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.

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.

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. 

Be Safe – Stay Healthy

I have recently had to often answer the question of ‘is the North Idaho Housing Market slowing down?’.  The question obviously coming from concerns of where the market is, and where it may go.  The chart below is from NAR – National Association of Realtors.

While stable is not a bad place to be I sincerely do not think we will be there during the 2022 months ahead.  North Idaho is still in a very strong sellers market.  Seldom do you see a listing without multiple offers.  So even if there were 1/2 dozen offers on a home maybe 6 months ago and 3 offers today, I do not believe it turns it to a stable market.  

Keep in mind an equal buyer / seller market is roughly 90 days on market average.  We are not even half of that figure.  Keep in mind also some sellers are pricing themselves completely out of the market looking only to see what they may get.  Those listings at face value will askew the figures at a nonchalant glance.  

Also seen on the same post is the seller chart.  It is also showing stable per NAR.  Our numbers in North Idaho do not come close to indicating a stable market, or a market that is becoming equal buyer/seller.  We are very much still in a Strong Seller Market.
