Currently there are 37 condos listed below $1 million in the Aspens/Racquet Club and Teton Village, with 20 listed below $500,000. While there are another 26 Jackson Hole condos listed above $1 million to nearly $4 million, the lower half of the market has driven the resurgence of ski properties in the last several quarters.
Through the first three quarters of 2011, Teton Village unit sales increased 78 percent to 50 while decreasing in sales volume 4.3 percent to $43.4 million. Since October there have been 12 sales in the Aspens and Teton Village, with all but one below $1 million.
Of course the closer to the lifts the better if skiing or snowboarding is a person’s main reason for owning property near Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. However, a condo doesn’t have to be ski-in/ski-out to earn solid rental income or be more than just a few minutes from lift service. Contact me for actual and/or estimated rental figures for these properties.
After a price reduction this week on a 1-bed, 1-bath, 736-square-foot condo in the Aspens to $289,000, there are now six such units listed for sale below $300,000. Located approximately three miles south of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, these properties have for decades represented a popular entry-level ski property ownership opportunity. In 2007 these same units sold for more than $500,000.
Rather schuss right to your door in Teton Village? The only option below $300,000 is a 441-square-foot Teton Mountain Lodge studio. The next full ownership opportunity in the Teton Village core is a 1-bed, 580-square-foot condo in Snake River Lodge and Spa at $372,750. There are seven ski-in/ski-out condos listed for less than $500,000.
