As 2022 ends, we have assembled the Market Trends for the year and compared them to years past.
2022 was an interesting year for all markets as the Federal Reserve had taken substantial strides to curb increasing inflation by raising interest rates. This increase in interest rates started to permeate through the real estate and stock markets.
Contributing to market challenges, were Covid-19 lockdowns in China and the war in Ukraine. China lockdowns disrupted supply chains throughout the world while the war in Ukraine disrupted the stability of oil prices and general peace.
Here are a few quick highlights of 2022:
Single Family Homes:
Median Home Price for the first quarter of 2022: $1,225,000 (based on 27 sales)
Median Home Price for the fourth Quarter of 2022: $1,118,000 (based on 14 sales)
Median home prices declined (-8.73%) from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.
Condominiums:
Median Condo Price for the first quarter of 2022: $775,000 (based on 97 sales)
Median Condo price for the fourth quarter of 2022: $682,000 (based on 60 sales)
Median Condo prices declined (-12%) from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.

Nasdaq: Down (-34%)
Dow Jones Industrial Average: Down (-8.5%)

Condominium Market
The Median price for a condominium in Mammoth Lakes for 2022 was $755,000, which is 25% higher than the median price observed for all of 2021. This median price was determined through 333 total sales. The median market prices were relatively flat from April 2022 through June 2022, with a decline during the month of August. Prices generally leveled from August through the end for 2022.
The graph below is a representation of the condominium pricing table on the previous page:
The number of active listings for condominiums also peaked in August 2022 with 78 active listings at the beginning of month. Like single family homes, the condominium market tends to be strong in the summer months with a higher number of active listings during the summer months than the shoulder months.
The decline inventory is attributed largely to the decline in new construction, credited to increasing construction costs. In addition to high construction costs, condominium owners are less motivated to sell as they benefit from renting their properties on a short-term basis while also having the option to use the property. Many owners also purchased their properties with low interest rate loans, making difficult to give up the long-term advantage.
Vacant Residential Land Market
The median price for residential vacant land in 2022 declined (-10.6%) versus all sales seen in 2021. This median price was determined from 18 land sales over the course of the year, compared to 49 sales in all of 2021. The price per foot for a vacant lot is $34 per foot.
