Inventory

In terms of available homes on the market, inventory had seen significant upward movement early last year but available homes starting dropping in August 2022 and continued to do so through March of this year. However, April did see a 23% increase in listings with 198 homes on the market and May increased to 218. That provides buyers with more choices.

Of the homes currently available, 21 are condominiums, 11 are townhouses, six are manufactured homes and the rest are single family homes.

In the past twelve months, 810 residential homes sold in Kalispell which is an average of 68 per month. With 218 homes currently for sale, that means there are 3.2 months of inventory currently available which is higher than last month. At this time, Kalispell remains a seller's market.

Hi Kat... a 53% increase in sales is nothing to sneeze at... pretty much a seller's market at my end, as well.

True, Nina Hollander, Broker (about the sneezing). And I'm sure you are a seller's market still!

Excellent report Kat Palmiotti . There are so many things that could be effecting the market at this time that it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out. With the Saudis talk of cutting back on oil production and currently visiting with Venezuela about it we could see a short term squeeze of cash flow if Biden is smart enough to start pumping American oil. If he would do that it would be GREAT for oil producing States like ND. I'd love to hear the shouts of "Drill Baby Drill" once again.

Kat- It's been interesting to watch the different markets and the changes that have been occurring going from the frenzy of a seller's market to a hopefully more balanced market.
