Monthly Market Update for April 2017

Jackson Hole, WY

Summary – March 2017:

25 :: Total residential sale transactions (identical to Feb)
$33,370,000 :: Total residential sales volume (very similar to Feb)
$1,335,000:: Average sales price of reported and unreported sales
94% :: Ratio of sales price to list price (back down, below average)
244 :: Average days on market prior to selling (down slightly from high last month)

What it means: March sale statistics offered much of the same as February, as transaction levels stayed at 25 sales and total volume dipped slightly, settling around $33 million. Both stats are low compared to the busy summer/fall seasons, but are inline with levels seen this time last year. In fact, if history repeats itself, we should not see sales pick up until May. The average sales price hovered right around $1.3 million, which represents the typical sales average for Teton County. (Remember that the large spike in January was due to one VERY large sale.) After an uptick in the sales price to list price ratio in February (96%), this ratio dropped down to 94% in March as sellers appeared more motivated to sell. Numerous properties sold at notable discounts, including a house in Cottonwood Park selling for $70,000 under list price, a smaller house in the Bar Y selling for $95,000 under list, and a house in Indian Trails selling for over $100,000 under the asking price. It appears that while some sellers are pricing their properties boldly and above market, many turn out to be more motivated to sell once an offer comes in. (If you are interested in property in a certain price range, it may be prudent to expand your search to account for price negotiations – contact me or set up and save your own property search.) The average days on market dropped slightly after a high in February, but still remained high compared to the 12 month average of 198 days. Many of the properties that sold last month were on the market since the summer/fall listing season in 2016. In fact, only 3 of the sales last month were for properties listed within the last 90 days.
