What it means: Single family home sales continued their upward trend last month, representing 1/2 of all sales in Teton County. Land sales dropped again to below average levels after two strong months in February and March 2015. (Note: There was one multi-family sale in May, a two 2-bdrm duplex in West Jackson, which was counted as a single family home sale for this analysis.) Properties selling for over $1 million continued a downward trend as less than 1/3 of properties sold in this price segment. On the other end, properties selling for under $500,000 also declined, albeit slightly. These two statistics can be explained by looking in the $500,000 – $1 million segment, which saw 23 sales in May (40% of all sales). We are seeing many of the entry level single family home sales in this price range. Gone are the days of buying a stand alone property (even a fixer upper) priced under $500,000. For example, in May, a 1,344 sq ft house in Cottonwood sold for $617,500, a 1,900 sq ft house in Red Top sold for $575,000 and a 2,155 sq ft house in Rafter J sold for $695,000. The month of May also saw several higher end condo sales including a nicely remodeled condo in E Jackson selling for $700,000, a Love Ridge condo selling for just under $1 million and a Teton Village condo selling for just over $1 million after 569 days on the market (pictured below).
