Our real estate market

Tom says that we’re definitely in a buyer’s market right now.  Our local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) has more than 3100 listings in Bonner and Boundary counties (the northern part of the Idaho panhandle).  These, of course, range from the less expensive to multi-million dollar places, from bare land to fancy houses.  But the places that seem to be getting the most interest are the lower priced properties.  There is also interest in condos and some upper range homes, especially on the water.

There are a lot of choices at good prices right now.  One of our bargains is a 5-acre piece of land just south of Sandpoint.  It has big trees, beautiful views, and power and phone at the property line – all for $79,500.  If you’re interested, we’ll be happy to look for any property that will fit your needs.  It’s a great time to buy  here in North Idaho!

 

Our friendly moose

Springtime at last!

After a very long – and very snowy – winter this year, we’re definitely enjoying spring.  Our yard and field have turned a lush shade of green now and the early flowers are in full bloom.  I guess we don’t have quite enough flowers yet since the hummingbirds have been emptying the feeder on a daily basis.  They’ll be self-sufficient soon.

We’ve also enjoyed watching a moose in our field lately.  She’s definitely had a hard winter, but she seems to be in good health.  She spent nearly an hour on our hillside the other night, calmly munching on a variety of shrubs and the grove of young aspen trees.  We haven’t seen any bears yet but they must be around.  Watching all the wildlife is one of the wonderful things we enjoy about life here in North Idaho. 

Welcome to the C.M. Brewster Blog

C.M. Brewster & Co. Real Estate is a team of Sandpoint Realtors with experience. In the late seventies, Chuck Brewster started this grass-roots real estate group. The original “Co.” included Tom Renk our current broker, who has been helping Sandpoint area residents buy and sell property for 26 years. Many changes have developed in Sandpoint over time, but Tom has been able to hold on to the original spirit of a company that aims first and foremost to help people accomplish their hopes, dreams, and needs in Northern Idaho real estate.

Why Sandpoint?

An innate love for this beautiful territory has been the basis for our existence from the beginning. The city of Sandpoint, Idaho is surrounded by vast amounts of land – much of it raw, rugged, and remote. Although community growth in recent years has made some of the scenic areas more accessible, there still are certainly unique aspects to real estate ownership in North Idaho. The help of C.M. Brewster’s team of realtors with special knowledge and deep roots in the community has been valuable to thousands of Sandpoint area residents over the years.
