Flathead Lake Real Estate - February 2026 Sales
|
Flathead Lake Real Estate It is early March and unstable Rocky Mountain spring weather is upon us. February was another relatively dry month for precipitation, and The Flathead basin is currently experiencing a "below-normal" snowpack, with levels hovering around 73% to 88% of the median as of early March. There were five sales reported in February and a handful of waterfront homes are under contract and expected to close by the end of the month. This is a bit of a bounce back from a slower start in 2026 compared to last year. For January and February last year, there were also five total sales, but with a total volume of $16.4M. The lower priced sales so far this year have been primarily down the West Shore and mid-East Shores. Slightly more isolated locations and larger (more than 100 feet) frontage parcels translated to a lower average price per front foot shown below. |

Flathead Lake Condominium Market With nearly two dozen waterfront condominium communities around Flathead Lake, there has historically been plenty of options for buyers who want the waterfront lifestyle without having to worry about maintaining a lake home. Below is a summary of currently active and sold units so far this year as compared to last year's sales. There were 26 condo sales reported in 2025. Sales started slow last year, then accelerated in early fall likely due to the lack of affordable single family inventory on the water and surpassed sales reported in 2024. |
