In normal years past we've usually seen the highest monthly sales during the month of June or July. It appears that our market has settled down to a normal flow, even if the total sales figure is smaller than we'd like. Single Family home sales in Ada County for the month

market: Ada County Home Sales For April - 05/05/08 12:33 PM
The most frequently asked question right now is "Are any houses selling?" Some folks seem surprised when I tell them, yes, homes are selling in the Treasure Valley right now. Definitely not on the same pace as two summers ago, but better than we saw over the winter. In fact, the

market: Ada County home Sales For March - 04/21/08 10:07 AM
Single Family home sales in Ada County increased in March, climbing back over the 400 unit level, with 430 sales closed for the month. Last year's 711 units was the third highest March on record, so the comparison is tough. And while 430 is still a fairly weak number, it is

market: Ada County Home Sales in January - 02/04/08 06:08 PM
As beautiful as it is, the snow has definitely added to the chill on the Treasure Valley real estate market this January. Only 302 Single Family homes sold in all of Ada county during the month, down from 464 a year ago. The Valley as a whole saw only 434. There

market: Taking a Closer Look - 01/14/08 07:38 PM
I wanted to make a little closer look at the numbers for last year, now that we're into January. In Ada County we finished 2007 -34% in homes sold compared to 2006, and off 33% in total sales dollars. For the year, the median price was off 2%, most of which

market: December Ada County Home Sales - 01/03/08 02:52 PM
As expected, December home sales have come in as the lowest in 2007. Single family homes in Ada County for the month totaled 372, according to MLS data. That compares quite favorably to November's 388, but it is still 38% fewer than December a year ago, and for the year leaves

Preliminary numbers from the MLS this morning show that total sales in Ada County for November fell back again to roughly September's levels. There were only 388 closed sales recorded for the month, which is a new low, and fewer than I had expected. The bright spot in the report is

market: Eagle and Lexington Hills - 11/13/07 05:26 PM
I received a comment on a blog post last week, asking about the current market in Eagle. "Eagle" has some of the widest variation in different real estate possibilities of any municipality in the Treasure Valley. I asked the commenter if he would narrow it down a bit for me, and

market: September Ada County Sales - 10/09/07 01:33 PM
It appears that people are waiting to see what happens now, in our local real estate market. September sales set a new low for the year, even below January sales. Ada County Single Family sales were only 412 units for the month of September. That is well below last September's 710

market: August Ada County Sales - 09/11/07 05:53 PM
The problem in the mortgage market in the early part of August is reflected in the latest sales figures for Ada County Real Estate. As you might remember, at the beginning of the month a couple of large lenders abruptly closed their doors, leaving many borrowers stranded without funding. Not all

market: What is "normal"? - 08/29/07 05:16 PM
I had an out of state resident contact me by email the other day about the state of the Idaho real estate market, and in particular, the market around here in Meridian and Boise. They had two questions for me, one, how are sales? And two, when will the market get

market: July Ada County Home Sales - 08/03/07 05:05 PM
Well now, this is not what we had expected. Single Family home sales in Ada County in July were surprisingly weak. Right now, the MLS is showing only 678 closed sales for July (not including townhomes and condos, or homes with acreage). That is far below last year's 903, and only

market: June Ada County Home Sales - 07/02/07 03:47 PM
Now that summer is under way, and we've all had a chance to watch home sales another month, we have a little better idea of where the market is here in Ada County. In a word, it has been "underwhelming". Single family home sales for June are looking to finish at

market: North End Boise Home Sales - 06/22/07 10:40 AM
I received a request from Dave in the comments section yesterday, asking how home sales were in Boise's North End this year compared to last year. Interesting request, so I took a couple minutes this morning to check on sales figures. My "sense" was that sales were still pretty good over

Hunter Pointe is a community of 290 homes, built in the mid-90's. It sits just north of the Meridian city center, west of Locust Grove and north of Fairview. The neighborhood's great location close to schools and shopping, along with the good sized lots (0.18 to 0.23 acre) and a variety of home

Here we are in the middle of June already! I thought it would be a good time to check out how the real estate market has been going so far this month, and in this post I'll just look at what's going on in Meridian. At the end of last week in the
