While the COVID-19 pandemic no doubt kept new listings quiet in April, it appeared many sellers were feeling more confident in May, collectively putting 76 new properties on the market in Jackson Hole. These new listings represent 75% of the new listings seen in May of 2019, a strong number considering our current economic environment. Overall listing volume was $175 million in May, the highest monthly volume since August 2019. The average listing price of $2.3 million was down from April’s high of $3.3 million, but in line with the average listing price seen last year in May ($2.22 million). The median listing price dropped significantly, down $800,000 from April to $1.56 million in May, which is slightly below the average median list price seen throughout the last year. Why did the average and median price listing price drop in May? While the majority (39) of new listings were priced between $1-3 million, 26 new listings came on line under $1 million (2 of those under $500,000), the highest monthly inventory seen in this price range since Aug 2019.

Twenty condo / townhomes were listed in May, with 15 of those priced under $1 million, a great selection for local buyers and second homeowners looking for a Jackson Hole getaway. Surprisingly, 20 vacant lots were listed in May, the highest number of monthly lot listings in the past year. Thirteen of the 20 new lots were listed over $1 million, including a large 21 acre redevelopment parcel on the Westbank, currently home to the Bar J Chuckwagon, listed for $14 million. The least expensive new lot listing is a .32 acre lot on Snow King Ct with stunning Teton views over the Elk Refuge.
