July's closing data is in from the MLS — ahead of the county's official report, which lands mid-month. Here's what actually happened, city by city, with the noise labelled as noise.
What Did July Do to My Home's Value →Fresh from the Coeur d'Alene MLS — July's closed-sale medians by city, with the trailing-12-month figure beside each so you can see which monthly moves are signal and which are small-sample noise:
| Market | July median | vs prior year (month) | Trailing 12-mo median | 12-mo trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entire MLS | $575,000 | +2.7% | — | — |
| Coeur d'Alene | $607,500 | +1.3% | $615,119 | +5.9% |
| Post Falls | $529,650 | +8.1% | $529,568 | +4.8% |
| Hayden | $652,000 | +10.7% | $565,000 | +4.9% |
| Rathdrum | $615,500 | +3.4% | $576,637 | +10.7% |

Post Falls printed almost exactly on its trend. July's $529,650 sits within a hundred dollars of the trailing-year median — in a market this tight (2.1 months of supply, 59-day average sale), that consistency is the story. No froth, no stall; a queue moving through a narrow door.
Hayden's $652,000 is the month's flashiest number and its least reliable. A single month of closings in a town that spans subdivisions to lakefront estates is exactly where one large sale distorts a median. Against a trailing-year figure of $565,000, read July as “a lake-heavy closing month,” not “Hayden jumped 15% overnight.”
Coeur d'Alene came in slightly under its trailing median ($607,500 vs $615,119) — ordinary summer mix, consistent with the county pattern all year: monthly wobble around a rising annual line.
The Regional Realtors' most recent official county report, for orientation:
Source: Coeur d'Alene Regional Realtors June 2026 report (via the Coeur d'Alene Press, July 18, 2026). These are county-wide figures. The July county report is expected mid-August; this page's next update follows it.
July 2026 closings posted a $607,500 median for the city per the CdA MLS; the trailing 12 months stand at $615,119, up 5.9% year over year. The county-wide official figure is $565,000 as of the June report — a record.
That was July's single-month print, and single months in Hayden are unreliable — the town's range (subdivision to lakefront) lets one estate sale move the median. The trailing-year figure of $565,000 is the honest planning number.
July's data doesn't show it: monthly medians held at or above trend in three of four cities, and the county enters fall with inventory 10% below last year. The seasonal rhythm will slow listing flow from here — that's the calendar, not the market.
The Coeur d'Alene Regional Realtors typically publish each month's county report mid-following-month — July's is expected around mid-August. This page updates monthly, ahead of it, from MLS data directly.
