We are on the front end of the busy spring/summer listing season here in Jackson Hole, as we see more and more properties coming to market each month, including 41 new listings in April. The overall dollar volume of these new April listings totaled $65 million, equating to an average listing price of just under $1.6 million, a slight dip from last month, but a number much lower than monthly averages typically seen in the past year. The median list price also dropped in April, down more than $200,000 from March 2019. While new listings in April were equally split between over/under $1 million, 17 of those new listings occurred in the $500,000 – $1,000,000 segment — including townhomes in Town, The Aspens and Teton Village, and one single family home in Porcupine Creek, listed for $949,000. This comes as good news for local buyers, who have been frustrated with consistently low inventory levels in this segment. Demand remains strong and competition is high however, as over a third of April listings are already under contract.

After a slow and quiet February, new listings picked up in March with 36 new properties hitting the market totaling $62M – double the sales volume seen last month! The average listing price increased to $1.7M and the median listing price also increased, up to $1.32M from a low of $997,000 in February. The dramatic increase in listing volume was helped not only by 5 high-end listings in Flat Creek Fishing Club, Crescent H, Bar B Bar and Teton Village, but also by a spike in listings in the $1-3M range, where 15 new properties hit the market in March, including 4 single family homes in the Town of Jackson. While 10 new listings under $500,000 hit the MLS in March, many came on as “pending” sales in Virginian Village, a remodeled condo development near the Library in Town that has been  attracting the interest of local buyers for the past several months.
