The good news is that single family home sales in Post Falls in the last 12 months are up 10% over the previous 12 months. The average sales price is up 6% over the previous time frame. Coeur d’Alene and Hayden are about the same. Our rural areas in the county have yet to show this positive result. The interesting fact in the data is that Foreclosures “REO’S” have dropped overall in our area 13% in the last 12 months. Now that is being offset by the increase in short sales. … (0 comments)

In the past 12 months 45 condo’s have sold in Coeur d’Alene between $200,000 and $1,400,000. Currently in the same price range we have 34 condo’s actively for sale.
