Average List Price: $1,266,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 9
  • 11 new building sites
    • Average List Price: $2,600,000
    • New listings already under contract or sold: 0

What it means: New listing activity continued to increase as we approach the busy summer selling season. Fifty-four new properties (including both residential properties & building sites) hit the Teton County real estate market in April. After several months of lagging or matching the inventory levels seen in 2014 & 2015, April saw more new residential listings than in the previous years (see chart below). New listings in April continued to outpace sluggish sales levels, this time at a rate of 2.5 to 1. In April, there were 10 new condo/townhome listings under $750,000, lower than last month’s 17 new listings in this price range, but nonetheless adding much needed inventory to the entry level market. By March 10th, 4 of these new listings were already under contract, illustrating the continued high demand for properties in this price point. At the other end of the spectrum, 6 single family homes hit the market priced in excess of $2 million including homes in Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis, Teton Pines, Game Creek and an 8,300 sq foot home in Town overlooking the Elk Refuge (listed for $4.9m). The middle of the market saw quite a bit of new listing activity as 11 new single family home listings priced between $500,000 – $1,000,000 hit the market, including homes in Rafter J, Cottonwood Park, East Jackson, and a ranch style home on 5 acres south of Jackson (pictured below).  Nearly a dozen new lot listings were added to the inventory in April including 4 building sites in Saddle Butte, located just north of downtown, ranging from $788,000-$1,995,000.

Notable new listings in April include:

  • 3 bdrm condo at Snow King with short term rental income – $545,000
  • 3 bdrm remodeled townhome (with garage) at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort – $1,275,000
  • Rafter J lot in the new King Eider subdivision – $349,000

Monthly Market Update for April 2015

Jackson Hole, WY

What Sold in Mar 2015? 

  • 30% :: Percentage of single family home sales (similar to last month’s 29%)
  • 37% :: Percentage of condo/townhome sales (identical to last month)
  • 33% :: Percentage of Land Sales (high again for a second straight month)
  • 40% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for over $1 million (down from 54% last month)
  • 60% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $1 million (up from 46% last month)
  • 30% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $500,000 (up from 23% last month)

What it means: The breakdown of property types in March was also nearly identical the breakdown we saw in February. Land sales remained higher than average for the second straight month. While land sales usually represent about 20% of all sales on average, in February and March 2015 there were 12 and 11 sales accounting for 34% and 33% of all sales (see chart below). This trend could be explained by the lack of available built-out inventory (i.e. single family homes and townhomes). As buyers are unable to find what they are looking for (or what they like is overpriced), many are considering purchasing land and building their own home.  The percentage of properties selling for over $1 million dropped down to 40% after a high of 54% in February. The number of properties selling for under $500,000 increased after 4 months of decline (see chart below). That being said, the average sales price remained high ($1.57 million) due to several high end sales including a 6,000 square foot house in Teton Pines (selling close to $8 million) a 48 acre tract of land in Crescent H (selling around $5 million) and a 6 bedroom estate in Shooting Star, at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, which sold for north of $10 million (pictured below).

“What” sold in the Jackson Hole Real Estate Market in July 2014?

Monthly Market Update for July 2014

Jackson Hole, WY

What Sold in July 2014? 

  • 52.5% :: Percentage of single family home sales (much higher than typical)
  • 25% :: Percentage of condo/townhome sales (down significantly from last month’ s 46%)
  • 22.5% :: Percentage of Land Sales (up from last month’s 14%)
  • 2.5% :: Percentage of distressed property sales (1 short sale in July)
  • 25% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for over $1 million (down again from last month’s 29%)
  • 75% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $1 million (up slightly from last month’s 71%)
  • 36% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $500,000 (down from last month’s 43%)

What it means: The month of July saw the highest amount of single family home sales in almost a year. Single family homes sales accounted for 52.5% of all sales last month and included several high end properties in Teton Pines, Stilson Ranch (pictured below) and Teton Village (which had been on the market for 564 days!).  There were also two high end lot sales in Crescent H and Shooting Star, listed at $5.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Neither sale price was disclosed. Conversely, condo and townhome sales were down significantly last month representing only 1/4 of all sales. This trend  mirrors the available inventory, where there are 213 single family homes for sale and only 91 condos available for sale. Land Sales were up again, representing 22.5% of all sales in July. Last month there was one short sale, only the third distressed sale in all of 2014. It was a small condo on Snow King Drive that went under contract back in March 2014.

“What” sold in the Jackson Hole Real Estate Market in November 2013?

Monthly Market Update for December 2013

Jackson Hole, WY

What Sold in November 2013? 

  • 41% :: Percentage of single family home sales (down from last month’s high of 49%)
  • 43% :: Percentage of condo/townhome sales (vs. 37% last month)
  • 13% :: Percentage of Land Sales (similar to last month)
  • 4.3% :: Percentage of distressed property sales (2 bank sales and 0 short sales)
  • 37% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for over $1 million (down from last month’s high of 43%)
  • 63% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $1 million (up from 57% in Oct)
  • 37% :: Percentage of residential properties selling for under $500,000 (up 10% from Oct)

What it means: Last month, the big story was the large amount of high end home and property sales in the Teton County area, where almost 1/2 of all sales were over $1,000,000. This month, the breakdown has shifted to more typical levels (63% under $1m / 37% over $1m).  Likewise, the breakdown by property type returns to more typical levels as well with 43% of all sales in the townhome / condo market. That being said, there were still several high end properties that sold in November including one of my favorites in Teton Pines – a 7,300 sq ft estate located on the 18th fairway – which sold for over $7 million (pictured below). Interestingly, the month of November saw 13 sales of condos that allow short term rentals, perhaps as many new property owners hope to capture rental income from the upcoming ski season (see Market Focus).
