Around 30 is balanced. Lower scores lean toward buyers. Higher scores lean toward sellers, with 45+ indicating strong seller conditions.
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.

How to read this
What these numbers actually measure.
These figures describe homes currently being offered for sale in ZIP code 83864. Median list price is not the same thing as median sale price, and days on market can look very different depending on property type and price range.
I use the overall snapshot to understand direction, then look more closely at the part of the market that actually applies to a buyer or seller.
