“Saturday Spotlight”

Sandpoint Acreage with 2 Homes

A fantastic opportunity. It is very seldom we find these dual dwelling properties come available, much less on 5 acres in Sandpoint. Privacy and seclusion less than 10 miles to town. Each home has its own driveway to itself. With Smith Creek, a year round creek, as the western property line this is a must see Sandpoint acreage with 2 homes.

Very special to the property is the diversity of the two separate homes. Either offering itself as the ‘main’ living quarters. With the two private driveways and locations both homes sit separate without intrusion on the others privacy.

Sandpoint City Homes for Sale February 2018 – ‘83864’

Sandpoint City sits within the zip code of 83864. A very large area, with so much diversification it is very difficult to give any one single report that is accurate to all that is available in the 83864 area code. Currently there are 32 Sandpoint City Homes for Sale. Basic criteria for search results below.

Criteria, for Selkirk Multiple Listing Search, MLS, is basic. $750,000 maximum list price. 1 bedroom 1 bath minimum. Searched as ‘in Sandpoint City’. Single Family, Condos, Townhouses all included. The search results do not include ‘For Sale by Owner’ or Coeur D’ Alene MLS results. The results do show the trend though, that will be consistent without those results added in.

January 2016 showed 4 homes sold. Median Price of $153,000. 120 days on market. January 2017 showed 2 homes sold with a Median Price of $174,500 and 66 days on Market. An impressive 14% increase in ‘Sold’ price for the one year.

1st quarter 2016 has 20 homes being sold with a median sold price of $209,000. And 125 days on market. 1st quarter 2017 shows 18 homes sold with modest increase for median sold price of $218,000. 98 days on market.

January 2018 has me shaking my head. I went back twice to double check the results, along with active presently available. 8 homes sold. Double that of 2016 and 4 times as many 2017. Median sold price of $230,000 with days on market at 122. An impressive 24% increase in median sold price. With the 8 homes sold this January, Sandpoint City is easily on track to surpass sales for 1st quarter of both 2016 and 2017.

Current inventory of 32 with January Sold’s at 8, along with the 122 days on market shows a 4 month inventory. What is phenomenal is the median listing price at the current time. $314,450.00. While not the sold price, it is 44% above the median sold price of 2017’s $218,000.00. Incredible.

I do not for see Sandpoint City Home Sales slowing. I question whether they can sustain, or realize, the jump in market price that is showing between current listing price and even sold’s of just one month ago. While great for sellers it is putting a strain on buyers and the market in general.

Bonner County Market Report 2017

North Idaho housing is as varied as the terrain it sits within. Sandpoint area homes, with 83864 zip code, alone range from in town, river front, lake front, large acreage, ski resort, and even farming. This Bonner County Market Report 2017 is meant to give a general trend. Specifics vary greatly within the county.

Total transactions for 2015 number 754. 2016 number 806, with 2017 numbering 838. With a 10% increase in transactions overall and a modest increase from 2016 to 2017, of 4%, the market is showing different than what many perceive.

The Bonner County Single Family Home SOLD price median for 2015 was $230,000.00. In 2016 the SOLD price median was $249,000.00, with 2017 median at $273,250.00. An overall increase of approximately 16%. These figures stand in line with the national chart shown below indicating, surprisingly, Idaho ranked #5 with 9.2% overall housing price increase 2017. Interesting is the fact that sold price to listing price, for all 3 years, has remained steady at roughly 96%.

Housing Price growth US 2017

Both the average and median Days on Market were exactly the same for 2015 and 2016. 142 and 99 respectively. In 2017 ‘Days on Market’ showed a decrease in both average and median by approximately 10%.

What is the take away for buyers and sellers? The market remains strong and continues to show itself as a sellers market. Low interest rates are a big plus for buyers and sellers alike. More buying power allows for continued growth in selling prices, with more buyers able to qualify. Any raise in rates will see an already locally stretched budget pressed to the limit though.

The increased housing pricing continues as a result of confidence in a growing economy. More buyers. And while the transactions have increased slightly they remain steady year to year. What is being thought of as a tremendous jump with number of transactions, is actually the lack of inventory at any one time. 5 people looking at 2 similar homes has a completely different feel than that of 5 people looking at 10 similar homes.

In my opinion now is an excellent time for both sellers and buyers in the Real Estate market. Any professional Real Estate agent should be able assist with the nuances of a specific area.

I believe it is worthy of note also. 4th quarter showed signs that 2018 will hold with the same pattern. Approximately a 4% increase in both listing and sold prices of 4th quarter 2017 compared to overall 2017.
