Flathead Lake Real Estate - May 2024 Sales

Flathead Lake Real Estate

 

There was one waterfront sale reported for Flathead Lake in May bringing the year-to-date total to just over $17M in sales with six transactions. The slow start to the selling season has this year trailing the past few years in both units and volume over the same period.

 

Inventory has begun to increase, including some lower priced properties that have moved the median list price down. We expect this will result in increased sales activity as we move through the summer season.
