Overall Market
When compared to the first six months of 2022, the overall market continues to decrease with 32% fewer sales and 34% lower dollar volume. In contrast, the median sale price is up 6% (record breaking). The segment where the number of sales decreased the most was residential vacant lots, down 30% when compared to Q2 2022. While inventory levels are still at historic lows, the lack of inventory under $1 million will continue to slow the number of sales in the second half of 2023. NOTE: The 154 overall sales to date is the third lowest number of sales in 30 years.
Geographically, the Town of Jackson experienced the most activity (54 sales), accounting for 35% of all sales in the valley and 20% of the total dollar volume ($132 million). NOTE: The only area of the valley to experience an increase in number of sales and dollar volume was South of Wilson where sales were up 60% and dollar volume was up 99% when compared to the first six months of 2022. The increase in dollar volume was a direct result of three sales over $20 million.

All segments experienced a decrease in the number of properties under contract with the most being the condo/townhomes segment which was down 52%. The decrease in this segment is directly related to the lack of inventory under $750,000 with only four townhome/condos currently listed in that range.
