With the Election upon us, a few predictions on how Teton County and Wyoming will go.
Obama wins Teton County, loses Wyoming. It’s getting closer though.
Mike Enzi crushes again. So does Barrasso.
I really hope I'm wrong on this but I think Gary Trauner loses, sadly. Cynthia Lummis is slightly less cookoo than her predecessor Barbara Cubin, which allows her to keep just enough votes.
Jim Roscoe wins state House seat #22, which is such a bit of a slap in the face to the neo-cons who reshaped the districts a few years a go to include Wilson with Sublette County.
Pete Jorgenson wins House set #16
Andy Schwartz and Leland Christiansen win the County Commissioner seats.
Mark Barron wins as Mayor
Obringer again wins the Town Council.
BTW, I have a question for the special interest group “Save Historic Jackson Hole”. What exactly are they trying to save? A far as I can tell “Historic Jackson Hole” was when the roads were dirt, poker was being played nightly at The Wort, the mosquito’s were being mistaken for small birds, and there were exactly 4 single women in Teton County.
The only thing I will say about John McCain is that a year ago, I might have voted for him. I thought he was a genuine person and had his own thoughts. Somewhere during the campaign though, I feel like he caved to party leaders and began to pander to the so called “base” of the Republican party and began to sound like all the rest. It was sad to see. And then he chose Sarah Palin, which was just completely irresponsible. It did make for some extremely funny television though.
This is an article from the NY Times. Reservations must be slow b/c I've never seen discounts offered over the Holidays.
I have to say it was kind of exciting to see all the snow in the mountains this morning.
Real Estate:
A few things have gone under contract this past week, which is encouraging. Finally a 1br/1ba condo in the Aspens contracted that was listed for $440,000. Not a bad listing price but I don't know what the contract price was.
A 2br/2ba in the Aspens (Windflower Building) closed that was listed at $645,000
3br/4ba 4100 sq. ft. House in Wilson, 3.10 acres, big views, Listed for $4,100,000 UNDER CONTRACT
4br/3ba 2550 sq. ft. house in Rafter J, listed for $849,000 (Originally $923,000) UNDER CONTRACT. On the market for 148 days.
4br/1.5, 2000 sq. ft. bath older home on Crabtree Lane (behind KMart) listed for $710,000 UNDER CONTRACT
Here is an article and a few pictures of the new Cabins loaded on the cables of the new Tram.
Off to watch CNN and the election coverage.

I thought this was a Real Estate blog not a political opinion piece……….Are you trying to repel clients that don't share your own political views? Not sure this was a wise blog to post……you didn't tie it back to Real Estate at all…….Maybe you could tell us how the elections and the way they have finalized will effect Real Estate in Teton County.

I was really happy to see that residents of Jackson Hole are very open and liberal. I didn't expect that out of a small Wyoming town. I really enjoyed my trip due to the locals as much as the scenery.
