2025 Mid-Year Star Valley Market Report

In 2025, the real estate market in Star Valley is defined by steady price growth, low inventory, and consistent buyer demand. The pace of development has picked up in several areas, with Thayne and Fairview/Smoot leading the way in terms of new construction and overall interest. These high-growth zones are attracting buyers who want the mountain lifestyle but still value community and accessibility.

Meanwhile, Star Valley Ranch, Bedford, and Etna remain attractive for buyers seeking more affordable homes, investment properties, or second residences. These areas continue to offer excellent value and serve as a buffer for buyers priced out of Jackson Hole and even parts of eastern Idaho.

Interest from out-of-state buyers remains strong, especially from Utah, Idaho, and California, driving ongoing demand for primary residences, vacation homes, and long-term rentals. The rise in remote work continues to play a role in this migration, with more people able to call Star Valley home without needing to be tied to a major city.

Whether you’re buying, selling, building, or investing, it’s clear: Star Valley continues to grow—not just in population, but in value, opportunity, and long-term appeal.
