May 4th - May 10th
The Treasure Valley market continues to move at a healthy pace as we head further into May. While we saw a slight dip in new listings and pending activity this week, inventory continues to grow steadily across both Ada and Canyon County, giving buyers a few more opportunities heading into summer.
The market is staying active, but buyers are becoming more intentional and sellers are needing stronger pricing and presentation strategies to stand out.
📍 Ada County Market Snapshot
Ada County had 406 new listings hit the market this week, with inventory continuing to climb to 1,984 active homes. Pending sales dipped slightly, which may reflect buyers taking a little more time to compare options and negotiate.
The average sold price increased to $649,435, showing that well positioned homes are still commanding strong value even as inventory rises.
With 2.4 months of inventory, Ada County remains competitive, but buyers are finally seeing a little more breathing room than earlier this year.
What buyers should know
More inventory means more choices, but desirable homes are still moving quickly when priced correctly. Buyers who are prepared and clear on their goals are in the best position right now.
What sellers should know
Presentation matters more than ever. Buyers are comparing more homes side by side, which means pricing, marketing, staging, and condition are playing a major role in how quickly homes move.
📍 Canyon County Market Snapshot
Canyon County remained steady this week with 202 new listings and inventory climbing to 1,095 active homes.
The average listing price adjusted downward while sold prices held relatively stable at $514,842, showing continued buyer demand for well priced homes.
Inventory rose to 2.6 months, giving buyers additional flexibility while still supporting a healthy market overall.
What this means for Canyon County
Canyon County continues to attract attention for buyers looking for more value, more space, and flexibility compared to surrounding areas. Proper pricing remains key, especially as buyers become more selective.

As we move closer to summer, we are continuing to watch:
• inventory growth across the valley
• buyer confidence with interest rates
• pricing strategy becoming more important
• longer decision timelines compared to earlier spring
The market is active, but buyers are taking more time to evaluate options instead of rushing into the first available property.
