As we wrap up November and head toward the end of the year, the Treasure Valley is showing a seasonal shift — but one that offers advantages for both buyers and sellers.

🔥 What This Means for Buyers

Even though we're heading into the holiday season, the market continues to offer compelling opportunities:

1. Less Competition

Many buyers press pause until January — giving active buyers more negotiation room and calmer showings.


2. Motivated Sellers

With fewer pending sales this week, some sellers are more open to price conversations and credits.


3. Homes Show Their TRUE Condition in Winter

Cold, frosty weather reveals:

  • drafty windows

  • insulation issues

  • roof performance

  • furnace efficiency…all things buyers want to see before committing.


4. Interest Rate Improvements Are Helping Buyers Re-Enter

With rates beginning to stabilize, more families are preparing to jump back in early 2025. Getting ahead now gives buyers a competitive edge.



🔥 What This Means for Sellers


Even with fewer sales this week, sellers still hold strong advantages:

1. Prices Are Holding Strong (Especially in Ada County)

Average sold prices jumped 11% week-over-week, showing buyers are still willing to pay for well-presented homes.


2. Serious Buyers Only

Winter shoppers are not browsing — they’re relocating, upsizing, downsizing, or needing to buy now. This results in smoother, more motivated transactions.


3. Inventory Is Still Tight

With only 2.4–2.5 months of inventory, we remain in a seller-leaning market. Well-priced homes continue to move.


4. Early Prep Means Strong Spring Sales

Many sellers who begin planning in December:

  • complete easy upgrades

  • finish pre-listing repairs

  • gather documents

  • schedule photography for early spring…resulting in higher offers and faster closings.

If you’re thinking of selling in February–April, now is the ideal time to start.


The end of the year may feel like a slow time for real estate — but the data shows otherwise. With stable pricing, motivated parties, and fewer competing listings, both buyers and sellers can benefit from making a move before the new year.


Whether you want help navigating the numbers, prepping for a spring listing, or getting pre-approved before January demand spikes, House of Palmer is here to guide you every step of the way.
