Responding to Context is our Modus Operandi More than two decades ago, we published the first Jackson Hole Report to provide the critical, specialized market analysis our clients need. Then as now, the Jackson Hole Report remains the definitive source on real estate in this region, regularly cited in national publications.
WELCOME TO THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE JACKSON HOLE LUXURY REPORT
Buying a home in Jackson Hole is more than a transaction. 2
For many, the decision is often an exciting lifestyle change as well. Respecting the many elements that factor into this important decision, we designed our real estate services to provide you with much more than just a property fact sheet.
The Origin of the Jackson Hole Luxury Report Post Recession, we observed the high-end segment grow in strength and subtlety. Understanding that luxury properties require special attention and analysis, we published the inaugural Jackson Hole Luxury Report ten years ago—to widespread acclaim. Catering to high-end buyers and sellers who seek a clear understanding of this elite market, the report focuses on 1,832 properties worth $5 million and above, many of which are sold privately and never appear as public listings.
Our Commitment to You Underlying our exhaustive research is a core commitment to our clients. We want to ensure their experience matches their expectations of this spectacular setting. As trusted advisors, we work with our clients throughout the process of purchasing and selling real estate, but also well beyond the closing date.
Creating Community Intrinsic to our roles as realtors is our pride of place and a connection with our clients. Getting to know the people and places who make this community so vibrant is as important as recognizing the economic factors at play in our market. From exploring market dynamics to sketching a social calendar, we are experts in all aspects of Jackson Hole, and we want to help make this valley feel like home. Please turn to us as your partner in the discovery of this special place.

What is considered “Luxury” in a given real estate market? The top 10% of a given market is one gauge used nationally. When we started the Luxury Report in 2012, the top 10% hovered around $2 million. By 2016, the
Raising the Luxury Market Price Point
top 10% averaged around $3.5 million. The number of Luxury-defined $5+ million sales skyrocketed 132% in 2020 to 257 sales. This surge drove the definition of Luxury in our market up 63% from 2019 to a baseline of $6.5 million. In 2021, if we had focused solely on the top 10% of our market to define a Luxury Home, we would have only included $8+ million sales. Currently, of the 47 active single-family home listings only eight are listed for under $3 million. If we look at the top 10% of what’s available now, the listings sit at $13.95 million and above. With the Luxury bar raised so dramatically in 2020, going forward this report will only focus on sales above $5 million. The graph below reflects the history of the top 10% of sales. If you would like to know more about sales under $5 million, please read our Jackson Hole Report at www.jacksonholereport.com.

22 Meet the Team
“
David, Devon and their team did an outstanding job for us from the start to close of escrow. They were most helpful in planning the timing of the sale to meet our retirement and relocation dates. Their advice on setting a realistic and marketable listing price was an example of their knowledge and familiarization of the Jackson real estate market. Both Devon and Kara worked with us to help us prepare the house for showings by having us eliminate clutter and too many items all around. When it came time for the property inspections, they followed through to make sure we had all the required details. Kathi and I couldn’t be more pleased with the job they did selling our home. Most helpful through the process was their attention to communication. Their team always answered us promptly by providing accurate feedback on the showings or just general questions about the market.

The listing’s website address will be included in all advertising to make sure luxury buyers can find it. We will produce an in-house, color brochure for your property and make it available in our brokerage, on the web, on your yard sign, and to every prospective buyer who previews your property.

For the Buyer When you’re in the market for a property or new home in Jackson Hole, it is imperative that you work with a qualified and experienced real estate professional.

Devon Viehman has generations of Wyoming in her blood and her approach to life radiates the Cowboy code of Conduct. Highly ethical and honest with a sincere devotion to her clients, Devon goes above and beyond an average realtor personality on a daily basis. Not only did Devon consistently pursue potential buyers, but she also creatively sought outside the box. Not only was my financial stability a concern for Devon but she also cared about my emotional well-being. She regularly checked in to see if I was ‘doing ok’. God blessed me with a profitable sale of my Jackson home and a new home in Alpine through his angelic assistant, Devon. She is now more than my Realtor; she is my friend. There’s no doubt in my mind that I couldn’t have done any of it without her.

David Viehman understands that real estate is about relationships – the ties forged between people and place. He has devoted his life to sharing the valley he loves so dearly with people keen to plant roots in Jackson Hole. A Florida native, David moved to Jackson over three decades ago with his wife Donna and daughter Devon. Having begun his real estate career in 1982, David dove into the Teton real estate world, and quickly discovered the valley presented a distinct market worthy of analysis. Twenty-six years ago, he published the first Jackson Hole Report, a quarterly newsletter tracking sales and listings. Now considered the definitive source on valley real estate trends, the Jackson Hole Report has been cited in national publications including The Robb Report, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, US NEWS, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and NPR. To this day, David’s singular approach to the local market melds detailed analytics with personal attention. Knowing the valley as well as he does allows him to deftly find and feature properties for his clients, particularly when it comes to the luxury market.
Growing up in Jackson Hole, Devon Viehman embraced the cowgirl lifestyle with a drive and determination that foreshadowed her career to come. Beyond the rodeo arena, Devon has built a name for herself as topproducer among valley Realtors. She has garnered industry accolades throughout her sixteen-year career: In 2011, Realtor Magazine featured her as one of its Realtors to watch on “The 30 Under 30” national list. She served as the youngest-ever President of the Teton Board of Realtors in 2012 and was named Realtor of the Year by the Wyoming Association of Realtors the following year. Committed to development, Devon was elected as the Wyoming Association of Realtors 2018 President and serves on committees for the National Association of Realtors. Every quarter, she co-authors the Jackson Hole Report with her dad, David and husband, Luke. She is currently a Teton County Planning Commissioner and is committed to seeing Jackson Hole grow in a smart, sustainable way. Her professional accomplishments are matched by the fulfillment she feels as a mother to her 13-year-old son.
Raised in Jackson Hole, Luke was introduced to the myriad of outdoor pursuits Jackson Hole has to offer at an early age. From camping, mountain biking, hiking, river floating and fishing in the summers to skiing, ice hockey and snowmobiling in the winters, Luke has lived the Jackson lifestyle since a very young age. The abundance of activities and fun that the Jackson Area has to offer is what brought Luke home after college.

A graduate of Colorado State University, Luke is a successful small business owner in Jackson and brings his down-to-earth practices to real estate. Luke understands that lasting relationships are the foundation for a successful relationship with his clients. He has been here for decades and will be here for decades to come. An 11-year veteran of the Moose Hockey team, Luke still enjoys participating in Jackson Youth Hockey as a coach and continuing the tradition his father started decades ago. He is an avid fly fisherman and enjoys sharing a day on the river with friends and clients; letting them experience the river. 307 699 5921 luke@jacksonholereport.com
Josie moved to Jackson Hole 18 years ago after spending a single summer being mesmerized by the stunning beauty of this small Western town. She grew up in Lookout Mountain, Georgia with a deep love of home, family, community, and lasting relationships. After graduating from the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Josie went on to the University of Georgia where she studied Studio Art. Her art education led to a lasting interest in design of interior spaces, particularly of homes. After settling in Jackson, her western home and heart were made whole with the addition of her children, Gaines and Susannah. Motherhood is, without a doubt, her proudest achievement, she says. Raising her children in Jackson Hole is a continuous joy that naturally evolved into a strong desire to match others with the perfect home for their families. Perhaps the most important thing to know about her is that she does not simply talk about buying a home and investing here. As a homeowner, mother, resident, and member of the community, she is fully invested and is proud to call Jackson Hole her home. 307 699 4889 josie@jacksonholereport.com

The meteoric rise in housing prices in Teton County in 2021 has had a devastating effect for many in the community experiencing housing insecurity. Concerned about the rapidly changing character of Jackson Hole and the ability for essential employees to afford stable, secure housing, Teton County’s real estate community is stepping up to help. Inspired by Devon Viehman, with full support of the Teton Board of Realtors, the Community Housing Fund was launched to make it easy for every agent and seller, at every transaction, to dedicate a portion of their proceeds to the development of new affordable housing opportunities for the workforce. The Community Housing Fund pools donations to maximize impact on this all-encompassing issue. In time, with the leadership from the real estate community, Viehman aims to grow participation in the program year-over-year so that contributions can have a profound impact on the community’s housing crisis.
Closings with a Cause Teton County realtors support affordable housing through launch of the Community Housing Fund.
With support of Jackson’s escrow community, each time an agent orders a title commitment, all agents, buyers, and sellers will be asked: “Does the Agent, Seller or Buyer intend to designate a contribution to the TBOR Community Housing Fund at closing?” Each donor directs their gift toward the support of the design, development, and construction of qualified affordable housing in Teton County, Wyoming. In full support of the goals and objectives of the Community Housing Fund, 22 Fund Founders, pledged over $150,000 to the Community Housing Fund to close out the Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust’s $2.1M capital campaign that will make 24 affordable homes possible at 174 North King Street.
