Jackson Hole’s real estate market continues to navigate challenges such as low inventory, higher interest rates, and record-breaking prices. Despite these obstacles, demand for Jackson Hole real estate remains robust, though different market segments have reacted inconsistently to these nuanced dynamics.
The number of transactions has steadily decreased for more than two years with a 7% drop from mid-year last year. Yet, persistently low inventory levels have kept prices stable since the 2021 peak. While the average sale price has remained flat, the median price has decreased by 7% compared to a year ago. This decline is largely due to a higher number of lower-priced properties sold in 2024, with sales of properties priced between $500,000 and $1 million increasing by over 40% compared to last year. Many of these properties include workforce-restricted housing and small, entry-level condos.
As the year begins in Jackson Hole’s real estate market, there are no surprises. The stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, and vast open spaces continue to attract buyers eager to establish roots in the area. Meanwhile, potential sellers grapple with the prospect of losing their advantageous low interest rates and finding suitable replacement properties.
Despite a 20% increase in overall inventory compared to the previous year, the number of properties for sale remains exceptionally low. This persistent low-inventory environment, coupled with strong demand, has kept real estate prices resilient. The overall average sale price rose by approximately 33% compared to the first quarter of 2023, partially driven by several properties fetching prices exceeding $20 million. However, the median sale price did decline by about 13%.
In 2023, Jackson Hole’s real estate market sought a new normal, marking a period of transition and adaptation. The year kicked off with interest rates reaching 20-year highs, recession predictions, and concerns about international unrest looming heavily on the minds of both buyers and sellers. These factors collectively contributed to a deceleration in the real estate market, even in Jackson Hole. Nevertheless, the scenario is far from bleak. In fact, Jackson Hole has, and presumably aways will, remain a location where demand far outpaces supply.
Despite a 7% decrease in the number of transactions in the overall market, the average sale price witnessed a 10% increase. This surge in average price was influenced by a thriving luxury market, accounting for approximately 20% of the total transactions and around a dozen closings surpassing the $15 million mark. The median sale price saw a modest decline of about 9% from the previous year, indicating a shift towards more stable pricing. Inventory remains a persistent issue across most market segments, with a 5% drop in active listings compared to the end of 2022. The number of listings under contract at year-end remained essentially flat from a year ago. As Jackson Hole’s real estate market strives to find equilibrium after years of rapid expansion, the time required to sell a property has increased by over 25%. Each segment of the market has reacted to the changing market pressures differently but overall, strong demand persists when price, condition, and location align appropriately.
Three quarters of the way through 2023 the real estate market in Jackson Hole is holding firm. It has been over a year since the real estate market experienced a shift in buyer sentiment, triggered by increasing mortgage rates and threats of a national recession. While many buyers have decided to put their purchasing plans on hold driving transactions down, pricing has remained robust compared to a year ago with the average sale price increasing 14%. Since the market shift began over a year ago, the number of transactions has been decreasing vastly compared to the spikes seen during the COVID-19 era. However, those decreases have leveled off with only a slight (-6%) decrease in transactions compared to a year ago. The number of properties available for sale ticked up 24% and so did the average time to sell, up 42%. This data indicates buyers are still buying when the price and circumstances align but there is little urgency to snag a property as soon as it hits the market.
It has been about a year since the real estate market began shifting locally. A major question on many people’s minds is – Are prices coming down? Based on the year-over-year figures there isn’t any clear evidence of depreciation. In fact, the overall average sale price continued to increase, up 24% from a year earlier. Despite this average price increase, the overall market continues to experience challenges as many buyers wait on the sidelines for a “good deal” and others have been sidelined by affordability issues. The overall number of transactions dropped 14% even though buyers have a nice boost of available properties to choose from with 30% higher inventory compared to last year. Properties are staying on the market an average of 193 days which is up 53%. Could a combination of higher inventory, fewer sales, and longer marketing times force prices down?
In the prior year, a significant transformation was observed in the real estate sector on both a national and local level. The rapid escalation of interest rates coupled with the prevailing economic uncertainty had a dampening effect on buyers’ sentiment, ultimately leading to a slowdown in the real estate market. The beginning of 2023 is witnessing a continuation of this trend, characterized by reduced transactions, price levels maintaining their gains from prior years, and a modest increase in available inventory. Despite these fluctuations, many are finding investment in real estate is a viable option in a turbulent and high-inflation environment.
The overall Jackson Hole real estate market, which includes all property types, experienced a modest decrease in transactions, down 8% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Nonetheless, the average sale price increased nearly 20% to just under $4 million. The drop in transactions led to the total dollar volume falling about 22%. The number of active listings available jumped over 120% compared to levels seen a year ago. This additional inventory is a welcome sign of a more stable market, however still at historically low levels. The number of pending listings dropped significantly, down 42% year over year, signaling that low transaction levels could persist through the year. On the plus side for buyers, properties took about 86% longer to sell, giving buyers an opportunity to be more selective and navigate the transactional process more easily.
In 2022, the tide turned in Jackson Hole’s real estate market. After two years of explosive transaction levels and price growth following the pandemic, the real estate market reacted to a new set of economic conditions by cooling its heels. Interest rate increases, while still at historically lower levels, have caused some pause in the market, mostly in the primary home market. Second and vacation home buyers are less affected by rising rates, but all buyers have become more price-sensitive and more selective. Sellers today must be agile – but if the price is appropriate to condition and location, the demand is still strong.
The overall market had 51% fewer transactions in 2022 compared to 2021 which appears to be more on par with the volume seen in 2018. Despite sales activity slowing, prices remained strong with the average sale price up 5% and the median sale price up 30%. The number of active listings at year-end 2022 increased 68% compared to the prior year, yet inventory levels remain near historical lows. The imbalance of supply and demand, which is characteristic of Jackson Hole, maintains pricing levels gained from the past two years. That said, a leveling of price growth is a sign of a more balanced real estate market.

The Jackson Hole real estate market re-balances after 24 months of heated demand and low inventory.
The local real estate market is shifting, and quickly at that. In the past 2 years, the lack of inventory has drastically impacted total dollar volume, average sales price and days on market. In the first half of 2021 total dollar volume rocketed to $1.2B, an unprecedented level.
The demand for Teton County real estate was fueled by the pandemic driven desire for rural living and increased interest in the western mountain region. Multiple offers and over-asking price sales became commonplace and many listings were on the market for only a matter of days before they were snapped up by desperate buyers.

Quarter One of 2022 is the first chapter in a different real estate landscape in Jackson Hole.
