2019: March Sales in Jackson Hole

What happened in March?

What Sold

There was an uptick in sales last month with 30 transactions occurring in March, however sales volume dropped slightly, down to just under $58 million. As a result, both the average and median sales prices were down in March, as nearly 50% of property sales occurred under $1 million. Properties that sold in March had only been on the market for an average of 147 days, the shortest monthly marketing time seen since Oct 2018. Demand remains high as half of March sales were on the market for less than 90 days before closing. Sellers appeared to be motivated this winter, as properties sold at 95% of their listing prices in March, only the second time this monthly ratio has dipped below 96% in the past 17 months. Single family homes represented over half of all sales in March, while only 2 building sites sold – a 31 acre lot on Saddle Butte and a rarely available vacant lot in Cottonwood Park.

2019: February Sales in Jackson Hole

What happened in February?

What Sold

After a solid January (with 38 sales and $82 million in dollar volume), sales dipped in February, with just 26 transactions, the lowest monthly sales since March 2018. Despite the lower sales, the price point of those sales actually increased, resulting in nearly $60 million in volume. The average sales price ticked up $170,000 to just under $2.3 million, while the median sales price jumped up $300,000 from January, the second large monthly increase in a row. Seven properties sold above $3 million, now the 11thconsecutive month where we’ve seen at least 5 sales in this high-end segment. Conversely, there were only 9 sales in February under the $1 million mark. The majority (38%) of sales occurred between $1-3 million. Interestingly, at least 1/3 or more of all sales have occurred in this price range for the last 10 months, suggesting this is the new mid-point of the market. The sales price to list price ratio bounced back to 96% in February after dipping to 95% in January for the first time in over a year. The average time to sell a house in Jackson Hole was just under 6 months, a stat that has been consistent for the past 3 months. However, 42% of the sales in February closed in under 3 months of listing, as demand remains strong for well-priced properties. Townhome and condo sales represented half of all sales in February, the highest monthly percentage seen since June 2017. Several condos sold in Teton Village in February, not a surprise as many visitors flocked to the area for the record setting snow fall.

2019: January Sales in Jackson Hole

What happened in January?

What Sold

After an explosive 2018 (read the 2018 Annual Report), 2019 was off to a solid start with 39 sales totaling over $82 million in dollar volume. Both stats exceeded numbers from Dec 2018 by 22% and 24%, respectively. While the average sales price ticked up slightly to just over $2.1 million, the median sales price increased significantly in January, up $300,000 to $1.335 million, representing the third highest median sales price in the past 12 months. Properties that closed in January did so at an average of 95% of their list price, a drop from the 96-98% levels seen throughout all of 2018. Only 5 properties sold at or above list price in January, a number that could reach as high as 20-25 in some months in 2018. January saw an unusually high number of single family homes sales, representing nearly 60% of all sales. Land sales were predictably low, recording just 3 vacant land sales in January. There were 5 sales over $3 million in January, including an 8,300 sq ft house in Indian Springs that was listed for $15.5 million. It’s interesting to note that there have been at least 5 sales/month in this high-end price range ($3MM and above) for the past 10 months.

Market Analysis

Real estate transactions were up slightly in Q4 2018, recording 130 sales (vs. 123 in Q4 2017). In comparing month over month, even though 2018 saw a lower number of sales in both November and December, the 53 sales in October 2018 helped the 4th quarter overall. Sales volume in Q4 2018 was up 20% compared to Q4 2017, recording $260 million in sales. Even though 2018 ended quietlysales volume significantly exceeded volume in both October and November of 2017. The average sales price of Q4 2018 was just over $2 million, up 10% from Q4 2017, when the average sales price was $1.82 million. However, the median sales price was nearly identical between the fourth quarters of 2017 and 2018, suggesting that while the high end prices are getting higher, the remainder of the market values remained steady. The majority (37%) of sales in Q4 2018 occurred in the $1-3 million price point, helped by 25 new listings in this price segment in October alone. In Q4 2018, 46% of sales were for single family homes, with only 15% of sales representing vacant land (not surprising given the time of year).

Market Analysis

New listing activity increased significantly from Q4 2017, with 108 new properties hitting the market in Oct/Nov/Dec 2018. New listings in 2018 outperformed 2017 in each month, resulting in an overall 37% increase in new listings in Q4 2018. Even more dramatic, the dollar volume of the new listings in Q4 2018 exceeded the volume in Q4 2017 by nearly $100 million, a staggering increase of 64%! New listing volume in 2018 significantly outperformed 2017 in every month including October, where sales volume was 2x that of 2017. As you can imagine, the average sales price in Q4 2018 increased significantly as well, up to $2.385 million from $1.97 million in Q4 2017. The median listing price fluctuated throughout the 4th quarter of 2018, following a similar trend to Q4 2017, with the exception of Dec 2018, which saw a median list price of nearly $2 million, the highest monthly median since Sept 2017.

2018: December – What Sold in Jackson Hole?

What happened in December?

What Sold

2018 ended somewhat quietly in the Jackson Hole real estate world. Down from 45 sales in November, December recorded only 32 sales, the lowest monthly total since April 2018. Sales volume was also down, reaching just over $66 million, the lowest volume seen since March 2018. While the average sales price was just above $2 million, the median sales price (a more accurate indication of “middle of the road” values) came in just above $1 million in December, a steady trend seen throughout the 4thquarter. After spiking to 98% in November, the sales price to list price ratio dropped back down to 96% in December, below the average of 97% seen through much of 2018. Only 4 properties sold at or above the listing price, as more sellers appeared willing to negotiate with the year-end approaching. The average days on market increased slightly to 177 days in December, just above the annual average of 153 days. In December, 3 of the new Town Square Condos (atop the new Marriott hotel) closed. After first coming onto the market in October of 2016, 4 of the 9 units are now sold.

2018: November – What Sold?

What happened in November?

What Sold

November recorded 45 real estate sales, down from last month (53 sales) and also down from November 2017 (50 sales). However, despite having 8 fewer transactions than October, the sales volume in November was $10 million higher. In fact, November was only the third month all year where total sales volume exceeded $100 million. This spike in total volume was helped by 3 large sales: 2 houses in the exclusive Indian Springs neighborhood (both listed slightly over $10 million), and a 170 acre ranch parcel at the end of Boyles Hill Road, which was listed for $23 million. As a result, the average sales price jumped up to $2.2 million in November, however the median sales price dropped to $965,000 as 53% of all sales last month occurred under $1 million. The sales to list price ratio reached 98% for the first time since I began tracking these stats in 2013! Nearly 30% of all November sales occurred at or ABOVE their listing price, with several other sales occurring very close to the listing price, an indication that our market remains very competitive with limited inventory. The average days on market increased to 157 days in November as a few older listings finally sold, including a unique inholding on Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park, that was ultimately sold to the National Park Foundation. That being said, over 40% of property sales in November were on the market less than 90 days.

2018: May Market Report

What happened in May?

New Listings

The busy summer selling season is heating up with 93 new listings hitting the market in May, totaling $212 million in listing volume. Action is picking up fast, as May 2018 is well ahead of last May 2017 where we saw 86 new listings totaling $190 million in volume. Across the board, sellers are feeling confident as the average listing price reached $2.286 million in May, the highest average seen thus far in 2018. Buyers are watching and moving quickly. Of the 65 new residential listings in May (single family homes and townhomes/condos), 21 are already under contract or sold. While the majority of new listings are always residential, there were 28 new lot listings in May, by far the most seen in one month in the last several years.

What Sold

After an April that saw nearly 40% of property sales over the $3 million mark, things calmed down a bit in May. While there were more sales (38 total transactions), they totaled less volume ($66.8 million in May vs. $119 million in April despite 9 fewer sales). As a result, the average sales price dropped back down to typical levels at $1.7 million. The median sale price fell to $1.125 million, however this is still high given that this metric has been under $1 million in 8 of the last 12 months. Nearly half of all sales occurred under the $1 million mark in May compared to only 31% in April, with nearly 40% occurring in the “locals” market between $500,000 – $1,000,000. These sales included several older single family homes in Town, townhomes in Town and condos in Teton Village. The sale to list price ratio remains strong at 97%, marking the 6th consecutive month where properties have sold at 96-97% of the listing price. In fact, 9 properties in May sold at or ABOVE the listing price, including a 3 bedroom Teton Village condo that was listed at $795,000 and sold for nearly $100,000 more.

2018: April Market Report

What happened in April?

The big headline of the April market report is that nearly 40% of all April sales occurred in the high end of the market. After a first quarter of 2018 that saw 60% of sales happen in the “locals” market (sub $1 million), there were 11 sales over $3 million last month, including 6 sales over $5 million and one sale close to $15 million (a newly completed 10,000+ sq ft estate in Dairy Ranches). As a result, the average sales price skyrocketed to over $4 million (the median sales price also increased significantly to $1.7 million). April sales volume topped $85 million, quite the strong number considering that the total sales volume for the first 3 months of the year was a combined $103 million.

The good news for local buyers is that new listings increased in April, with 36 new properties hitting the market – the most monthly listings since Sept 2017. The average listing price of these new listings was $1.8 million, however the median listing price was just under $1 million. The average days on market dropped to 159 days and the sale price to list price ratio increased to 96%. This ratio has been at or above 96% since the beginning of the year, illustrating that many properties are selling close to list price as demand remains strong.

2018: Q1 Review

New Listings – What’s New?

The number of new listings hitting the market in first quarter of 2018 is up slightly when compared to last year, thanks to an usually busy January 2018, where nearly 40 new listings hit the market (vs. 21 in Jan 2017). However, the overall dollar volume of these new listings is down slightly in Q1 2018. As a result, the average listing price for the first quarter is down 15%, from $2.092 million to $1.78 million. The decrease was helped by the strong Jan 2017 (which saw an average listing price of $3.3m) and a somewhat weaker March 2018 (which saw an average listing price of $1.2m).

We are officially entering the “busy listing season” of April/May/June, so it will be interesting to see how much new inventory hits the market (and at what price points). Stay tuned….

Transactions/Sales Volume – What Sold?

Sales transactions are up nearly 40% in Q1 2018 (vs. this time last year). February 2018 in particular was a very busy month, with 45 sales (vs. only 25 sales in Feb 2017). Sales Volume, however is down 8% in the first quarter of this year. Much of this decline can be attributed to the usually high sales volume of January 2017, where nearly $90 million in property sales occurred (compare that to Jan 2018 where we saw only half that volume).

October sales strong after busy selling season, will in continue?

The Colbert Real Estate Report

Monthly Market Update for Nov 2016

Jackson Hole, WY

Summary – Oct 2016:

  • 51 :: Total residential sale transactions (down but still strong)
  • $87,505,000 :: Total residential sales volume (identical to Sept’s high)
  • $1,716,000::  Average sales price of reported and unreported sales (continuing upward trend)
  • 97% ::  Ratio of sales price to list price (highest since April 2015)
  • 169 ::  Average days on market prior to selling (down from last month)

What it means: The Jackson Hole real estate market remains robust after a strong October in both property transactions and dollar volume. The high dollar volume seen in September continued into October with nearly $90 million in property sales.  Transactions held strong after a busy summer selling season, charting over 50 sales in the month of October.  While transaction levels have been increasing in the summer of 2016 (when compared to 2015), monthly sales volume has generally lagged behind 2015 (i.e. things are not selling for as much this year). However, over the past two months, the gap seems to be closing, with Oct 2016 posting numbers very similar to Oct 2015 (see charts below). Is this a new trend? Is the 2016 real estate market finally catching up to 2015 numbers? It will be interesting to see if sales remain strong for the remainder of the year – Stay tuned!  The average sales price has been steadily increasing since July, reaching it’s highest level in the past 9 months in October. Note that we are still lagging October 2015, which saw an average sales price close to $2 million. After many consistent months (and a slight dip in September) the sale price to list price ratio increased to 97%, as Buyers were paying within 3% of list price for many properties last month. In fact, 11 properties (21.5% of sales) in October sold at, near or over the listing price, including a 4 bedroom home in need of many repairs down in Hoback River Ranches which sold for $50,000 OVER the listing price.  The average number of days a property sits on the market before selling dropped in October, marking the third lowest level seen in the past year. Well priced properties continued to sell quickly in October with 19 sales occurring within 90 days of listing. Many of these quick sales occurred in the sub $1 million market, in neighborhoods like Indian Trails, Cottonwood Park, Rafter J and East Jackson, where quality inventory remains low. It is therefore very important for Buyers to be prepared to act quickly when they see a property that fits their needs. For buyers looking to purchase with financing, it’s helpful to start a discussion with a banker ahead of time in order to understand the types of loans available and determine a comfortable price range.
