What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?
This decline in sales and prices is affecting both Ada and Canyon Counties. The market is currently more favorable for buyers, who have more negotiation power, more options to choose from, and more time to make a decision. However, for sellers, it’s important to keep in mind that their expectations need to be in line with what’s happening in the market. The days of a listing going under contract in a matter of hours for well over the asking price are behind us for now.
Is There Hope for the Future?
While the current market statistics may seem discouraging, there is a glimmer of hope. Newly pending sales data could “indicate,” that demand bottomed out and is beginning to recover. For the last two weeks, we’ve seen new contract signings up year-over-year, and we’ve also heard from members that they’ve experienced increased interest from both buyers and sellers. This uptick in activity, as well as the stabilization of mortgage interest rates, is a positive sign as we gear up for our spring market.

In Conclusion
The housing market in Ada and Canyon Counties is currently favoring buyers, with lower median sales prices and fewer closed sales. However, this could be a good opportunity for buyers to get a great deal on a new home. For sellers, it’s important to set realistic expectations and work with an experienced agent who can help you navigate the current market conditions.
As we look toward the future, there is reason to be optimistic. The recent uptick in new contract signings and increased interest from both buyers and sellers could indicate a recovering market. As we move closer to the spring market, it will be interesting to see how the market continues to evolve and whether we will see further signs of recovery.
