Jackie Suarez REAL Market Update - Brought to you by Jackie Suarez, Associate Broker PEND OREILLE, PRIEST AND CLARK FORK WATERFRONT MARKET UPDATE Our lakes and rivers are at full pool and the waterfront market is in full swing. This year’s warm front has drawn in eagle-eyed investors chasing well-priced deals, and so far they’re scooping them up. Residential sales volume has increased 8% compared to 2025 year to date, and our median sales price for a home or condo with frontage is $2,350,000. That’s $400,000 more than last year’s median sales price. Cash buyers continue to make waves, accounting for 64% of sales. Buyers, if you’re waiting for prices to cool off, you may have missed the boat. The silver lining? Sellers are showing more exibility than last year, and inventory has nally risen — with 13 months of waterfront homes in the pipeline for the market to absorb. Thinking About Buying or Selling? It’s high season. Investors are taking the plunge when the price is right and there’s ready money waiting to make a splash. Be aware, be prepared and be positioned. If you’re looking to jump in, current offerings range from a twobedroom Sand Creek condo at $499,000 to an Oden Bay estate with guest home priced at $8,950,000. Call me for details — I’ll help you navigate the currents. 3 Tips for Today’s Market 1. Go local. Work with fulltime pros who know the terrain, trends, and microclimates here and can connect you with the right resources. 2. Sellers: Mind the forecast. Strong presentation keeps you competitive. Too much blue sky invites a course correction. Be ready adjust your sails for a sale this season. 3. Buyers: Stay steady. Know the market before you get your feet wet. Line up nancing, inspect carefully, and be ready to recognize a good value. Other buyers may be willing to dive in for the right deal.
Our market is constantly changing. What is important to me remains the same - God, Family and Relationships. “Jackie’s work was way beyond my expectations and better than any other agents we have ever worked with. She did a lot of research on the property to answer prospective buyer’s questions. This was not the typical property. When we sell our present home, we would not consider anyone else. She is kind and a very competent professional. We now consider Jackie a good friend. Bill and Lois B., Warren Island, Hope, ID. “Jackie was very responsive to any questions and critical in getting our offer accepted in a competitive situation. Jackie helped to facilitate the purchase every step of the way with local services, title company and working with the selling agent. We would recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a home in the Sandpoint area.” Craig and Theresa, Bottle Bay, Sagle, ID
