Labor’s impact on Sales: There are always factors to consider when selling a home and these change with each market locale or market time frame. So, what are buyers looking for in the current market? Well, location and price are still paramount factors for buyers, but property condition has also bubbled to the top of important considerations. Why? The shortage of reliable labor is on the minds of many and conversations with buyers indicate they prefer a home that is move-in ready vs. something needing work. Other Trends: At the request of one of our clients, we are providing some trends on a “Price per Square Foot” basis. As of October 1, 2023 the median price per foot for a condominium is $655 and for Single Family homes it is $622.
Single Family Homes
The median sales price for a single-family home as of October 1, 2023, was $1,299,000. This figure is based on 39 closed sales in Mammoth Lakes Year-to-Date. 39 sales put us on pace for a total of 52 sales for the year, compared to 83 total sales in 2022. Sales volume year-to-date has increased over the past month, but is still on track to be below 2022 levels.

As of October 1, 2023, the inventory is up 262% since December 2022, and is consistent with last month’s total inventory.
