Coeur d'Alene Housing Market Recommendations
Here's how I recommend responding.
Buyers in this market should look at the substantial inventory levels here and 70 DOM as a sign that they can shop for a home in a leisurely manner. Buyers should understand though that home prices are not softening in CDA like they are elsewhere. So in short, you can buy the home you want to buy here in CDA without facing an onslaught of competition but you’re unlikely to get low ball offers accepted. That being said you can expect to negotiate reasonable inspection concessions and pull other levers like closing costs along the way. So overall it’s a pretty pleasant market to be a buyer right now.
Sellers in this market should look at high inventory levels and a significant DOM as a sign that selling is not going to be a passive endeavor. I’ve been saying this for a few months more so forgive me for sounding like a broken record but you cannot just list a home in any condition and hope it’ll sell. You absolutely must go through the property carefully and pick out everything that’s going to negatively distract a buyer during their initial home tour. Cleaning, staging and staying on top of lawn care is also a must. And above all, your pricing strategy must be sensible and realistic. Listing it at the top of the price range to “see what happens” is a poor strategy if your objective it to sell in this market. However, sellers should take some comfort in the fact that home sales are up 11% YOY this month so homes are being sold there’s just a ton of inventory out there.
