‘Friday Flag’ this ‘Friday Flag’ this week was seen as coming back from a listing appointment in Sandpoint Idaho. Spotted just off Highway 200 in Ponderay Idaho, I had to turn around to take a few pics. Thank you Northern Idaho Business, Diedrich Roasters, for Proudly flying Ole Glory,

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.

‘Friday Flag’ this week will give us one last look at the harsh winter behind us. I do enjoy the contrast of Ole Glory against the shades of the turbulent clouds.
One of my favorite spots to enjoy the flag so you have have seen it in a few different photo’s although may not recognize it because the look can change so much with the seasons.
Thank you Bonners Ferry Idaho for proudly flying our USA Flag at Bonners Ferry Memorial Park, for not only the locals to enjoy but all those entering North Idaho or exiting.

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.
Sandpoint Realty recent listing (courtesy Rain Silverhawk) is an excellent example of location-location-location.
Just at the upper portion of the aerial you can see the home at the outskirts of Sandpoint Idaho & Ponderay Idaho city limits. Marked are some nearby well known locations. Also within the same radius, and not marked, are several restaurants, hotels, medical, grocery, Post Office, multi screen theater, and of course a fast food haven along Hwy 95.
Also of note should be that Schweitzer Ski Resort Village is but 9 miles from their base Park & Ride, if one chooses to drive rather than take the shuttle. Access to Highway 95 (highway 2 leg to Bonners Ferry) and Highway 200 (to Clark Fork and Hope Idaho) very simple and accessible.
As seen in the short YouTube video above the home alone, on this very sought after and secluded street, is reason enough to set up a time to view, if not at least ask for additional information. Add the benefits of these city comforts, shown on the aerial, all being less than 2 miles away, and this a must see home in Sandpoint Idaho.
