Real estate sales in Jackson Hole soared in 2020, and the agents involved in the record market say it was the disaster of COVID-19 and everything that came with it that created the rush to sell and buy. Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates, the Christieâs affiliate here, said total sales in the area hit $2.35 billion, up 90% over 2019, with hot residential sales accounting for $1.58 billion of that. Christieâs counted 847 transactions. Another local standard, the Jackson Hole Report compiled by David Viehman of Engel&Volkers, put total sales at $2.45 billion and 878 transactions. Viehman counted 402 single-family house sales with a total price of $1.49 billion, up 52%. He noted another 263 condo and townhouse sales for $384 million, that dollar amount a 49% rise.
