Home sales remain even but new inventory could shift Flathead Valley market

The housing stock in the Flathead Valley is increasing, but not enough yet to bring prices down.  

Heading into the new year, the Flathead should see a healthier housing market, said Lakeside real estate agent David Fetveit. Construction costs have normalized from two years ago, but high interest rates continue to be the bane of the housing market. 

According to Fetveit, housing prices have stagnated for around two years. Since the population boom that rode the coattails of the pandemic, housing prices jumped, leaving the county with all-time high prices.
