Wilson saw dramatic growth through the 2020s, with home values nearly tripling since 2010. Although prices dipped slightly in 2025, the town remains the priciest real estate market in the entire state.
Wilson – Wyoming’s Most Expensive Zip Code
Wilson sits just west of Jackson and offers a rare blend of privacy, mountain scenery, and luxury living. With strict development limits and high demand, the town has become a haven for ultra-wealthy buyers looking for exclusivity. It’s not uncommon to find sprawling estates here selling for several million dollars.
The sharp jump in 2022 and continued strength into 2024 reflect high-end migration patterns and limited housing supply. While 2025 shows a slight dip, this is typical of luxury markets experiencing recalibration after rapid appreciation. Wilson’s position at the top of Wyoming’s real estate ladder is unlikely to change any time soon.
