Flathead Lake Real Estate With a full lake and clear skies, the U.S. Semiquincentennial was a beautiful celebration on Flathead Lake. Falling on a Saturday, the 4th of July was one of the busiest on record for boat traffic and fireworks crowds in recent history. There were two sales reported in June bringing the total sales for this year to just over $36M and 15 transactions. The five year average through June is 21 transactions and $51.6M. Inventory remains historically tight, buyers continue to have limited options, and pricing has generally remained stable despite fewer transactions. The second half of the summer selling season should provide a better indication of whether activity rebounds or continues to trail historical averages. |

Active Waterfront Listings July is typically when waterfront inventory reaches its annual peak. This year, residential inventory is down 20 listings compared to the same time last year and remains well below the five-year average. Median active price has eased slightly to just over $3.0M. Waterfront land inventory dropped to 5 active listings. The median active price dropped significantly to $695k last month, but rebounded to approximately $1.0M. This is due primarily to the small sample size and a shifting of larger parcels coming on and off the market. |

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. The 13 sales reported this year also look like a slow start. The 26 active listings represent just over 16 months of inventory based on year-to-date sales. Two larger Bear Dance units have sold this year, establishing a new price record for Flathead Lake condominium sales. |
