2025 QUARTER 3
The leaves may be falling in Jackson, but the real estate market certainly isn’t. As we approach the end of 2025, let’s take a look at how sales are shaping up. Through the 3rd quarter, the number of transactions is up 14% compared to last year. With mortgage rates holding steady and little change expected, motivated buyers are moving quickly when they find the right property.
One area that stood out with significant growth is south of Wilson along Fall Creek Road, which saw 14 transactions this year compared to just 5 last year. So far this year, the lowest priced full-ownership sale was a condo in an industrial area south of Jackson, which closed at $555,000. The highest sale was an estate located north of Wilson with live water and private Snake River access listed for $31,500,000.
Although more properties are selling this year, sellers are also facing more competition, with active listings up 17%. Still, the year is on track to finish strong, with about 56 properties under contract at the end of the third quarter, an increase of nearly 25% from the same time last year. On average, properties sold for about 94% of their final listing price.
Overall, the data reflects a market in balance with increased listings offset by consistent buyer activity and stable pricing.
2025 MID-YEAR
STAR VALLEY REAL ESTATE 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.
