• Canyon County median price: $489,000 → $499,880 (⬆️ ~2.2%)

This steady price growth reflects ongoing demand, especially as inventory remains limited compared to last year.

Buyer Activity Is Increasing in 2026

One of the biggest shifts in this week’s data is the increase in buyer activity.

The pending rate jumped from 10.86% to 14.04%, showing that more buyers are not just browsing, they’re writing offers and going under contract.

For anyone watching the Idaho housing market trends, this is a strong indicator that confidence is returning and momentum is building.

Fewer Listings Are Falling Out of Contract

Another positive sign in the Treasure Valley housing market is the slight decrease in cancelled listings.

With cancellations dropping from 103 to 98, it suggests:
• Better pricing strategies
• Stronger buyer commitment
• Improved alignment between buyers and sellers

This is a healthy sign of a more stable and efficient market.

What This Means for Buyers in Boise & Surrounding Areas

If you’re looking to buy a home in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, or the greater Treasure Valley, the market is becoming more competitive.

With fewer homes available and more buyers entering the market, it’s important to:
• Be pre-approved
• Act quickly when the right home hits
• Work with an agent who understands local market trends

There are still opportunities, but strategy matters more than ever.

What This Means for Sellers in Ada & Canyon County

For sellers, this is a strong market.

Homes are selling, demand is increasing, and prices are rising. However, success still comes down to the fundamentals:
• Pricing your home correctly from the start
• Presenting your home well
• Leveraging strong marketing to stand out

Even in a competitive market, the best-prepared homes see the strongest results.
