From Our Friends At Boise Regional REALTORS®

ADA COUNTY

MEDIAN SALES PRICE —

  • New construction led the charge in many ways this month, including in month-over-month changes for Median Sales Price (MSP) — up $34,600 compared to last month.
  • Resale's MSP took a break after last month's increases.

HOMES SOLD —

  • In stark contrast to last month's 21.1% month-over-month drop, new construction is up 9.8% compared to September 2023.
  • We may see another boost next month to homes sold for new builds, reflective of pending activity.

PENDING SALES —

  • While inventory grew, so did pending contracts for new construction (first month-over-month gain since Jun 2023).
  • Existing/resale saw its slimmest year-over-year slip since February 2022, averaging at -22.9%.

INVENTORY —

  • Single-family inventory dipped, month-over-month, for the first time since February 2023.
  • New construction options continued to grow, month-over-month.

DAYS ON MARKET —

  • Existing home's Days on Market remained steady this month while new construction rebounded to a similar pace we saw in May to July this year.

A MESSAGE FROM BRR'S PRESIDENT —

"As reported by Forbes, interest rates — currently sitting at an average of 7.79% — continue to pinch affordability. Resale's headway in median sales price is a breath of fresh air to the real estate market."

– Debbi Myers, Boise Regional REALTORS® 2023 President

CANYON COUNTY

MEDIAN SALES PRICE —
  •  Existing homes had a brief pop in median sales price in Sep 2023, reducing by $10,500 this month.
  • ▪ Oct 2023 marked the 11th consecutive YOY ease for median sales price, down approximately $6,000.

HOMES SOLD —

  • Aug and Sep 2023 both showed positive YOY sales changes, only to be retracted in Oct 2023 by 11.8%. ▪ This cooling of demand may have assisted in the decreased pressure on median sales price this month.

PENDING SALES —

  • New construction accounted for a significant portion of this month's pending sales — 71.2% of the overall pot. 
  • Oct 2023 marks the 20th month of YOY pending sale declines (since Feb 2022).

INVENTORY —

  • While unable to compete with last October's selection of 1,253 homes available, single-family home inventory was able to make a slight recovery this month compared to Sep 2023.

DAYS ON MARKET —

  • Nine days were shaved off Days on Market for single-family homes this month, compared to the same month last year.
  • Existing homes waited an extra two days on average compared to Sep 2023.

A MESSAGE FROM BRR'S PRESIDENT —

"As inventory climbs, consumers can expect to see home costs ease with the decreased pressure from demand. Canyon County was a perfect example of that dynamic this month."

~Debbi Myers, Boise Regional REALTORS® 2023 President

After all, spending the day at the lake or in air-conditioned comfort is far more inviting during those hot days.

Are you someone who eagerly anticipates Halloween, decked out in spooky decorations, ready to greet the costumed little ghouls and goblins with a bucket of candy in hand? Or, do you belong to the group who prefers to turn off the lights, draw the curtains, and hunker down inside, escaping the trick-or-treating frenzy? There's a spectrum of Halloween enthusiasm, and chances are, you may find yourself somewhere in between.

Even if you don't have young children or grandchildren of your own, there's a unique joy in experiencing Halloween night. The excitement of watching little ones parade in their costumes, eagerly collecting treats can be a heartwarming experience.

So, whether you're the neighborhood haunt master with a front yard transformed into a haunted graveyard or the neighbor who keeps the porch light on just to share in the Halloween spirit, the...
