This page tracks what homes in Bear Lake Hills actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 6 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated October 2026.
Read this one loosely. Fewer than eight homes closed here in the last year, so every median on this page rests on a small sample and can swing on a single sale.
What homes sold for in Bear Lake Hills
Sale prices ran from $176,000 to $357,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.
By size
| Home size | Sales | Median price | Median $/sq ft | Median days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 2,000 sq ft | 6 | $258,900 | $234 | 34 days |
A price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.
Price cuts and time to contract
Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.
Sellers who held their number went under contract in a median 32 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 62 days and still closed at 99.2% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $8,000.
Seller concessions
A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.
How buyers paid
Cash was 33% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
