With more than a week remaining in March, the 13 residential and three building site sales reported in Teton County, WY, have already exceeded the total of 11 recorded in March 2010, assuring yet another strong month in the Jackson Hole real estate market compared to the depths of 2009.
Ironically, it is also encouraging that the average sales price has been trending slightly downward in recent months. Deeply discounted high end sales above $2 million have been leading the market recovery since fourth quarter 2009, but sales below $500,000 have been more prevalent in recent months due to an increasing inventory of bank-owned properties and more successful short sales.
Thus far in March the sales volume is approximately $18.42 million for an average sales price of $1.15 million, which follows an average sales price in February of $1.33 million and $1.38 million in January. The average sales price in 2010 was $1.485 million (261 sales for a total volume of $387.8 million).
