Wyoming, also known as the Equality State, is located in the mountain region of the western United States and is home to 585,501 residents. Wyoming’s economy thrives in agriculture, energy, and nature tourism—no surprise given Wyoming’s vast land of 97, 914-square miles and over 24 state parks and historic sites. Additionally, Wyoming is also known for its ski resorts, in Jackson Hole, where Tiger Woods, Harrison Ford, Sandra Bullock, and Charles Schwab own real estate. Owning a home or building a new one has its perks in this natural haven. Rustic, dramatic views are common, as is the desire to have a home fit seamlessly into its stunning surroundings.
Real estate in Wyoming is affordable, despite natural views that would be in high demand in other parts of the country; Zillow states the median home price in the state at $222K. Home prices have been rising in the last 8 years, but rising steadily, with about a 5% increase each year.
