High demand for “entry-level” properties, with 25 sales under $1 million
The Colbert Real Estate Report
Monthly Market Update for June 2017
Jackson Hole, WY
Summary – May 2017:
- 38 :: Total residential sale transactions (up after 4 slow months)
- $32,560,000 :: Total residential sales volume (lower than usual)
- $924,000:: Average sales price
- $637,500 :: Median sales price
- 97% :: Ratio of sales price to list price (spike from last month)
- 216 :: Average days on market prior to selling (down again from last month)
What it means: Real estate market activity picked up in May, with a 50% increase in sales transactions as we head into what should be a busy summer selling season. Despite the additional real estate sales however, overall dollar volume was down significantly as May saw an unusually high number of sales in the sub $1 million price range. As such, the average sales price was the lowest in almost two years (dropping below $1 million for only the second time in the past year). Median sales price is also an interesting statistic to analyze as many high end sales can easily influence the average sales price. In May, the median sales price was $637,500, again a result of the 25 sales recorded under the $1 million mark in May. For the second month in a row, properties continued to sell close to the listing price (on average), with nearly 30% of all sales occurring at, near or above the listing price, suggesting a trend of strong sales prices as we head into summer. Average marketing time continued to shorten, falling for a 4th month in a row (see chart below), with nearly 40% of all properties selling within 3 months of hitting the market. Both of these trends were most prevalent in the “entry level” market, where many high demand properties received multiple offers within days of hitting the market. (Note: If you are searching for property in Teton County priced under $1 million, please contact me so that I can be on the look out for these types of high demand properties before they officially hit the market.)

Monthly average sales price tops $2 million
The Colbert Real Estate Report
Monthly Market Update for May 2017
Jackson Hole, WY
Summary – April 2017:
- 26 :: Total residential sale transactions (similar to last 4 months)
- $53,080,000 :: Total residential sales volume (spike from last 2 months)
- $2,041,000:: Average sales price of reported and unreported sales
- 97% :: Ratio of sales price to list price (spike from last month)
- 234 :: Average days on market prior to selling (down again from last month)
What it means: So far in 2017, monthly sales transactions have been consistent, hovering around 25 sales per month). This pattern is similar to, but slightly higher than, the first few months of 2016, where a total of 89 sales had occurred through April (vs. 99 in 2017). Total dollar volume of these sales tells a different story however: In the first 4 months of 2016, $133 million in property sales had occurred. Compare that to 2017, where just shy of $200 million of real estate has sold through April. While this spike in volume was helped by several larger transactions (including a 264 acre property selling for $50+ million in Jan 2017), it could also signal an overall trend of sale prices increasing in 2017. Thanks to several high end sales last month (see “What Sold” below), April’s average sales price topped $2 million for only the second time in the past 2 years. On average, properties in April were selling at 97% of the listing price, with 6 properties (or 23% of all sales) selling at, near, or above the listing price. The average days a property sits on the market before selling declined for a 3rd month in a row (see chart below), with 8 properties selling within 3 months of hitting the market. If these trends continue, it could further indicate an overall increase in values as we enter the busy summer selling season – stay tuned.

March sales/volume consistently low, as inventory clears out
The Colbert Real Estate Report
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.

The Year in Review: 2016 Sales & Trends from The Jackson Hole Report
Overall sale transactions and dollar volume in 2016 were down 8-10% compared to 2015. The decrease in activity can be explained by two main contributing factors: 1) a sluggish vacant land market and; 2) overall available inventory, which was down to its second lowest level in 30 years. 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.

WHAT TO DO NEXT?
BUYERS: Given the low levels of available inventory, especially in the entry level market, well priced and well maintained properties will continue to sell quickly. Please connect with me so that I can alert you about soon-to-be-listed properties in your price range. You can also search Jackson Hole properties on my website or sign up for automatic listing updates. As a Buyer, it’s very important to be prepared to act quickly. Get pre-qualified with a local bank (contact me for a list of local lenders) in order to be ready to make an offer on a competitive property.
SELLERS: As a Seller, the best strategy is to price your property competitively (based on the most recent comparable sales) and market it effectively, as well priced properties can receive multiple offers.
