Jackson Hole Real Estate – April 2014 Update

If you are looking for trends in our current real estate market I would say the strongest trend is lack of inventory. And in direct correlation with lack of inventory we have less sales and higher prices. Comparing April 2013 to April 2014: we had 31 residential sales in 2014 verse 42 sales in 2013. Sales volume was about identical at about $27 million which results in a 30% increase in average sales price. The inventory numbers for lower price properties continues to shrink and is also represented when comparing sales for the two Aprils – April 2013 had 31 sales under $1 million where 2014 only saw 22 sales under $1 million.
Vacant land in Jackson Hole continues its resurgence as we had 7 sales in 2014. 4 properties south of Town in the more “local” locations of Little Horse Thief and Game Creek sold last month.
Pending sales have been averaging about 55 sales every month and that number did not change in April as we have 58 pending sales. The friendly competition between Sotheby’s International Realty and Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates is a dog fight and a tie in the number of transactions pending.
Active Market – there are 412 active listings. 119 residential units priced under $1 million, 54 properties priced between $1 and $2 million, 50 properties between $2 and $4 million and 22 properties priced over $ million. There are 70 vacant lots priced under $1 million.
