Home Prices Across Ada County Reach New (but Expected) High Price Point
Compared to one year ago, home prices across Ada County are up 6.6%, hitting a record median sales price of $355,000. This high price point continues to follow the trend that we’ve consistently seen since 2016 with new record highs hitting every August.
On average, after a home goes under contract, it typically takes one to two months for the home to close. This means that many of the homes that closed in August likely went under contract earlier in the summer (at the end June or July). Analyzing market data going back to 2016 shows that homes are typically listed at the highest prices of the year during the summer months (and have some of the fastest market times) which results in the highest sales prices of the year.
