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!

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…

·                     Distressed properties made up 30% of all October sales.

·                     13% of Successful First Time Home Buyers who had a previous deal fall through.

October National Sales

·         Existing Home Sales: Up 10.1% from September  at an annualized rate of 6.10M units, up 23.5% from last year.

·         Inventory: Down 3.7 % to 3.57M units (a seven month supply), down 14.9% from last year. 

·         Median Price: $173,100, down 7.1% from last year.

Regional Sales

·         Midwest: +14.4% from September, and +28.8% from 2008.  Median price=$146,600, down 1.1% from last year. 

·         South: +12.7% from September, and +25.7% from 2008.  Median price=$151,100, down 6.3% from last year.

·         Northeast: +11.6% from September, and +27.7% from 2008.  Median price=$235,400 down 2.6% from last year.

·         West: +1.6% from September, and +12.0% from 2008.  Median Price=$220,200 down 14.7% from last year.

Ten Mile Overpass Meridian Freeway Exit

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

When traveling from your Nampa Home to your Boise job or from your Boise Home to your Canyon County job, there is traffic!  Some times of the day are worse than others and the 55 speed limit is certainly a bother as well….

But, they are fixing the roads!  YEAH!  A nice wider freeway between Nampa and Boise will be great….and a long time needed!  A much easier drive home is on its way!  Read the article on Idaho’s #1 Real Estate Website.

Boise ID Real Estate

Please plan ahead for the following traffic changes:

  

Please plan ahead for Dec. 11, when the Idaho Transportation Department will demolish the Ten Mile Overpass on I-84.

  • I-84 will be closed overnight between the Garrity and Meridian interchanges for the demolition.
  • Work will start at 10 p.m. Dec. 11 and end at 7 a.m. Dec. 12.
  • During this time, flaggers will detour motorists to Franklin Road by way of the Meridian and Garrity interchanges. Click here to see a detour map.
  • Please expect delays or choose an alternate route.

Starting Dec. 11, Ten Mile Road will be closed from Franklin Road to Overland Road while a new interchange is constructed to replace the overpass. The road will re-open in Summer 2011. Click here for a map of alternate routes across I-84.

Please check the Ten Mile Interchangeproject page or go to itd.idaho.gov/Projects/D3 (click on I-84, Ten Mile Interchange) for updates.

 

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.

~And another thing, just one of my pet peeves: 

If your not passing someone on the freeway, please be courteous enough and move to the right lane. In most other states, there are signs reminding us for “slower traffic please keep right”…. That doesn’t seem to be the case in Idaho. If you are hogging the left lane and no one is in the right lane, please move over.  Little things like this and proper merging techniques will assure fewer accidents and a smoother commute between our beautiful cities!

Thanks for letting me vent about traffic on Idaho Real Estate….Oh, by the way, if you or someone you know is in need of buying or selling a home in the Boise Valley, please give them my number and this web address. www.sellidaho.com

Thanks a bunch!
