Boise Realtor, Cristina Pescaru, shares the June 2021 Market Report for Ada County, Elmore County, Gem County, and Canyon County. The market is changing slowly, but surely. Here are the latest stats from Boise Regional Realtors:

MARKET REPORT
June 2021
ADA COUNTY INVENTORY ROSE IN JUNE AS HOME SELLERS CAPITALIZE ON HIGHER PRICES
The median sales price for homes in Ada County reached $525,000 in June, nearly even with May 2021.
While our region has faced insufficient supply for years — the main driver of home prices — June marked three consecutive months of inventory growth. While still low compared to previous years, there were 729 homes available for sale at the end of the month, up 27.9% from May.
ELMORE COUNTY HOUSING MARKET UPDATE
The rolling 12-month median sales price climbed to $263,500 in Elmore County as of June 2021 — an increase of 28.9% over the same period last year.
The continued price growth may be encouraging homeowners to list, as monthly existing inventory has been climbing for the past three months — a trend we hope to see continue. At the end of June, there were 27 existing homes available for purchase, up from 16 at the end of May, and nine in April. Inventory of new construction has also been improving slowly, and as of June, there were 14 available for purchase.
GEM COUNTY HOUSING MARKET UPDATE
The rolling 12-month median sales price climbed to $341,000 in Gem County as of June 2021 — an increase of 29.7% over the same period last year.
The continued price growth may be encouraging homeowners to list, as compared to 2020. At the end of June, there were 36 existing homes available for purchase and another 14 new construction options on the market — the highest number since December 2019.
The real estate market has taken us all on a wild ride for the last year and a half, and here are some facts and figures helping us to make sense of it. Boise Realtor, Cristina Pescaru, shares the May 2021 Market Report for Ada County, Elmore County, Gem County, and Canyon County.
ADA COUNTY’S MEDIAN SALES PRICE PASSED THE $500,000-MARK IN MAY
The median sales price for homes in Ada County reached a new record of $523,250 in May, up 8.7% compared to April 2021. Crossing this threshold may have been anticipated by some, considering the recent report from realtor.com shared by the Idaho Statesman noting the Boise metro’s price growth was the highest in the country over the past four years.

ELMORE COUNTY HOUSING MARKET UPDATE
Competitive
market conditions continued in May as the average number of days between when a
home was listed for sale and an offer was accepted dropped to a record eight
days – five days faster than in April 2021. Not only did buyers pick up
properties more quickly than ever before, nearly 70% of all home buyers who
closed in May were willing to pay over list price. Learn

GEM COUNTY HOUSING MARKET UPDATE
In May 2021, the median sales price for homes in Gem County reached $334,000, an increase of 1.1% compared to April 2021. Due to the smaller number of transactions that occur in the area, we use a rolling 12-month median sales price to get a better idea of the overall trends. In addition to the insufficient supply of available homes compared to demand, another factor putting upward pressure on prices was that more than half of all buyers paid over list price on homes that closed in May.

Wallethub includes two cities in the Treasure Valley area as the best run cities for 2018. Nampa, Idaho was ranked first and Boise, Idaho was ranked 3rd best.
How do we measure the effectiveness of local leadership? One way is by determining a city’s operating efficiency. In other words, we can learn how well city officials manage and spend public funds by comparing the quality of services residents receive against the city’s total budget.
Using that approach, WalletHub compared the operating efficiency of 150 of the largest U.S. cities to reveal which among them are managed best. We constructed a “Quality of Services” score made up of 35 metrics grouped into six service categories, which we then measured against the city’s per-capita budget. Read on for our findings, expert insight and a full description of our methodology.

In the fast-growing Idaho city, Boise residents grapple with challenges of growth and new arrivals. Read the Curbed article by Patrick Sisson.
“The Boise metro area (population 700,000) has also experienced the downsides of rapid growth. Idaho, now the fastest-growing state in the nation, and Boise, a boomtown by many measures, have felt the strain from the city’s recent success. Downtown is straining under traffic problems, and housing costs have skyrocketed. The state projects the region will add another 100,000 residents by 2025.”
