Flathead Lake Real Estate - March 2025 Sales

Flathead Lake Real Estate

The battle between winter and spring continues to be waged on Flathead Lake. Blizzard-like conditions followed by warm days in the mid-60s mark the right of passage for April. The lake has taken on its annual emerald coloring from the glacial silt in the spring runoff.

There were three reported sales around the lake for the month of March, adding to a solid start for this year's sales.

Inventory appears to have stabilized, slightly above last year at this time for residential listings, but down for land listings. Limited inventory will keep transaction counts low this year and continue to buoy list prices.
