It’s not just cities seeing sticker shock in the housing market

SPOKANE—Retiree Anthony Maggi put his Republic home on the market five years ago and got no takers.

It’s not just cities seeing sticker shock in the housing market

Now, as the home-selling season of spring approaches, he’s trying again, with one big difference: The list price for his four-bedroom, 2,200-square-foot home has more than doubled.

“When we put it on the market in 2017, we put it at $89,000,” Maggi said. “It’s now on the market at $199,900.”

Meanwhile, Realtor Cynda Bragg just closed a deal for a couple selling their home in the woods northwest of town for $224,000, almost three times what it sold for in April 2020.

Bragg said the sellers — who did not want to be interviewed — had initially listed the home at $195,000, before receiving some advice from someone from the West Side.
