Hello April,

Spring is finally making its way to McCall, and with it comes longer days, melting snow, and the perfect time to talk real estate!

Whether you're thinking about listing your home or just curious about the market, I've got some spring listing tips to help you make the most of the season. We'll also take a closer look at the price and sales trends for our local "ski in/ski out" properties.

Plus, there's plenty happening around town—from community events to big development news—and I’ve rounded up everything you need to know. Grab a cup of coffee, and let’s dive in!

As ski season winds down, I thought it would be a fun change to do some analysis of the area's "ski in/ski out" properties. Soon, we'll have some options at Brundage Mountain to include, but for now, we'll look at the data from Tamarack over the last six years.

Check out the jump in the median price between 2019 and 2020! That was a 62% price increase in one year alone! Overall, Tamarack properties have seen a total increase in median price of 157%, an average of 26% per year.

Tamarack Sales Data:

Sales volume is trending up overall, and homes are spending fewer days on the market compared to 2019. Prices trended down slightly between 2023 and 2024 - we'll be watching whether that's the start of a trend or a result of the mix of home types and sizes being sold.
