📊 Treasure Valley Market Update: December 8–14

Steady Momentum as We Head Into the New Year

This week’s housing data for Ada and Canyon County shows a balanced December market with healthy activity from both buyers and sellers — even as we move deeper into the holiday season.

Inventory remains steady, sold prices are holding strong, and pending contracts continue to climb, proving that motivated buyers are still out there. Whether you’re planning a move now or gearing up for 2026 strategies, this season is all about preparation, opportunity, and positioning yourself well for the year ahead.

Ada Market Update

🔎 ADA COUNTY HIGHLIGHTS

• 204 new listings (steady, 0% change)

• 187 homes sold (↑ 4%)

• Average listing price: $659,711 (↑ 2%)

• Average sold price: $623,151 (↑ 4%)

• Inventory: 2.3 months (↑ 2%)

What it means: Buyers are still active and willing to move on well-priced homes — and with inventory tightening slightly, quality listings continue to capture attention quickly. Sellers who price strategically can expect strong interest. Buyers benefit from increased year-end negotiation leverage and less competition than the spring market.

🔎 CANYON COUNTY HIGHLIGHTS

• 66 new listings (↓ 37%)

• 99 homes sold (↑ 16%)

• Average listing price: $568,932 (↑ 11%)

• Average sold price: $477,936 (↑ 4%)

• Inventory: 2.4 months (↑ 3%)

What it means: New listings dropped significantly, but buyer activity jumped — meaning demand is outpacing supply in many pockets of Canyon County. If you’re a seller, this is a window of opportunity. Buyers, on the other hand, should be ready to act quickly on homes priced under $500K, as those continue moving fastest.

✨ End-of-Year Takeaways

Even during the holidays, buyers and sellers across the Treasure Valley remain active. With inventory staying moderate and prices staying steady, December continues to offer real opportunity — whether you’re preparing to list soon, hunting for a home before competition rises, or considering an investment.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in early 2026, now is the perfect time to align your goals, review your market position, and take advantage of quieter winter activity.
