The Jackson Hole real estate market continued to show strength in all segments in September, with 45 real estate closings for approximately $38 million, or an average sales price of $882,000, according to Teton County Multiple Listing Service.

The figures represent a 32 percent increase in unit sales year over year, but a decrease of 78 percent from sales volume in September 2012, when a whopping $68.5 million in volume was driven by four residential properties that closed for between $7 million and $12 million.

The high end did not take the month off, however, with a 5-bed, 6,868-square-foot home on an acre in Teton Pines listed at $4.35 million after just 77 days on market. A 4-bed Teton Village condo listed at $2.25 million also closed in September after 99 days on market.

The current market’s strength is most evident in a recent resurgence of entry-level listing activity. September saw 15 sales, or 33 percent, for less than $500,000. Six of these sales were below $300,000, a price range that proved elusive for lower-income buyers in recent months. In fact, a 1-bed, 624-square-foot Meadowbrook Village condo sold for less than $200,000.

This 3-bed Rafter J home was listed last week for $595,000.
