What We’re Noticing This Week:

✅ Ada County continues to be competitive for sellers—even with fewer new listings, homes are moving fast, and buyers are paying top dollar for well-presented properties.

✅ Canyon County is seeing fewer new listings, but that sharp 10% increase in sold prices shows buyers are still stepping up when the right home hits the market.

✅ Buyers: With pricing fluctuating week to week, staying pre-approved and ready to tour quickly can make all the difference. Now is a great time to make a move before summer crowds pick up.

✅ Sellers: Less competition (fewer listings) + strong buyer demand = your opportunity to shine. Strategic prep and pricing still matter!

✅ Renters/Investors: If you’re on the fence, keep in mind that months of inventory are slowly climbing, which means more options are hitting the market. You may have a better chance now to secure your ideal property.
