Flathead Lake Real Estate - March 2024 Sales

Flathead Lake Real Estate

There were two reported waterfront sales for Flathead Lake real estate in March bringing the first quarter totals to just over $13M in sales with four transactions. These numbers are slightly off from last year's Q1 sales with seven transactions and $15.2M, but higher than 2022 when the first quarter yielded only $9.6M in sales from seven transactions.

While higher interest rates and inflationary pressures have imposed a cooling effect on the primary residential market, prices in the luxury waterfront segment continues to be buoyed by low inventory and sustained demand. We expect to see a continued influx of new inventory as the weather warms up and listing season gets into full swing.
