North Idaho Real Estate Market Report – 1st Quarter 2019

North Idaho Real Estate Market Report – ‘Active’

1st quarter 2019

I have communicated before the diversity to be found both in housing and land characteristics, in North Idaho. To give a standard baseline, to review with consistency, I put some basic parameters in with which all searches are based on: $0 to $750,000.00, minimum 1 bedroom 1 bath, single family home. Figures are always Median to a search, and not the average. This particular North Idaho Market Report is comparing ‘Active’ listings over the course of the 1st quarter 2019.

The first items that jump off the page are two drastic jumps in opposite directions. Sandpoint’s listing price jumped approximately an incredible 33% to $486,250 from February and Priest River’s listed price dropped a little less than 20% from February listed price. Both are huge jumps.

Overall the market shows itself as holding within roughly 10% of January pricing, either to the upside or downside. Sandpoint out of town and Priest River being the exceptions by a large #. As we head into spring we will see better if the harsh February weather contributed a little or a lot to these figures.

In town pricing for both Bonners Ferry and Sandpoint maintained a steady plateau. The obvious being the drastic difference in pricing between Bonners Ferry in town, and Sandpoint City.

I believe Naples is not an accurate representation simply because of lack of sales. 2 in March. Median or Average could be thrown off with only one listing being askew. See Post “North Idaho Market Report – Number of Listing and Days on Market” for a more complete overall look on number of listings and Days on Market.

While these reports can give an overall trend there are niches specific and to themselves. If you are interested in selling or buying you best serve yourself by asking for information more specific in nature. these figures are based on Selkirk MLS search results. While deemed reliable they are not guaranteed.

Communication ! Too Often Overlooked

Communication ! Too Often Overlooked

Thx Mark. Keeping me updated is exactly why I switched to you….much appreciated. These words were written to me shortly after listing a Sandpoint Log Home. This simple statement meant more than the seller could possibly know. When I started Real Estate, lack of communication was stated as the #1 complaint of public towards Realtors. Today it remains in the same position. Communication is not something that just happens. Like any skill set it takes work and practice.

With communication being important I also understand why my clients are hiring me. They want a professional to guide them in either buying or selling their home. With that said I was very pleased to communicate, to the owner of the Sandpoint Log Home, that we had an accepted offer. This came in soon after the seller sent me the above thank you. CONGRATULATIONS Perry A. on the accepted offer!

I am not so foolish to think that communication alone brought the offer. I do however strongly believe its importance is mostly overlooked. As we move forward I will continue communicating the details, of this transaction, and what should be expected. It would be foolish to think that even the most mundane details, to me thru repeated actions, should also be a detail my client is familiar, and comfortable with.
