Idaho county real estate season around the corner

For those who like to keep track of various market data that can provide insight into the economic conditions of the real estate industry in the area of Idaho County, I’d like to share information I’m able to glean from the Lewis Clark Multiple Listing System. 

All but 3 real estate agencies in the Idaho county territory are members of the local board of realtors.  Harman Agency in Cottonwood, Solberg Agency of Grangeville and Wolfinger Land and Auction of Grangeville are the 3 that are independent agencies.  Data supplied as a economic indicator does not include the listings and sales of these three agencies, and therefore we are dealing with skewed results. 

The data I am providing is based upon the markets in Idaho County only, and does not include Orofino, Kamiah, Craigmont real estate activity, nor any other town that is not situated in Idaho County.

In tabulating information, I was able to enter all activities for the past 30 days and here are the current results:

SOLDS:  4 total in the past 30 days: Elk city vacant land (1), Grangeville homes (1), White Bird Manufactured home without land (1), and Kooskia home (1).   All the homes were sold at a price range between $75,000 and $92,700.  The Elk City land was a large tract of 70+ acres for a price of a bit over $400K.

In the past 30 days there were 32 new listings, 80% of those vacant land listings.

In the past 30 days there were approx 12 price changes on existing listings.  Most of these are corrections to make the listings more marketable and to match current economic conditions.

This is the end of this report.  in my opinion, our real estate season will be stable but buyers are savvy and new listings should be priced according to the market to get action. otherwise the homes and land - with some relevance to location and neighborhoods, will sit while other more appropriately priced properties and motivated sellers, will attract buyers and a sale will result. 

More marketing reports next month.

Hwy 95 closed from Grangeville to Cottonwood, ID

http://511.idaho.gov/

For real time updates of road closures in Idaho, visit the above link, especially when planning travel and zoom in on the area where your travel plans will take you.

Today, February 6, 2007 in the Grangeville Idaho area, we are experiencing high winds, blowing snow and most roads are being reported with packed snow.  Its best to stay off roadways if you do not have to travel. 

Hwy 95 is closed from Grangeville Idaho to Cottonwood ID.

Sunshine, some clouds, and the possibility of more snow on the way

Waking up to a blue sky with lots of sunshine was a plentiful gift from Mother Nature.  But will it last?  Probably not.  For now though, the outdoors looks inviting, and the snow plows can take a rest. 

This has been quite the dramatic winter.  I’ve lived in Grangeville since 1999 and I’ve not seen a winter like this one, so full of the elements that the word “WINTER” conjures. 

Living several miles to the east of town, we’re actually a couple of hundred feet lower in elevation than the town of Grangeville.  But I would venture to say we’re about even when it comes to the cumulative snowfall to date.  We’ve measured approximately 52 inches that has fallen since November. 

Our average snowfall is about 25 inches from Fall to Spring. 

Temperatures today should hover in the low 30’s.  I’m off to put some signs up and take care of errands in town. 

Have a great Saturday!

New Grangeville Idaho Weather Post

Years ago I kept a weather log at www.grangevilleidaho.com and I learned later that alot of people from outside the area were following that log.

Since I’m blogging several times a week, I will resume the weather notices. Visitors to this site can click on the “weather” category to pull up the most recent weather notices easily.  When possible, I will post photos to show the appearance of the weather from my vantage point 6 miles east of town.

Today of course, the weather conditions are poor.  I heard from a friend in town they are calling it BLIZZARD CONDITIONS in town and Hwy 95 has been closed all morning.  Blowing snow and drifts are the real hazards, including high wind.

Schools are closed today in the Mountain View School District 244.  Check their website for other notices pertaining to school closures. www.sd244.org

Best thing to do today is to stay put inside safe and warm.
