What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

Buyers

• Underwrite the setting. Review flood/fire maps, insurance quotes, and permit history before offering; use DOM to negotiate mitigation credits (clearing, hardening).
• Move quickly on turnkey rebuilds. Newer construction with modern efficiency can sell near asking if priced to the $400s band.

Sellers

• Documentation is marketing. Provide rebuild permits, engineering, and insurance quotes up front; transparency shortens DOM.
• Lean into lifestyle. River access, trailheads, shop space, and fiber availability matter to remote workers.

Neighborhood & Price Band Insights
