North Idaho Real Estate Market Updates

Current real estate market updates for Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry, Sagle, Ponderay, Kootenai, Naples, Moyie Springs, and the surrounding North Idaho counties.

Updated October 16, 2026

One place to see what the local market is doing.

These are current residential listing-market snapshots for the North Idaho areas I work in most often. The numbers are useful, but they make more sense with some context. Under each market, I've added what stands out to me and what I'd be watching next.

Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry have their own full market pages. The smaller markets are kept here so the information stays useful without creating a separate thin page for every ZIP code.

Index 30

Inventory decreased to 122, 12 fewer than October 7.

Steve's take

Sandpoint has tightened up a little. There are 12 fewer homes for sale than on October 7, and the index has edged up to 30. The report points to sales outpacing supply. I'd watch whether that holds before expecting stronger pricing. A higher asking-price median alone doesn't mean home values rose.

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.

Market conditions Slight buyer advantage

Index 26

Inventory decreased to 63, 6 fewer than October 7.

Steve's take

Sagle has fewer homes for sale, but pricing still needs care. The median asking price is unchanged, and just over half the listings have had a price cut. The report says sales have been running ahead of new inventory. I'd watch for that to turn into steadier pricing before calling a shift.

Close-in Sandpoint area

Ponderay & Kootenai

These two communities sit right around Sandpoint and make more sense together for most people comparing close-in options. The reports track them separately, so I keep the underlying numbers separate rather than blending them into a made-up combined statistic.

Current market · Updated October 16, 2026

Ponderay

Report unavailable: inventory too low. No current figures or market-condition gauge are available.

Altos reports that inventory is too low to publish a market report. Current statistics and market conditions are unavailable.

Small-sample note: No current inventory count was supplied. Missing figures do not mean zero.

Steve's take

Altos isn't publishing a Ponderay report because inventory is too low. That doesn't mean there are no homes for sale or tell us which side has the advantage. I'd look at the individual listings and recent comparable activity. The October 7 figures remain in the history, but they aren't current numbers.

Index 30

Inventory increased to 5, 2 more than October 7.

Small-sample note: Only 5 active listings were reported; changes in the mix can move medians and percentages sharply.

Steve's take

Kootenai is still too small a sample for sweeping conclusions. Inventory went from three homes to five, and the median asking price fell $40,000. The report still describes soft demand and pressure on prices. I'd look closely at the actual competing homes before deciding what that means for a particular property.

Index 25

Inventory decreased to 15, 2 fewer than October 7.

Small-sample note: Only 15 active listings were reported; changes in the mix can move medians and percentages sharply.

Steve's take

Naples has tightened some, with inventory down to 15 homes and the index up from 23 to 25. The report points to sales outpacing supply, but the typical active listing has been on the market longer. With so few homes, a higher asking-price median isn't enough to call a broad price increase. I'd watch whether demand keeps improving.

Index 29

Inventory decreased to 11, 5 fewer than October 7.

Small-sample note: Only 11 active listings were reported; changes in the mix can move medians and percentages sharply.

Steve's take

Moyie Springs has tightened noticeably: inventory fell from 16 homes to 11, and the index rose from 25 to 29. The report points to sales outpacing supply. That could give sellers more room if it continues, but the remaining homes have been sitting longer. I wouldn't assume every listing has gained leverage.

Market conditions Slight buyer advantage

Index 29

Inventory decreased to 344, 40 fewer than October 7.

Steve's take

Bonner County has fewer homes for sale, and the index has edged up from 28 to 29. The report points to sales outpacing supply, which is worth watching. Buyers still have some negotiating room, and active listings are taking longer. I'd want that tightening to continue before expecting stronger prices across the county.

Inventory decreased to 839, 32 fewer than October 7.

Steve's take

Kootenai County still looks mixed. Inventory is lower than October 7, but the index is unchanged at 33 and the median asking price is slightly lower. The report describes cooling demand over several weeks. I wouldn't take fewer listings by itself as proof that sellers are gaining leverage.
