2020: April New Listings in Jackson Hole

May 7, 2020/in Inventory Levels, Jackson Hole Real Estate, Market Report, Market Reports, Market Statistics, Monthly Market Update, New Listings, Real Estate Sales/by Molly Stewart

While April is typically a slow month for new real estate listings, this April was particularly slow with only 19 new properties entering the market. Compare that to April of last year, when more than double (41) the listings came online, suggesting that the Coronavirus may be affecting sellers’ plans to list this year. Whether people are taking a “wait-and-see approach” to the larger market or have legitimate concerns about other buyers and Realtors entering their home, we are starting to see the effects of COVID-19 on our inventory levels for Spring. Interestingly, despite recording only half of the new listings seen last April, the total dollar volume of April’s new listings this year is similar ($63 million this year vs. $65 million last April 2019).

The unusually high dollar volume can be explained by the fact that 16 of April’s 19 new listings were priced over $1 million, with 6 high-end listings entering the market over $3 million, including a 5-bedroom ski-in ski-out house in Teton Village, a 9,000 sq ft home on 18 acres in Bar-B-Bar and the historic Gill Huff Ranch, consisting of 160 acres at the base of Teton Pass, which is already under contract. Only 3 new listings entered the market under $1 million in April, including a 1,200 sq ft house in Hoback, a trailer in Evans Trailer Court, and a 4 bedroom remodeled Creekside townhome, the latter two of which are already under contract. As a result, the average listing price for April topped $3.3 million! The median list price was also up significantly, jumping to $2.3 million vs. the previous 12-month average of $1.5 million. Over 60% of April’s new listings were for single-family homes. Strangely, not one new vacant lot entered the market in April, an interesting stat considering 10 vacant lots were listed last month and 8 lots came online in April of last year.

May and June are traditionally the busiest months for new listings with over 100 properties entering the market in both May and June of 2019. It will be interesting to see the number of new listings over the next few months, which will help determine the true effects of COVID-19 on our inventory levels this spring (which will no doubt have an effect on pricing and values).

2020: April Sales in Jackson Hole

May 6, 2020/in Jackson Hole Real Estate, Market Report, Market Reports, Market Statistics, Monthly Market Update, Real Estate Sales/by Molly Stewart

Since COVID-19 shut down much of Jackson Hole in mid-March, real estate activity has definitely slowed. While March numbers were still strong thanks to a busy first half of the month, April sales numbers seem to better reflect the effects of the Coronavirus on our market. There were only 18 sales in April 2020, totaling $26 million in total sales volume. While April is considered the “off-season” in Jackson, with consistently slower real estate activity, it was much slower this year in particular, recording roughly half of the 33 sales seen in April 2019. Sales volume was also lower, with approximately $12 million less than in April 2019 and marking the lowest monthly sales volume since April 2016. After exceeding $2 million for each month of the first quarter this year, the average sale price dropped significantly in April, down to $1.4 million, the lowest monthly average sale price in the last 11 months. The median sale price was also down, dropping from $1.6 million in March 2020 to $1.323 million in April 2020, which was however, still nearly double the median sale price in April 2019 ($785,000). April’s lower average sale price can be explained by two other monthly stats.

1) Nearly half of April sales this year were under $1 million vs. Q1 2020, where sales in this segment accounted for 30-34% of all sales.

2) Only 2 sales occurred over $3 million, the lowest monthly number of high-end sales since April last year.

Properties that sold in April were not on the market long selling within an average of 133 days, the lowest days on market in the past 7 months. Sale prices remain strong seeing an average sale to list price ratio of 97%, with 5 properties selling at or above their asking price in April. Condo and townhome sales represented 50% of all sales in April, the highest monthly percentage since nearly a year ago in May 2019. Only 1 lot sold in April, the only time that has happened since I began tracking stats in 2013

2020: March New Listings in Jackson Hole

April 9, 2020/in Inventory Levels, Jackson Hole Real Estate, Market Report, Market Reports, Market Statistics, Monthly Market Update, New Listings, Real Estate Sales/by Molly Stewart

New real estate listings in March dipped slightly from February, with 40 new properties hitting the market. To put that in perspective, last March 2019, 36 new listings entered the market. We typically see a spike in new listings starting in May continuing through June each year (in 2019, 205 new listings hit the market in these two months alone). However, this year is like no other, with COVID-19 disrupting our economy and many people’s daily lives. It will be very interesting to see the number of new listings that enter the market during this spring’s listing season. Will sellers hold off to wait to see what happens to the market? Will panic drive more sellers to dump their properties?

New listing volume dropped significantly in March, down nearly $45 million from February 2020, and dipping below $100 million for the first time since November 2019. As a result, the average listing price dropped to $1.9 million from a high of $3.9 million just 3 months ago in December 2019. Again, it’s typical for the higher-end listings to wait until May / June to enter the market (i.e. last year we saw an average list price of $4.2 million in June). The median listing price was also down in March, dropping $640,000 to just over $1 million as a whopping 19 properties (47.5%!) entered the market between $500,000 – $1,000,000. Despite the snowy conditions, we saw another 8 properties come online over $3 million, including houses in John Dodge, Spring Creek Ranch, Solitude, and Teton Village. So, while new listings continued hitting the market through March despite the early effects of coronavirus, pending sales appear to be down with only 6 these 40 new March listings under contract (as of April 9). Again, I think new listing numbers and dollar volume in April, and more significantly May, will really illustrate the coronavirus’ impact our Jackson Hole real estate market in 2020. Stay tuned!

2020: March Sales in Jackson Hole

April 8, 2020/in Jackson Hole Real Estate, Market Report, Market Reports, Market Statistics, Monthly Market Update, Real Estate Sales/by Molly Stewart

Real estate sales in March dipped, down to 23 transactions for all of Teton County, 4 fewer sales than last month (Feb 2020) and 7 fewer sales than March 2019. This dip is most likely not a result of the coronavirus, as many properties that closed in March went under contract in February, prior the current COVID-19 pandemic effects. Despite seeing lower sales, overall dollar volume was up $3 million from February, reaching nearly $64 million. Thanks to 2 very high-end sales in March – a beautiful 103 acre tract along the Snake River adjacent to Grand Teton National Park (listed for $14.45 million) and a 6,700 square foot cabin at 3 Creek (listed for $11.75 million) – the average sale price jumped up to nearly $2.8 million, the highest monthly average sale price in the past 2 years. The median sale price in March (which is not as affected by the high-end / outlier sales) was also up in March, reaching just under $1.6 million, the highest monthly median sale price in the past year. The majority (60%) of property sales were single family homes in March. Only 5 condos/townhomes sold last month, the lowest monthly total since March 2017. Three vacant lots sold in March, including a 5-acre parcel on the Village Road owned by Teton County and originally earmarked for affordable housing. The majority (43%) of March sales occurred in the $1-3 million price point. In addition to the 2 high-end property sales listed above, another 4 properties sold above $3 million, with that segment accounting for 26% of all sales in March.

March 11, 2020/in Market Reports, Uncategorized/by Molly Stewart

New listings spiked in February with 42 properties hitting the market, the highest monthly level of new inventory since last September 2019. List volume was also up, reaching nearly $120 million. However, the average list price dropped to $2.85 million from the highs seen in December and January ($3.9M & 3.45M respectively). The median listing price was also down, dropping significantly to $1,650,000, as 14 new properties entered the market under $1 million including two condos and town under $400,000 that went under contract immediately. The majority (21) of February’s new listings were condos and townhomes, including short term rental condos in Teton Village, The Aspens and Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis. Only 4 building sites came onto the market including a two lot re-development opportunity in East Jackson, listed at $2.85 million.

2020: February Sales in Jackson Hole

March 10, 2020/in Market Reports, Uncategorized/by Molly Stewart

Real estate sales were down in February, recording only 27 transactions – the lowest monthly total since last February 2019. Overall sales volume was also down $30 million after a strong January that saw nearly $90 million in sales volume. February volume was the lowest monthly volume since June 2019. Despite lower sales and volume, the average sale price remains strong, reaching close to $2,250,000 for only the first time in the past year. February saw several high end sales including 2 Granite Ridge homes in Teton Village, selling for a combined $15 million. The majority (56%) of sales in February were for single family homes. Not surprisingly given the snow levels, only 3 vacant lots sold in February. The $1-3 million price point was again the hot spot, with nearly half of last month’s sales occurring in this price range. There were 0 sales under $500,000 in February, the first month without a sale in the entry level market since I began tracking this stat in January 2018. The average days on market dropped down to 168 days after reaching 191 last month. Interestingly, the sale to list price ratio hit 97% for the first time since July 2019, illustrating that properties, on average, were selling closer to listing price in February, with nearly 1 in 4 properties selling at or above their listing price last month.

2020: January New Listings in Jackson Hole

February 11, 2020/in Jackson Hole Real Estate, Market Report, Market Reports, Market Statistics, Monthly Market Update, Real Estate Sales/by Molly Stewart

The first month of the New Year saw 32 new listings enter the market, a slight increase over December 2019, however still roughly one-third of new inventory seen during the summer months. Listing volume topped $110 million for the second month in a row. The average listing price dropped slightly from December but remained strong at $3.4 million, continuing to outpace the average sale price by more than a $1 million for the last 2 months. The median list price spiked in January, topping $2 million for the first time since I began tracking this stat in April 2017. Not a surprise, considering that over 80% of January new listings were over $1 million with a whopping 40% of new listings over $3 million last month. Several high end homes came on the market at 3 Creek ($11.75 million), Solitude ($7.5 million) and a beautiful custom home north of town, listed for $16.9 million (and already under contract!). Only 5 new listings entered the “locals market” ($500,000 – $1 million) and only one property hit the market under $500,000 – a one bedroom condo in East Jackson, listed for $365,000 that received 3 immediate offers. New listings were split almost equally between single family homes (14) and townhomes (13) with 5 vacant lots coming onto the market in January, including a unique parcel on Huffsmith Hill with stunning Teton views, listed for $5.1 million.

2019: Year End Review – Jackson Hole

After an explosive 2018 that saw a 13% annual increase in sales and a staggering 38% increase in dollar volume, many predicted that the market would slow in 2019, many thought the market was in need of a correction. The number of real estate sales did not slow down in 2019, recording a nearly identical number of sales as 2018. After under performing 2018 in the first two quarters, transactions increased in Q3 and Q4 of 2019, netting a total of 493 sales* (vs. 494 sales in 2018). What did change in 2019 was the overall dollar volume, dropping 6% percent from 2018, to $890,000,000* in 2019. After starting the year off strong (2019 Q1 sales volume was up 50% from 2018 Q1), the second quarter of 2019 really under preformed 2018, recording just over half of the sales volume seen in the 2nd quarter of 2018. While the second half of 2019 recorded similar numbers to the same time in 2018, the overall dollar volume of 2019 still came up $45 million short of 2018. With a similar level of sales and less dollar volume, it’s no surprise that the average sale price followed a similar trend (high in Q1, low in Q2 and pretty even in Q3 & Q4) with the end of year average dropping $85,000 (4.5%) to just over $1.8 million. In analyzing the price point breakdown in 2019 vs 2018, a few trends become clear:

The high end market saw a similar level of sales in 2019 (74 vs 76 in 2018). Digging deeper, shows that overall dollar volume of this segment was down 3.5% in 2019, accounting for $412 million in total volume.
Sales seemed to shift from the locals market ($500,000 – $1,000,000), which was down 17%, to the $1-3 million range, which was up 9% from 2018.
The most dramatic change occurred in the sub $500,000 market, where nearly 50% MORE sales occurred in 2019. The 24 additional sales in this price point can be almost entirely explained by the sales of the Virginian Village condos. Condominiumized by the developer several years ago, these 1 and 2 bedroom units located in the heart of Jackson were completely renovated with new appliances, flooring, kitchens, baths, etc. After selling several units FSBO, the remaining units were put on the market with Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates and accounted for 26 sales between Feb – Dec 2019. These condos were in high demand, selling one after the other, with 1 bedrooms selling between $302,000 – $325,000 and 2 bedrooms selling between $402,500 – $435,000.

This influx of inventory and sales in the entry level market, can help explain why, despite a decrease in average sales price, the average monthly median sales price in 2019 was actually up, increasing to $1.15 million from $1.09 million in 2018. With more sales in the bottom end of the market, the median (which measures the middle of the market sales) was pushed up in 2019 because of the additional 26 sales on the low end. In analyzing the property type breakdown, it shows that single family home sales decreased 5%, representing 46% of all sales in 2019, while townhome/condo sales increased in 2019, up 6% representing 40% of all sales. Again, most likely a result of the 26 Virginian Village condo sales in 2019. Land sales represented a similar amount of sales in 2019 (14% vs 12% in 2018).

*Note: All statistics are pulled from Teton Board of Realtors Multiple Listing Service for residential sales/listings in Teton County, WY for 2019, excluding fractional sales and duplicate entries. It is estimated that sales outside of MLS account for an additional 20% of transactions/volume. Contact Katie for more details.

Buyers had more options in 2019, as 696 new residential listings entered the market, compared to 632 in 2018, an increase of 10%. New inventory levels outpaced 2018 in the first 3 quarters of 2019, with an especially strong Q3 that saw 40 more new listings than the same period in 2018. While the number of new listings increased 10%, the dollar volume of those new listings jumped up 15%, with $243 million more in dollar volume than in 2018. New listing volume outpaced 2018 in 3 of the 4 quarters, with a very strong Q2 seeing $200 million more in listing volume than in Q2 2018. So, not only was more inventory entering the market in 2019, but it did so at higher price points. As a result, the average listing price increased 4.5%, up to $2.66 million in 2019. Sixty-five percent of 2019’s new listings were in excess of $1 million, with the majority (44%) in the $1-3 million range. Fifty-seven properties entered the market priced under $500,000, with the Virginian Village condos accounting for roughly half (28) of the listings. Single family homes accounted for just over 50% of new listings in 2019.
