At the end of 2009, the yearly real estate sales chart for Jackson Hole properties looked like a ski run on a hanging snowfield. Beginning with the peak in 2005 of more than $700 million in sales, the numbers steadily deteriorated to approximately $225 million in sales in 2009.
But what lay below? A cliff, level ground or a return to the “heights” of relatively mediocre sales years like 2003?
With 2010 nearly in the books, the good news is that transactions and sales volume are on the rise again. The 247 year-to-date sales in Teton County are about a third higher than at the same point in 2009 and this year’s sales volume of $358 million is 43 percent ahead of last year.
So far 2010 has most closely tracked 2003 in dollar volume with this year about $12 million behind year to date. In 2003, however, there were already 537 sales compared to 2010’s 241. Obviously, the average sales price is significantly higher in 2010, rising to approximately $1.4 million for residential units.
These statistics and many more were compiled from Teton County Multiple Listing Service and provided by Jackson Hole Sotheby’s to its agents and clients at the most recent weekly sales meetings.
