  • % Change: +6.6%

Summary/Context:

  • The numbers are skewed by our unusually harsh winter weather during the 1st quarter that continues into our Spring Market.
  • Listing inventory declined 10.3%
  • Months’ supply of listing inventory declined 22.7%.
  • Pending sales declined 2.5%.
  • Average and median sales prices posted healthy, reasonable increases.
  • We would probably be selling more homes if we had more listing inventory and better weather.
  • New home sales are benefitting from the severe lack of resale listing inventory.
  • Our lack of listing inventory is driving rising sales prices as buyers compete for scarce listings.
  • 580 of our 1,581 available listings are TBB (To Be Built) or UC (Under Construction) homes that aren’t viable options for buyers wanting to buy and close promptly.
  • There are only 1,001 existing homes for sale in Ada County, in all price ranges, spread over 17 MLS areas.

Data pertains to Ada County single-family homes on lot or acreage.

Data does not include condo or townhome properties.

Available listings, pending sales, and months’ supply pertain to end of 1st quarter for both years.
