Nampa Realtor says Home inventory is at Critical Low!

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Nampa, Idaho Realtor, Don Wixom with RE/MAX Advantage has just reviewed the most recent sales statistics for Idaho Real Estate in the Treasure Valley.

“The housing market for Canyon and Ada Counties has experienced a boost in recent months. In Nampa alone, April has accounted for a 68% increase in number of homes sold compared to January,”says Wixom.

The communities of Nampa and Caldwell, Idaho currently have less than a 5 month supply of homes available. Ada County (Boise & Meridian) is near the 6 month supply level. In the price category under $100,000, Nampa has only 3.5 months of product available.

These numbers contrast greatly with 2008 inventory, where some price categories had over 2 year’s supply.

“With this low inventory of homes available, we are likely to see price stabilization quickly,”says Broker/Owner Don Wixom of RE/MAX Advantage.

Even though the average sales price has dramatically decreased across the valley, including homes in Boise, homes in Meridian and homes in Caldwell, supply and demand still have an effect on pricing.

“We have seen homes receive multiple offers with bids higher than the asking price,”says Wixom. “Buyers are getting frustrated, but we need to see this rapid decline in values stop!”

Whether this is a seasonal trend or a long-term market correction for homes in Nampa, we may not know until this next winter. For now, you might start thinking of buying Idaho real estate!

Conventional Rehabilitation Loans

                             Make over the house to fit your lifestyle…

“We really loved the house, BUT…”

You just toured a home you liked, in a great location. But it didn’t have new carpet, had unattractive landscaping, or it needed new electrical wiring throughout the house. Perhaps the house’s paint sorely needed updating, or the home just lacked the modern amenities you and your family look for.

 

 

Renovate Idaho Foreclosures Because you can envision the possibilities…

From exterior curb appeal to interior repairs, don’t walk away from what could be the Idaho home of your dreams because of things that can be fixed – with the help of a Rehab Loan.

These new conventional Rehab Loans allow you to purchase the home, and begin repairs or remodeling upon closing!

Idaho Rehab Loans

By taking advantage of a Rehab Loan, you can purchase a home and make the changes you want, at a lower interest rate than if you took out a home improvement loan or borrowed on your credit card later. And the interest will most likely be tax-deductible.

Some if not all closing costs can be financed into the loan amount.

Maximum Loan to Value:

- Owner Occupied – 95%          – Second Home – 95%          – Investor – 80%

Freeway Construction on Nampa Idaho Real Estate

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Construction at the Garrity Interchange

will begin the first week of January, 2010 and finish in June, 2011.  Construction will affect traffic on Garrity Blvd./Idaho Center Blvd. and I-84 in Nampa, Idaho.

The Idaho Transportation Dept. (ITD) invites you to attend an open house meeting regarding the roadway improvements.

The meeting will focus on traffic and noise impacts, planned closures and detour routes.

Garrity Exit

 

Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2010

4 p.m. – 7 p.m.

Hampton Inn

5750 E Franklin Rd.

Nampa, ID

This blog post is for informational purposes only and does not obligate you to buy Idaho Real Estate or travel on Idaho Highways. Feel free to consult your attorney, Nampa RE/MAX Realtor or taxi driver for more information.  Buy Idaho Real Estate!

The I-84, Garrity Interchange to Meridian Interchange project involves designing and constructing a third lane to eastbound and westbound I-84 between the Garrity Boulevard and Meridian Road Interchanges. ITD anticipates that the additional lanes will be constructed within the existing median.

  • Gaining the environmental clearance needed for construction—The National Environmental Policy Act requires ITD to examine all impacts to the environment resulting from the proposed project. ITD must prepare a document that identifies these impacts to the surrounding area before the project is approved.
  • Designing capacity improvements —These early technical studies will identify design options before advancing the project into more detailed final design.
  • Constructing improvements—Construction can begin once environmental clearance and the design are completed.

When completed, this project will reduce congestion, add capacity and improve the safety of I-84 between the Garrity Interchange and the Meridian Interchange.

What Causes my Home’s Value to go Down?

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Wow, that’s a broad question…  The value of a home can depreciate for several reasons, the most common, simply being the market in general.  We have seen a significant amount of depreciation from 2005 until 2009, for instance.

The condition of a property will also allow it to depreciate in value.  If there is deferred maintenance and functional obsolescence, this too, can cause depreciation in value.

If homes surrounding the subject property are deteriorating in condition & are not kept up, this will also affect the value and depreciation of the home.

As far as establishing value, there are several factors that take place; as agents, we typically will procure data from our MLS system for similar homes that are of the same age, size, quality, proximity, etc. that have recently SOLD, to help us establish a historic value base.  We then will also procure data for similar homes that are currently for sale. This will help us analyze the competition and watch what the market trends may be in relation to the SOLD data.  Adjustments are made for features, location, condition, etc. and we determine an approximate market value as of that time.

I hope this helps you.  If you have any particular questions about a specific home or its value, I would love to help.  Thanks again!

Tax Credit Deadline Creates Urgency For Home Buyers

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

“What a difference a deadline makes: existing home sales rocketed higher in October to the fastest pace since February 2007 after buyers flooded back into the markets ahead of the original November 30th deadline for homebuyer tax credits.  

That the credits were extended made no difference for soon-to-be homeowners who needed to pen contracts by September 30th to make it under the wire.  Ironically, it seems that this deadline is far more effective in guiding behavior than the actual tax credit itself. 

While housing inventories continued to liquidate, and the months’ supply of homes on the market retreated to the lowest level since early 2007, we’re seeing initial signs of greater supply coming on line.  Price stability led to an increase in new listings of 363,000 during the month.  Markets are self-correcting, and this rocket ship of existing home sales is going to meet with atmospheric resistance by year end.” -Guy LeBas, Housing Economist at Janney Montgomery Scott.

 

As a summary of NAR’s report…
