lake pend oreille real estate: Early Morning Misty Sandpoint, Idaho: Sandpoint Real Estate Blog - 09/13/11 04:32 AM
Got up this morning to ride my bike, but then decided people should know what Sandpoint looks like even on a misty day. The forecast for the day is hot and bright, but this morning is cool and the town has low lying clouds shrouding the landscape.

Same story with this home. … (0 comments)

lake pend oreille real estate: How are waterfront sales on & around Lake Pend Oreille: Sandpoint Waterfront Blog - 02/23/11 02:27 PM
So, with a 148 square mile lake, even during wintertime we normally see significant sales.

Three were condos, one of those was a bank repo, and all were under $500,000 with one exception. In fact, we haven't seen prices like this in years.
Does this mean that we are now an area that people will find affordable in terms of waterfront? Probably not as much as you would think. Waterfront is still a finite commodity in virtually all waterfront communities, … (1 comments)
