Polson readers have asked for a closer comparison between Polson single-family-residence (SFR) sales and those of Kalispell and Columbia Falls. Since we don’t yet have May data, let’s look at April 30 back to the prior May 1 each year (for the last three years). How many sold in each city, for each of those periods each year (see colored columns)? Same-colored lines depict the median sold price per square foot. Since readers also wanted a comparison of listing-to-contract speeds (days to contract, or DTC), I’ve added same-colored dashed lines for those.
Kalispell sells the greatest quantity, across all size ranges. Columbia Falls leads in price-per-foot, below 2,000 square feet. Polson is nipping at the heels of Kalispell, in price-per-foot.
