Why Now Is a Smart Time to Sell in Gillette WY
Why Now Is a Smart Time to Sell in Gillette WY
If you’ve been thinking about listing your home in Gillette, now is the moment to act. I’m Jessica LaCour, Broker/Owner of 411 Properties, and our team is seeing clear signals that 2025 is favoring motivated sellers across Campbell and Crook County. Let’s break down the numbers — with verified data, not guesses.
The Data: Rates & Market Stability
According to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey (as of October 31, 2025), the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate sits near 6.04 %, while the 15-year averages 5.32 % (Freddie Mac PMMS). That stability is important — rates aren’t jumping like they did in 2022–2023, which is giving buyers confidence to move forward.
Locally, the NEWRA MLS reports that inventory across Gillette and Campbell County has remained steady at roughly 120–130 active residential listings through Q3 2025 — about 15 % below the five-year average. Homes priced between $275K and $400K continue to move within 30–45 days on market, with properly priced homes often selling within two weeks if they are priced right and presented correctly!
Pricing Power: What the Numbers Say
The FHFA House Price Index shows Wyoming values up 4.8 % year-over-year through mid-2025 — slower than the pandemic spike, but remarkably stable compared to many states. That moderate growth means Gillette sellers can still expect strong appraisals without pricing ahead of the market.
Buyer Motivation & Payment Reality
With rates around 6 %, today’s buyers are driven by monthly payment — not just headline price. A $350,000 loan at 6.0 % equals ≈ $2,100/month (P&I). That’s a manageable payment range for dual-income buyers across Campbell County, especially with steady local employment in energy and construction.
This “payment discipline” means buyers remain active — but selective. They want move-in-ready homes with clean mechanicals and modern presentation.
How to Leverage the 2025 Seller’s Window
- List sooner, not later — Inventory rises seasonally each spring; late fall and early winter often bring the most serious buyers.
- Lead with presentation — fresh paint, curb appeal, and professional photos increase views by up to 60 %.
- Launch with precision pricing — we blend MLS data from current pendings and recent sales to price just below the competition.
- Market with reach — our “Get Exposed” platform pushes your home to thousands of regional and relocation buyers within 48 hours of listing.
- Stay negotiation-ready — sellers who respond quickly to showing feedback win offers faster.
Neighborhood Highlights Driving Demand
- Lakeland Hills: Family-friendly layouts near schools and Rec Center.
- Red Hills: Spacious lots with garages and shops buyers love.
- Tenth Hole Estates: Newer construction on the golf course — low inventory keeps prices firm.
- Crook County Acreage: Privacy and outdoor lifestyle appeal for rural movers.
