Inventory Continues to Build
Inventory increased from 3,647 to 3,806 active listings over the past month, giving buyers the largest selection of homes we've seen this summer.
Whether you're shopping in Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Kuna, Nampa, Caldwell, or anywhere else in the Treasure Valley, increased inventory means more opportunities to find the right home while reducing some of the urgency buyers experienced earlier this year.
For sellers, however, more inventory means more competition. Homes that are professionally marketed and priced strategically continue to stand out.
Buyers Continue Showing Confidence
One of the biggest takeaways this month is that buyer demand has remained remarkably consistent.
Pending sales increased slightly from 371 to 382, while the pending rate held nearly steady, moving from 10.17% to 10.04%.
Rather than signaling a slowdown, these numbers suggest buyers are continuing to purchase homes despite having more inventory available.
Today's buyers are:
- Comparing more homes before making offers
- Negotiating more confidently
- Looking closely at pricing and condition
- Prioritizing homes that are move-in ready
The best-priced homes continue attracting strong activity.
Home Prices Continue Holding Steady
Even with inventory climbing, home values continue demonstrating strength throughout the Treasure Valley.
Ada County
Median list price adjusted slightly from $650,000 → $648,750
Canyon County
Median list price increased from $489,900 → $494,990
Treasure Valley Overall
Median list price remained essentially unchanged at $585,000
This continued stability reflects a market that's finding balance rather than experiencing significant price declines.
Where Are Buyers Shopping?
Buyer activity continues to be strongest in the $400,000–$700,000 price range.
These homes continue attracting:
- First-time buyers
- Move-up buyers
- Families relocating to Idaho
Luxury homes above $1 million continue requiring longer marketing times, while affordable inventory remains competitive throughout much of Ada and Canyon Counties.
Competition Is Becoming Healthier
Cancelled listings improved this month, decreasing from 105 to 97.
This is an encouraging trend and suggests sellers are adapting to current market conditions by pricing homes more appropriately and entering the market with realistic expectations.
Homes that continue to perform the best have four things in common:
✅ Competitive pricing
✅ Professional photography
✅ Strong online marketing
✅ Excellent overall presentation

The sellers doing these things continue achieving excellent results.

These indicators will help shape the Treasure Valley housing market over the coming weeks.
