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 well over January's lo...

Single family home sales in Ada County rose to 371 units in February over January's 302 units.  Median listing price was $206,990 while median sold price was $203,000.  Here is a good place to take a closer look at "median price".  In January, the median price was $217,500.  Does that mean that h...

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 is just no way to spin that int...

With all the talk about mortgages resetting and people losing their homes to foreclosure, there has also been a corresponding rise in foreclosure scams across the country.  The Boise real estate market hasn't been hit the way many parts of the nation have, but there has been an increase in the nu...

The housing and real estate markets are cyclical.  I know that the local paper and the National press haven't reminded you of that fact, preferring instead to trumpet the doom of falling home prices and slowing building starts.  But trust me, the market IS cyclical, and every up-swing is followed...

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 happened in the last few months as th...

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 us down about 36%...

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 that invento...

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 he said the Lex...

October home sales in Ada County rebounded slightly from the barely 400 units in September.  There were a total of 455 Single Family homes closed during the month.  For the year to date, 6059 homes have been sold in the county, as reported to the MLS.  If you consider Fall of 2005 as the rough to...
