--------------------
For the past four years homes across Ada County have consistently increased in value due largely to a persistent low supply of lower-priced existing homes and strong demand. Basically demand has been (and continues) to be outpacing the supply of homes listed for sale. A greater share of newly constructed homes being sold (at overall higher prices) and relatively low mortgage rates (which works to effectively increase a buyers' purchasing power) have also contributed to this trend.
Exactly one year ago (January 2019) was the first time since October 2014 that the year-over-year number of existing homes for sale in Ada County increased, breaking the 51-month consecutive streak of year-over-year declines. But despite existing inventory increasing slightly throughout the year, it was not enough to meet demand - thus home prices continued to climb.
In order for the market to regain balance, the market needs more inventory (of both existing and new construction) at all price points, but especially those below the $300k mark. If you've been considering a move, this would be a great time to connect with us to discuss the current value of your home and to see what's newly available on the market (again, the new construction market is booming).
