Some Common Misconceptions
Myth #1: If there are fewer homes for sale, growth will slow down and people won't move here.

Myth #2: More building restrictions will stop the growth in the area
Fact: Tougher zoning and restrictions limit the ability to create more homes for those entering the workforce. Those who grew up in the Coeur d’Alene area won’t have the chance to stay here and first-time homebuyers will be unable to compete at higher prices.
