River Front Property in Jackson Hole – 4375 Shidner Lane, Jackson, WY 83001

 

 “A River Runs Through It” and a special one at that – The Hoback River.  The Hoback River was recently granted Wild and Scenic River status in 2009 and is one of the more beautiful area in the greater Teton County area.

Christy and I are honored to have been selected to market and sell this wonderful property.  The property itself is an incredible parcel of 11 acres and has an absolutely gorgeous 6,000- sq. ft. custom log home.  

The stone fireplace soars in the greatroom with cathedral ceilings looking towards the river mountains to the south.  The main level has a beautiful gourmet kitchen, executive office and dining room all centered around the great-room.  The main level also boasts the large master suite.  The upper level of the home has 2 spacious guestrooms and a full bathroom.  In the lower level we have a wonderful game room and 3 full bedrooms.

The 11 acres are perfect for a horse set up as 8 of the acres are a lush meadow.  The property comes with Wyoming Water Rights allowing for extensive irrigation.

It is hard to explain what an amazing opportunity this is for a potential buyer to have this type of property available.  The access to hunting and excellent fly fishing is almost impossible to duplicate in the Jackson Hole area.  The fly fishing alone allows for an angler to have almost 3 full miles of rarely fished cutthroat fishing.  Deep pools, rifles and runs provide variety and challenges for all types of fishermen.  There is excellent opportunities for floating the river in kayaks or a raft.  The National Forest is in view from every window.

The home is offered below replacement cost at $1,780,000.  Call the Gillespie Real Estate Team at 307-413-5243 or email us at garth.gillespie@jhsir.com.

Wow! What is happening to high end real estate in Jackson Hole?

 

March and April of 2012 have started with a bang!  Major “transactions” have been taking place in Jackson Hole these past few months and we are really getting excited about the upcoming summer.  Since March 1st we have had 47 closings with 15 of those over $1 million dollars!  Half of those have been over $2 million and of those there have been 4 transactions over $6 million.

The action is not stopping either.  There are currently 12 under contract over $1 million dollars.  The biggest surprise has to be the vacant land buyers on the high end.  Since April 20th, 7 parcels have either sold or are under contract that were priced over $1 million.  On the high end side 2 parcels closed north of town in the Bar BC Ranch neighborhood that had listing prices of $6.5 and $8.9 million.  2 more properties just went “under contract” in the past week that are priced at $5 and $6.5 million?

Another observation is even though Teton Village and the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort have closed for the ski season properties at the village have really been selling.  A Granite Ridge Lodge, an older Teton Village home and a Four Season Resort property have all sold.  There is one Older Teton Village home under contract and 2 vacant land parcels in the Granite Ridge Subdivision.

This is great news for the Jackson Hole Real Estate Market.  As more information is gathered about these transactions we will post it.  If you need additional information on the Jackson Hole market please feel free to call us at 307-413-5243 or email us at garth.gillespie@jhsir.com.

Jackson Hole Housing on the Rebound?

Day 2 of our informative real estate slides that are painting a pretty picture of the real estate market.  In todays snapshot we see Morgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon talking to his readers and listeners that he sees nothing but upward momentum in today’s real estate market.

It is interesting to see him predicting downward pressure on prices (due to foreclosures and short sales) but also signaling and bullish outlook on buying or investing in real estate.

Investors have been interested in the current real estate market due to the lower pricing.  But what we are starting to see is rent increases.  This will only add fuel to the fire so Christy and I believe lower end rental condos and townhomes along with multiunit properties are going to be the “hottest” market this summer.  The only thing we see that would block this momentum would be if a inventory becomes are to find….guess what happens then?  We may see some price increases by year end!

Quick Glance at Jackson Hole Real Estate Sales in January 2012

Eagle Ranch - Beautiful Views

Published closed sales transactions fell in January 2012 in Jackson Hole.  Only 18 home and land sales took place in the month with a sales volume estimate of about $25 million.  Last year, January 2011 we saw 22 sales and probably the same volume.  We used an estimate because there were 4 non-disclosed sales published in the month.  What’s interesting in this data is that of the 18 sales 6 of them were vacant land.  The median sales price was $850,000.  The average days on market for the 18 sales was 414 days! 

The sales varied through out the valley with transactions taking place in the Town of Jackson, South of town in Dairy Ranches, Polo Ranches and 3 Creeks, a couple on the Westbank.  The highest sale was undisclosed and was a 35 acre lot in Crecent H Ranch which was listed at $5,950,000.

Jackson Hole: 2010 Final Stats on Sales Volume in Teton County

Jackson Hole Sotheby’s International Realty has analyzed all real estate sales in Teton County, Wyoming from the Teton County Multiple Listing Service for the year 2010. The big picture, and good news, is that sales volume is up from 2009, and is parallel with 2003 sales numbers. Sales volume for 2010 totaled $387,800,000 which is an 69% increase over 2009 ($229,200,000) and unit volume of 261 is up 28% from the 203 sales registered in the MLS in 2009.  However, 2010 sales volume was still less than 1/2 of what is was in the peak of 2007, which saw real estate sales top out at $792,000,000 from 581 sales in Teton County.

It should be noted that not all real estate sales are registered in the MLS. In fact approximately 1/3 of all sales are not reported in the MLS. Over the past 10 years, approximately 37% of the units sold and 32% of the sales volume was NOT reported in the Teton County MLS. Therefore, the 2010 MLS volume of $388 million suggests that ACTUAL sales volume was about $510 million.

According to the Teton County MLS, real estate sales volume in the 4th quarter of 2010 was up from the same 4th quarter in 2009.  Sales Volume increased to approx. $100 million in Teton County, compared to approx. $85 million in 2009.

On a year over year basis, 4th quarter 2010 was disappointing. All other quarters for 2010 showed improvement from the same quarter in 2009, except 4th quarter, which saw units sales drop 6.3%. However, 2011 is off to a good start and The Gillespie Real Estate Team is optimistic that 2011 will bring increased sales to Teton County, Wyoming.
