FREE Jackson Hole Ski Day!

/in , , /by

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has been voted number one ski resort by SKI Magazine, and in celebration President Jerry Blann is saying “thanks” with a free ski day.

SKI Magazine’s survey, now in its 26th year, provides an annual snapshot of the Top 50 resorts in North America. Readers rank resorts in 20 different categories from snow and lifts, to dining and service. Jackson Hole earned the top spot this year, as well as Top 10 rankings in a wide range of areas, from Challenge and Character (both # 1’s) to Lodging (# 3) and Service (# 7).  For a mountain never known for extensive grooming until the recent “All New All Blue” initiatives, Jackson Hole ranked #19 in grooming this year. “Jackson Hole has done as good of a job as any resort in recent memory of expanding its appeal to a wider audience, now offering a remarkable experience to skiers of all talents and tastes,” Greg Ditrinco, Editor of SKI Magazine says.

…as if we didn’t already know.

Jackson Hole Home Sales Review – May 2009

/in /by

The month of May has brought more new listings to Jackson Hole. There’s been an uptick in showings/activity with a few more pending sales to come. Overall, the sellers who have been waiting to sell are being successful with recent price reductions. The theme for most buyers today is to look for the right seller and the right ‘deal.’ 

There have been a number of Teton County, WY Foreclosures that have gone to auction; however, eleven have resulted in no sale. Select properties will continue to come down in value as we move forward in 2009. 

Today, there are 188 vacant sites for sale in Jackson Hole and 300 single family homes.

Buyers finding great deals despite slump in sales.

The MLS data shows a consistently slow real estate market in Jackson Hole, but there are many other deals happening outside of the reported database. Buyers with cash are finding great deals and realistic Sellers are able to sell successfully. Please contact me if you’d like an opportunity to learn what’s occurring in this underground market as I am aware of many properties for sale outside of the MLS.
