    Sandpoint Realty ‘Friday Flag’ – May 13, 2022

    Sandpoint Realty Friday Flag

    Another special Sandpoint Realty ‘Friday Flag’ this week.  I am often pleasantly surprised to see ‘Ole Glory’ flying more for the benefit of the home owner, rather than the general public who might be driving by.  This was one of those times.

    While checking on my Rising Hawk Vacant Land Listing in Sandpoint I noticed this flag.  I was surprised because I had driven this route dozens of times.  Set back and to itself sits this wonderful flag on a weathered barn.  The horse trailer and worn corrals only added to the ambiance of the scene.  My only regret was in not being able to get the horse, that was off to the side, in the photo.

    Spring Cleaning for Bonners Ferry Idaho

    I have long been impressed with the small town of Bonners Ferry Idaho and the work they do to keep the  rural small town clean, attractive, and inviting to both locals and visitors alike. 

    Sandpoint Realty Bonners Ferry Spring Cleaning

    Many are not aware of the hard work that goes on early mornings and late nights to make this happen.  Even small towns in North Idaho seem much larger when looking at keeping it clean.  Thank you Bonners Ferry Idaho for your focus and hard work!

  • Sandpoint Housing Market Inventory and Conditions – April 2, 2022

    Sandpoint Housing Market Inventory and Conditions – April 2, 2022

    Is Sandpoint Idaho still a sellers Market?  Without a 2nd thought the answer is a resounding YES !  Resourced by NAR, Core Logic, and Fannie Mae the chart shows clearly a National Average as ‘Sellers Market’.

    Sandpoint Realty Sellers Housing Market

    As with many areas through out the Nation, Sandpoint Idaho is a Niche of its own.  Inventory actually lower than the National average.  Year to year $$ appreciation is higher than the already state average of $55,000.  

    Sandpoint Realty Cocolalla Lake

    The nearby surrounding areas of Sagle, Priest River, Naples, Bonners Ferry, Clark Fork, Hope Idaho all are separate Niches of their own, with most having Niches within those.  It would be impossible to generalize all North Idaho into a single bracket, even a city has different facets.  

    Sandpoint Realty Garfield Bay

    Consider the fact that any of the above cities may sitting next to a lake, have a river, multiple creeks, mountainous terrain, pastures, ski resort, airport or Spokane International Airport approximately 2 hours distant from any of them.  

    While the housing market may be leveling a bit in North Idaho I try to bring a little clarity to it with this:  The difference between 300 degree water and 240 degree water is quite substantial.  Yet both are boiling.  Trying to describe the difference in boiling temperatures becomes very difficult. 

    Contact me for answers to questions concerning Niches within different North Idaho cities or information on the different cities and housing market in general.

  • What North Idaho Can Expect in Spring Housing Market

    What North Idaho Can Expect in Spring Housing Market

    Sandpoint Realty Spring Housing
    As the spring North Idaho housing market kicks off, you likely want to know what you can expect this season when it comes to buying or selling a house. While there are multiple factors causing some uncertainty, including the conflict overseas, rising inflation, and the first rate increase from the Federal Reserve in over three years — the housing market seems to be relatively immune.  Northern Idaho is showing itself to be above the national average in Equity Gains year over year which translates to excellent market conditions for both Sandpoint Idaho area homes sellers and buyers.

    Sandpoint to Bonners Ferry – Millennium Falcon Light Speed

    Weather in North Idaho is easing up no doubt.  But that does not mean you don’t keep your wits about you.  Some winter essentials in the car always a must.  Couple bottles of water, jacket, gloves, basic tools.  Be aware of your surroundings.

    Sandpoint Realty - Highway 95 Snowing

    Driving North last night from Sandpoint Realty Office I felt as though I was on the ‘Millennum Falcon’ entering into lightspeed.  Only problem was I never hit lightspeed only that look and feel a second before going into lightspeed.
