Jackson Hole Market Update – Feb. 20, 2008 – Active Listings and Inventory
Sotheby’s International Realty of Jackson Hole has been busy compiling statistics from the past year (2007) and in next series of blog updates I will be taking some of that information and sharing it with you. Leonard Klieman of the Jackson Hole Sotheby’s office has done an incredible job of analyzing Teton County Multiple Listing Service information along with comparing and contrasting data received from Teton County, Wyoming County Assessors Office.
As of January 2008 there were 404 current listings in the Teton County MLS. Due to a extreme slow down in current pending activity this gives Jackson a 20 month supply of inventory. (Months of Inventory = Active Listings / Unit Sales). In January 2008 we saw the first increase in active listings for the first time in 3 years. In 2006 there were 386 active listings and in 2007 there were 364 active listings at this time. The biggest change in the data however is that pending transactions are trending down instead of up when comparing the past few years. This trend started in November of ’07.
Properties listed for less that $3 million: 296. Active listings are up 11.7% vs. last year and is up in January vs. December for the first time in 3 years.
Properties listed greater that $3 million: 116. Active listings are up 9.4% vs. last year.
