Boise Real Estate: 2011 Was A Good Year

Preliminary research indicates that we closed just over 6,500 single-family (on lot/acreage) home sales in 2011.

That’s a nice, steady upward trend compared to the past three years’ closed sales shown here:

• 2010 = 6,266
• 2009 = 5,775
• 2008 = 5,341

I will soon be putting together my 2011 Ada County Real Estate Market Review with detailed statistical data broken out by MLS area.
