Bonners Ferry market right now
Around 30 is balanced. Lower scores lean toward buyers. Higher scores lean toward sellers, with 45+ indicating strong seller conditions.
Inventory held at 45.
Steve's take
Bonners Ferry looks a little cooler, even though the median asking price is higher. Inventory is still 45 homes, the index slipped from 31 to 30, and 47% of listings have had a price cut. The report suggests the mix of homes for sale may explain the higher median. I wouldn't read that as every home gaining value.

What stands out
A higher asking price doesn't tell the whole story.
Inventory is unchanged at 45 homes since October 7. The median asking price rose from $649,000 to $675,000, while the Market Action Index slipped from 31 to 30. Forty-seven percent of active listings have had a price reduction, and median days on market is 105.
The report describes cooling supply-and-demand conditions and suggests that the mix of homes being listed may help explain the higher asking-price median. I would look at the actual competing properties before treating that increase as stronger values across the market.
How to read this
The ZIP-code average is only the starting point.
Bonners Ferry includes a wide mix of homes and rural property. A house in town, acreage outside town, and a distinctive rural property can behave very differently even when they share the same ZIP code.
Median list price is not the same as median sale price. Days on market, price reductions, inventory, and buyer demand are most useful when they are compared with the specific property someone is actually considering.
