Quick Snapshot of the North Idaho Housing Market in October 2025 (September's figures)

-
With rates remaining stubbornly high, buyers are in a strong negotiating position as high inventory is making it tough for sellers to attract eyeballs.

Because of this, it's still the most optimal time to buy compared to any time in the past few years (if you can afford it). If you want the house, you can likely purchase it without much competition

Coeur d'Alene Housing Market Recommendations
Here's how I recommend responding.
Buying
Buyers in the Coeur d'Alene market should look at the substantial inventory levels here and 89 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, they are in fact posting strong growth figures. So expect to be able to buy the home you want to buy without facing an onslaught of competition but don’t expect those low ball offers to be well received. That being said you can expect to negotiate reasonable inspection concessions and pull other levers like requesting closing costs be covered by the seller on a case by case basis. So overall it’s a pretty pleasant market to be a buyer right now.
Selling
Sellers in the Coeur d'Alene market should look at high inventory levels and a significant DOM as a sign that selling is not going to be easy. You absolutely must go through your home 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, you can quite literally waste 6 months doing this. However, sellers should take some comfort in the fact that home sales are up on a YOY basis this month so homes are being sold.
