  • What is my Sandpoint City Idaho 83864 Home Worth? January 2017 Market Report

    Sandpoint Idaho 83864 sits on the northern most shores of Pend Oreille Lake (pronounced – Ponderay).  The Long Bridge entering Sandpoint from Sagle Idaho is considered the official line of where Lake Pend Oreille turns to Pend Oreille River.  2016 Consensus estimates Sandpoint City population at approximately 7,700 of the total 83864 population of 18,450.  With the dramatic diversity in 83864 topography and home styles I prefer giving two separate Sandpoint 83864 Market Reports in an effort to make comparisons a bit more in line without quite so much difference in land and home features.  Sandpoint City & Out of Town. This report being Sandpoint City. 

    Sandpoint City Single Family Homes ‘SOLD’: 

    Sandpoint City Sales

    December 2015 – 10,  January 2016 – 2, December 2016 – 10,  January 2017 – 2

    Sandpoint City Single Family Home Sale Median Price:

    Sandpoint City Sales

    Dec ’15 – $222,500,   Jan ’16 – $123,000, Dec ’16 – $207,450,  Jan ’17 – $174,500

    Sandpoint City Single Family Home Sales Median DOM (Days on Market)

    Dec ’15 – 112,   Jan ’16 – 89,   Dec ’16 – 93,  Jan ’17 – 100

    What do the above figures tell us?  Dec ’16 median prices dropped 6.75% compared to Dec ’15 while Jan ’17 showed an increase over Jan 16 of 41%.  While a nice increase from a year ago still a substantial decrease from previous month.  I think what is important to look at here is the number of transactions.  They are showing very consistent with January drop in sales due to Holidays and winter months.  In real estate results do not show themselves until 45 to 60 days later.  Another words the ‘2’ transactions for December for ’15 and ’16 indicative of slowdown beginning Thanksgiving.  February 1st showed a healthy Median active price of $290,000 with 37 active homes.  As we Sandpoint City Home Salesmove out of holiday and winter months we will have a more telling look for sales in Sandpoint City for the year 2017.   My opinion is consistent transaction numbers, compared to last year,  with a small increase in Median ‘Sold’ price.

    All indicators still show the market as a sellers market.  Although these broad figures are excellent for spotting trends, to best find “What your Sandpoint City, Idaho home is worth” you should have a personalized Home Value Report completed specific to your home.  Contact me now for your FREE No Obligation Home Value Report.

    With Feb 1, 2017 Sandpoint City Single Family homes for sale numbering 37 there is currently over a 5 month inventory available if we average December and January sales.  Take into consideration increased sales as we move from winter months, and this shows itself holding true with the DOM (4 months discussed) average of 98.

  • 83864 Zip Code Square Miles Including Sandpoint City

    It is difficult to grasp how small the town of Sandpoint actually is when comparing to Bonner County, much less the state of Idaho.  Hopefully these maps and basic figures will help put in perspective Sandpoint City and 83864 Zip Code Square Miles compared to the surrounding area of Bonner County, of which Sandpoint is the largest city.


    Sandpoint City Boundaries

    The zip code for Sandpoint City is 83864.  That tends to be very misleading to many people who do not realize the expanse of zip code 83864.  83864 zip code is stated as 500.1 miles, far greater than the ‘in town’ city limits of Sandpoint.  The variety of land found within this zip code is impressive to say the least.  Lakes, Rivers, a Nationally noted Ski Resort, farm land and ranch land.


    Zip Code 83864 Map

    Both Sandpoint and 83864 sit within the boundaries of Bonner County, which is stated to have 1,919 square miles.  Another impressive side note to the obvious variety of land is the amount of water included in the county.  185 square miles or just shy of 10%.


    Bonner County Map

    Nestled between the Schweitzer Ski Resort and the Northern waters of Lake Pend Oreille, is Sandpoint City.  Cited as 4.79 square miles and .81 of that being water.  Again the % of water being very impressive and one of the main reasons people find Sandpoint, Bonner County, and North Idaho in general, so popular.

    So Sandpoint City itself is under 1% of the total Square Miles of the 83864 zip code of which it is part of.  In comparison to Bonner County, which it is the largest city of, it’s square miles are but .25% of the total county’s of 1,919.

    It is not difficult to understand how easily it is to misjudge Sandpoint City itself from the huge amount of land that directly surrounds it.

  • Snow Forecasted Sandpoint Idaho

    As we leave the 2016 Holiday Season behind Frosty is not to be found again till next Holidays.  Both Halley and Frosty have been my helpers this year with the snow removal in Sandpoint Idaho, although more in what turns out to be a supervisory position.  And that is OK because even the moral support makes a difference.

    Sandpoint Idaho SnowSandpoint Idaho SnowTemperatures are supposed to warm a bit with the new snow coming in later this afternoon supposedly accumulating up to 3 to 5 inches.  Personally I prefer the snow and warmer temps to the near zero and constant concern of frozen pipes.  So I will most likely be working on snow removal late today or early tomorrow morning, along with many others in the North Idaho and Sandpoint Idaho areas, and doing so knowing it is preferred over the zero temps.

  • Schweitzer Ski Condo’s for Sale January ’17 under $300,000

    We are about half way through the 2016/17 Schweitzer Mountain Resort Ski Season. Having just enjoyed the MLK weekend with the Northern Lights celebration there is still much to look forward to on Schweitzer Mountain.  Timing is just right to have your own condo in time for spring skiing end of this season.  There is a wide variety of Schweitzer Ski Condo’s to choose from.

    Presently there are 13 Schweitzer Ski Condo’s for sale listed under, $300,000.   Prices range from low of $81,500 to high ( in this search bracket ) of $279,500.

    *Total               13*

    *Bedrooms:     Studio – 4 ,  One – 4,   Two – 3, Three – 2

    Sq. Ft:             Low – 320,  High – 1,212

    DOM:              Average – 149,  Median – 74  Least – 7,  Longest – 449

    Pricing:           Average – $174,523.00,    Median – $164,900.00

    Past  Schweitzer Ski Condo sales show the market to be steady with prices and transactions improving.

    Schweitzer Ski Condo's

    4th quarter 2015 has 6 sold with average sales price of $141,975.

    1st quarter 2016 showing 6 sold with average sale price of $222,966.

    4th quarter 2016 showing 10 sold with average sale price of $216,680.

    Present sales for 2017 showing 1 sold at price of $120,000.

    With the current inventory of below $300,000  Schweitzer condo’s at 13 the absortion rate is just over 6 months based on 1st quarter sales of 2016.  If we take into account the prices holding firm from 1st quarter 2016 to 4th quarter 2016 and the increased transactions from 4th quarters of 2015 and 2016 I believe we should look more to a 4 to 5 month absorbtion rate.  While we would like to take the 4th quarter sales of 2016 for absorbtion rate, sales do typically slow 1st quarter on a ski resort.

    While this may appear to be bad news for buyers it is not.  Interest rates are still at all time lows, between 3.8 and 4.  Condo prices for a ski resort condo are still an excellent value.  Schweitzer Mountain Resort continues to make improvements that will only increase property values of all on the mountain.

    All information researched from Selkirk MLS and considered reliable but not guaranteed.  Schweitzer Ski Condo’s sold outside of Selkirk MLS not included in this Market Report for Condo’s and Townhomes under $300,000 at Schweitzer Ski Resort.
