Boise Regional REALTORS® (BRR) is kicking off the year with new market reports that provide a more detailed view of the region’s housing market. Starting with January 2016 data, we will dig deeper into trends happening within price points, between existing homes and new construction, and highlight sales and price trends by city, while continuing to report county-level trends.
The new reports for Ada County and for Canyon County are now available here.
Carey Farmer, President of Boise Regional REALTORS® and Associate Broker at Group One Real Estate: “This new level of detail helps consumers understand the trends behind the trends, while also giving our REALTOR® members another tool to explain these market variations to their buyers and sellers.”
For example, looking at the Months Supply of Inventory metric for homes priced between $200,000-$249,999, as of January 2016, the demand for existing homes in Ada County far outpaced the supply, putting sellers in a great position to list. That said, buyers have a variety of options to choose from in new construction both in Ada and Canyon Counties.
“2016 started off much stronger compared to last year, both in price and the number of sales in most segments,” said Farmer. “I’ve encouraged many homeowners who are thinking of waiting until spring to list their homes, to talk to a REALTOR® now. As the January 2016 market report shows, there are huge opportunities for sellers in nearly every price point in Ada County, and especially for homes priced under $300,000 in Canyon County.”
Key metrics show increases in closed sales, pending sales, and median sales compared to a year ago for all single-family homes with all price points combined:
