The read
Why this market scores where it does
Coeur d'Alene merits investigation for buyers who can accept a thin starting yield in exchange for positive demand signals and lean resale inventory. Buyers requiring low entry costs, high current yield, or minimal development and flood exposure should avoid it.
Opportunity rests on measured demand: CES jobs rose 0.88%, asking rent rose 3.22%, and tax filings show net migration of 793 households. Rent growth also exceeded the 2.35% rise in home values. That mix supports leasing conditions but does not establish unusually strong pricing power.
The constraint is the entry math. A $608,665 median home value corresponds to a 3.61% gross yield and 7.44 times median household income. Meanwhile, 1,984 permits indicate a meaningful pipeline even with 2.7 months of current supply. The low modeled climate loss ratio is favorable at metro level, but inland flood remains the dominant parcel-level hazard to investigate.

Release-to-release evidence
What actually changed
This comparison exists because at least one underlying source period advanced. Rebuilding the same data never creates a new observation.
Published score held steady59→59
0 ptsThe published component scores did not move in this release.
Weights were unchanged at metro-2026-07-v2-omb2023, so the movement comes from refreshed evidence and percentile ranks.
The named source periods advanced, but the measured values on this page held steady.

Coeur d'Alene, ID scoreRank #157
59Job growth80/100
CES jobs rose 0.88% -> employment provides positive but modest support for rental demand.
Rent trend48/100
Asking rent rose 3.22% while gross yield was 3.61% -> rent momentum has not translated into a high starting yield.
Affordability37/100
Home values equal 7.44 times median household income -> acquisition affordability is a material constraint.
Supply pressure32/100
The record shows 1,984 permits alongside 2.7 months of supply -> a visible construction pipeline coexists with lean resale inventory.
Climate risk87/100
The modeled annual climate loss ratio is 0.0974%, with inland flood dominant -> metro-level losses are low, but parcel-specific water exposure still requires review.

The other side
What would make this a bad buy
Generated from the same figures with the instruction to argue against the score, and published unedited. A page that only agrees with itself is an advertisement.
Three ways the case breaks
- The $608,665 median value supports only a 3.61% gross yield, leaving limited visible cushion before costs that are not published.
- The 1,984-permit pipeline means lean existing inventory of 2.7 months should not be mistaken for an absence of new-supply exposure.
- Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and the 0.0974% metro-level loss ratio does not describe each property's exposure.
