Jackson Hole Real Estate – Granite Ridge Real Estate

GRANITE RIDGE is proof that Jackson Hole real estate residential development and a conservation mindset can go hand in hand. The 80-acre development is near two of Jackson Hole’s crown jewels: Grand Teton National Park to the north and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to the west. Granite Ridge was developed by one of Jackson Hole’s ranching families, who believed that the area’s scenic beauty should be available for the public’s enjoyment, not just for homeowners’ pleasure. The family demonstrated their respect for the terrain by protecting the open spaces and preserving natural assets, including mature stands of spruce, fir and aspen.

The Granite Ridge community is a mix of single family homes and town homes offering ski-in, skiout access to the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s Teewinot lift.

The four neighborhoods within the community are called The Homesteads, The Lodges, The Cabins and The Timbers.

The construction of homes has proceeded carefully, with an eye to saving as many trees as possible. Where cutting was necessary, the developers followed up by planting young indigenous trees and wildflowers.

Granite Ridge’s environmentally sensitive design, its proximity to the ski area and to Grand Teton National Park, and its access to Teton Village’s restaurants all combine to serve as a natural draw for outdoors-oriented families who want to be part of a vibrant mountain community. A one percent transfer fee on every sale of every Granite Ridge home is donated to the Jackson Hole Land Trust, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect land with exceptional scenic, wildlife and ranching values. Granite Ridge sales have already contributed more than a million dollars to the Land Trust, continuing a legacy that reflects the community’s values.

Wyoming on Forefront of Cryptocurrencies

With no state income tax (personal or corporate) Wyoming has always been a business-friendly state. With a recent bill passed by the Wyoming State legislature defining cryptocurrencies as “utility tokens” the state has thrown the door wide open to courting all blockchain-backed companies. Add some of the lowest electricity rates in the country and a casual western lifestyle the equation and you have a winning combination.

Year End 2017 Jackson Hole Real Estate Market Update

Happy New Years to you and yours.  After getting off to a quick start the winter has so far been rather mild across the Rockies.  While Jackson has some of the best conditions in the country, with the record snowfall of 2017 still fresh on everyone’s mind the even a snowpack 17% above average is going to seem mild.  Currently skiing up high excellent, and the lower mountain is improving quickly.  But with the bulk of the winter yet to come, we would expect Jackson Hole to revert to the mean and produce a excellent winter for skiing and riding.

2017 was another robust year for real estate sales.  Last year’s trend of low inventory and high buyer demand was heightened by external forces in 2017 that made the combination of Wyoming’s desirable tax and wealth climate and Jackson Hole’s combination of casual western lifestyle and impressive cultural menu more appealing than ever to a wider set of buyers.

Total Dollar Volume was Up 7% from the previous year but down 8% from 2015 (please keep in mind 2015 was the strongest year since 2007).

The number of transactions were down 8% from 2016 and down 8% from 2015.

With fewer transactions and higher dollar volume the Average Sales Price was up 17% from 2016 at $1,575,000.

The Number of Listings is at historical lows.

 

We think the low inventory is the most important statistic that describes the current market, especially as it relates to previous years.  The last time we had inventory this low was in 2007, a comparison we hesitate to make for all the implications that just ran through your mind.  However, that market was driven by irrational speculation with rapid sales of similar property types producing significant price appreciation.

Today’s low inventory is more holistic, driven largely by seller’s unwillingness to part with their properties especially because of the unique market dynamics (low tax, high quality of life) that Jackson Hole real estate ownership offers.  In 2007 savvy sellers where happy to cash in on the rapid price escalation. Today, even faced with an ability to command similar pricing, sellers are reticent to give up their foothold for they understand the long-term benefit, both financially and mentally, Jackson offers.  In addition, while the market is comparably strong to past years, today’s buyers are requiring their purchase to be underwritten by comparable sales, with properties that are overpriced stalling.

Of note, we believe the above has created opportunity in vacant land.   The immediacy buyers are bringing to their need to purchase makes the length of a building process unappealing.  Similarly, new homes are being purpose built for owners, they are not coming to market.  When new, or a remodeled like new home, is listed for sale the buyer response is both quick and aggressive.  If you are willing to consider a remodel or a new build for the purpose of selling, conditions are highly favorable.  If you’d like some example of either current listings and/or recent sales that we believe reflect this opportunity, please let us know.

Buyers, a market moving with this velocity requires you to be kept up to the minute.  Please contact me and make sure we are up to date on your needs. While 3rd party websites like Zillow claim to real time information the fact of the matter is by the time these websites populate with new listing they are already days old.  Additionally, in a niche market like Jackson Hole a significant amount of inventory trades either off market or in advance of it being publicly listed.  Allow us to leverage 43 years of real estate relationships to make sure you have first chance at new properties that fit your needs.

This message is also true for Sellers, the market is highly nuanced and the type of buyers coming to market have shifted. The messaging, imaging and presentation of your property is material in getting properties sold on the best possible terms. Experience and in-depth market knowledge is paramount, please call us and we can expand upon what we can do specifically for you.

Please do not hesitate to call or email us with any questions you may have.

We look forward to seeing you next time you visit the Tetons.

Getting To Jackson Hole Just Got Easier

See below for the full press release, but getting to Jackson Hole, which boasts the best air service of any Rocky Mountain resort town, just got easier thanks the addition of daily non-stop flights to Dallas.

 

 

American Airlines to Fly Year-Round to Jackson Hole

 

(September 29, 2017), Jackson Hole, WY –– It is with pleasure that the Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism Board, JH Air Improvement Resources Board and American Airlines announce the opportunity to provide YEAR ROUND air service to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Beginning Spring 2018, American Airlines will fly a daily CRJ700 from Dallas Fort Worth, TX to Jackson Hole, WY, complementing their A319 service during the summer and winter.

“Commercial air service is a significant factor in expanding and developing Wyoming’s economy,” said Governor Mead. “Entrepreneurs and businesses need quick access to markets and customers. Visitors want convenient access to their destination. Residents want the mobility air service provides. The addition by American Airlines of year-round service is a boon to Jackson and Wyoming. It is good news for our state.”

 

“Adding American Airlines on a year-round basis should allow locals to feel the benefits of more choice when we move into the spring/fall timeframe,” stated Mike Gierau, Chair JH AIR. “The ability to fly the smaller Regional Jet aircraft during our shoulder seasons is the key to matching a strong, but lower capacity demand,” continued Gierau.  “The Spring/Fall service (April/May and October/November/early December) will complete the year-round air service for American Airlines. We know our community has been asking for increased, year-round options, they love to travel for work and pleasure and being able to use a consistent loyalty program year round is a plus”.

 

Keely Herron, speaking on behalf of the JH Travel & Tourism Board, expressed their delight with the opportunity this may provide, for locals and for the folks trying to travel to Jackson during a time of very low air seat capacity. “Daily year-round service on American will be a big benefit to Jackson locals as well as business travelers. The Travel & Tourism Board works to help even out seasonal ebbs and flows, and we look forward to supporting American Airlines, along with each of our airline partners flying service to Jackson during the spring and fall seasons”, concluded Herron.

 

Spring and Fall service will be operated on a CR7.
