From Our Friends At Boise Regional REALTORS®

ADA COUNTY

MEDIAN SALES PRICE —

  • The MSP for single-family and resale homes rebounded from Jun 2024. Single-family homes slipped by nearly $25k and resale homes shrank by over $59k from Jun to Jul. 
  • In contrast, new build's MSP rose by nearly $25k.

HOMES SOLD —

  • Closed activity bumped up across the board with resale boosted nearly 70 sales from Jun 2024. M
  • This is the highest number of single-family sales in a month since Jun 2022.

PENDING SALES —

  • We've surpassed Jul 2023 by nearly 200 pending sales for single-family homes. Most of that hunger was appeased by new construction homes.
  • This increased YOY hunger fortunately didn't dry up Jul's inventory reserves.

INVENTORY —

  • Inventory for all single-family homes has been rising for 6 months now, giving buyers a summer treat: options.
  • Jul marked the highest single-family inventory in 20 months.

DAYS ON MARKET —

  • In Jan, the market speeds for both resale and new construction were nearly identical but now new builds are remaining on the market nearly twice as long as existing homes.
"The importance of accurate pricing and stronger marketing is increasing with recent market changes - minor interest rate declined, the flattening of the Median Sales Price, Days on Market fluctuations, and inventory increases. Prep yourself for those trickier conversations with sellers." ~Elizabeth Hume, Boise Regional REALTORS® 2024 President


CANYON COUNTY

MEDIAN SALES PRICE —
  • With a spike in closings and shorter market speeds, new construction saw a slight MSP boost in Jul (a contrast to the previous 2 months).
  • Even with the $7k MOM dip, resale's MSP remains above 2023's MSPs.

HOMES SOLD —

  • Both sectors saw 30-60 more homes sold in Jul compared to Jun, a welcome sign that consumers are continuing to buy/sell in the later summer months.

PENDING SALES —

  • New build's incoming contracts took a snooze for the first time since Apr 2024, a surprising contrast to the metrics that would typically point to a rise in market hunger (MSP, DOM, and closed sales).

INVENTORY —

  • This is the third consecutive month with >1,000 available single-family homes, a trend we hadn't seen since early winter 2022.
  • We're nearly double Jul 2023's options.

DAYS ON MARKET —

  • Similar to Ada County, the chasm between resale and new construction's market speeds has stretched since late Summer 2023. The length of time that a home is listed prior to it being fully built can contribute to this.

"Statistically, you are in a seller's market. The data indicates you may be headed toward a 'balanced' market by Fall if the trend continues. This is a great time to get a buyer into a home if they have been waiting." ~Elizabeth Hume, Boise Regional REALTORS® 2024 President

ADA COUNTY

MEDIAN SALES PRICE —

  • The single-family MSP took a break from its $30k MOM spike last month but still bumped up $1.5k since Mar.
  • Resale homes recovered slightly from MOM hikes in Apr, easing by nearly $2k compared to Mar 2024.

HOMES SOLD —

  • We're up by about 100 home sales in Ada County compared to the previous year, a strong start to the Spring season.
  • New builds had the highest sales counts in Apr since Mar 2023 (324).

PENDING SALES —

  • Ada County hasn't seen this frequency of pending sales since Jun 2022.
  • Apr's resale pending sales outshined all months since May 2022, up by 120 new contracts since Mar 2024.

INVENTORY —

  • Apr 2024 marked the strongest YOY jump (+19.9%) since Mar 2023 (+89.3%).
  • With a spike in pending contracts, home sales, and market speeds, increased inventory is a welcome friend.

DAYS ON MARKET —

  • Single-family market speeds accelerated to Summer 2023 speeds this month.
  • Resale's DOM shrank beyond what we've seen since Jun 2022 (14 days). New builds sold 8 days faster in Apr compared to Mar.

A MESSAGE FROM BRR'S PRESIDENT —

"April experienced a seemingly balanced boost to all areas of the market: while market demand increased, so did the available number of homes. We're excited to see the uptick in both buyer and seller activity."

~Elizabeth Hume, Boise Regional REALTORS® 2024 President


CANYON COUNTY

MEDIAN SALES PRICE —
  • Single-family homes added approx. $16k to their MSP from Mar to Apr 2024, up $40k from Apr 2023.
  • New builds carried the most weight for MSP shifts, boosting by $20k from Mar to Apr 2024.

HOMES SOLD —

  • In the past year, the only month we've seen >420 home sales was Aug 2023 with 435 closed contracts.
  • There was a 60-home hike in MOM sales for resale and 11-home slide for new builds.

PENDING SALES —

  • New resale contracts haven't been this hot since May 2022 at 297 newly signed contracts.
  • On the contrary, new build trends have been back-and-forth since Jan.

INVENTORY —

  • Apr showed a much-needed recovery of inventory, nearing the selection we had prior to the initial spike of interest rates (Oct 2022 at 7.08%).
  • Like Ada, new inventory is combatting market demand.

DAYS ON MARKET —

  • DOM for Canyon County have remained unchanged for the past 3 months.
  • Canyon's new build DOM was the only sector in BRR's jurisdiction to experience a MOM slow-down.

A MESSAGE FROM BRR'S PRESIDENT —

"While availability between new construction and resale are nearly identical, trends for each sector remain unique due to price point and consumer desire."
