Treasure Valley Market Update | July 13-19

Buyers Confidence Continues as the Summer Market Stays Active

As we move further into July, the Treasure Valley housing market continues to show encouraging signs of activity.

While many assume the market slows during the middle of summer, this week's numbers tell a different story. Buyers are still writing offers, homes are continuing to sell, and inventory remains relatively balanced across Ada and Canyon County.

Whether you're planning to buy, sell, or simply keeping an eye on the market, here's what stood out this week.

Ada Market Update

📍 Ada County Market Snapshot

Ada County remained active this week, with nearly 300 new listings hitting the market while pending sales and completed transactions both saw healthy increases.

One of the biggest takeaways? Average sold prices climbed above average prices, highlighting that well positioned homes continues to attract motivated buyers.

Ada County Highlights

• 299 new listings (-16%)

• $680,987 average listing price (-11%)

• $686,677 average sold price (+6%)

• 2,170 active listings (-4%)

• 280 pending sales (+18%)

• 253 homes sold (+20%)

• 2.3 months of inventory (-6%)

What It Means

Although fewer new listings entered the market this week, buyer activity remained strong. More homes went under contract, more homes closed, and inventory tightened slightly. That's a good sign that buyers are continuing to move forward with confidence.

Canyon County Market Update

📍 Canyon County Market Snapshot

Canyon County continued to show consistency, with new listings increasing slightly while inventory remained steady.

Although pending sales dipped modestly, completed sales rose more than 20%, demonstrating that homes already under contract continue moving successfully toward closing.

Canyon County Highlights

• 171 new listings (+2%)

• $590,783 average listing price (no change)

• $516,905 average sold price (-1%)

• 1,189 active listings (+1%)

• 118 pending sales (-6%)

• 133 homes sold (+23%)

• 2.4 months of inventory (+2%)

What It Means

Overall, Canyon County continues to offer stability for both buyers and sellers. Inventory remains balanced while homes continue changing hands at a healthy pace.

What Stands Out This Week

When we step back and look beyond individual numbers, one trend becomes clear:

Buyers are still moving

Despite the summer season, we're seeing:

• More homes closing

• Healthy pending sales

• Balances inventory

• Stable pricing across both countries

Rather than seeing the market cool dramatically, we're seeing steady activity from buyers who are ready to make a move before summer comes to an end.

What Buyers Should Take Away

If you've been waiting for the "perfect" time, remember that today's market offers something buyers have wanted for quite a while, options.

Inventory remains healthier than during the ultra-competitive markets of previous years, allowing buyers more opportunities to compare homes, neighborhoods, and price points before making a decision.

While great homes still move quickly, today's market gives buyers a little more breathing room than they experienced just a few years ago.

What Sellers Should Know

This week's increase in sold homes is encouraging news for sellers.

While buyers have more choices than they once did, well-prepared homes continue attracting strong interest.

Professional marketing, strategic pricing, and thoughtful presentation remain some of the biggest advantages when listing a home in today's market.

Looking Ahead

As July continues, we'll be watching several key trends:

• Whether buyer activity remains strong heading into August

• Changes in inventory levels

• Pricing trends across Ada and Canyon County

• Whether pending sales continue converting into closed transactions

The weeks ahead will provide a better picture of how the late-summer market is shaping up across the Treasure Valley.
