🏡 November Market Update: What Buyers Need to Know

As we move deeper into November, the Treasure Valley housing market continues to show subtle seasonal shifts — with new listings slowing slightly, prices holding steady, and opportunities opening up for buyers ready to make their move.

Here’s what this week’s numbers mean if you’re thinking about buying a home before the end of the year.

Ada County experienced steady growth this week, with sellers continuing to benefit from healthy buyer activity.

📍 Ada County Snapshot

• 255 new listings this week (⬇️3%)

• $742,688 average listing price (⬆️10%)

• $618,750 average sold price (⬆️5%)

• 215 homes sold (⬆️9%)

• 2.5 months of inventory — steady from last week

💡 What this means: While prices have ticked up slightly, Ada County’s inventory remains balanced — giving buyers a little breathing room compared to the fast-paced spring and summer markets. Sellers are pricing more strategically, and motivated buyers are finding success with negotiated terms like closing cost credits and home warranties.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy, this window between Thanksgiving and the new year can be one of the most flexible times to negotiate.

CC Market Update

🌄 Canyon County Snapshot

• 98 new listings (⬇️27%)

• $536,892 average listing price (⬆️6%)

• $490,438 average sold price (⬆️1%)

• 75 homes sold (⬇️33%)

• 2.6 months of inventory (⬆️3%)

💡 What this means: Canyon County continues to be one of the most affordable options in the Valley, even as average prices hold steady. With fewer new listings entering the market, competition may tighten — but well-qualified buyers can still find great deals, especially on homes that have been listed longer than 30 days.

🔑 Buyer Tip of the Week

If you’re planning to buy this winter, get pre-approved before the holidays. Interest rates are starting to stabilize, and homes sitting on the market during November and December often come with motivated sellers and extra incentives.

Plus, fewer buyers shopping this time of year means less competition — and a better chance of finding a home that truly fits your needs.

💬 Final Thoughts

Both Ada and Canyon counties are showing a healthy, steady market heading into the winter months. Prices are holding, inventory is balanced, and sellers are more open to negotiation — all great signs for buyers ready to make their move before the new year.

At House of Palmer, we help buyers navigate these shifting conditions with confidence and strategy — whether it’s your first home or your forever one.
