📊 What’s Happening in the Boise Housing Market?

After a mild summer, many expected home sales to cool. But the truth is, homes are still moving quickly when priced and presented correctly. In fact, one of our recent listings received a full-price offer in just 3 days.

Here’s what we’re seeing:

Buyer demand is steady: Families are still moving into the Treasure Valley for affordability, lifestyle, and jobs.
Sellers must be strategic: Homes that check all the boxes — priced right, staged well, and marketed aggressively — are selling fast.
Inventory is competitive: More homes are on the market compared to 1–2 years ago, giving buyers choices.
Interest rates remain a key factor: While rates aren’t at historic lows, many buyers are adjusting their expectations and still making moves.

👩‍💼 What This Means for Sellers

If you’re thinking about selling your home in Boise or the surrounding Treasure Valley cities, now is a great time. The buyers are out there — but they’re selective.

To maximize your chances of selling quickly and for top dollar, focus on these 3 things:

Strategic Pricing: Don’t chase the market. A smart price attracts buyers and sparks competition.
Presentation: Clean, staged, and photo-ready homes stand out online (where 97% of buyers start their search).
Marketing Reach: Professional marketing across social media, video, and local networks ensures your home doesn’t get overlooked.
