📊 January 2026 Market Snapshot – Ada & Canyon County

The Treasure Valley real estate market is continuing to shift as we move into 2026.

🏡 Ada County• Median Price: $535,990 (-0.6% YoY)• Homes Sold: 531 (+6.8% YoY)• Days on Market: 55 (+3.8% YoY)• Inventory: 1,567 homes (+23.3% YoY)

🏡 Canyon County• Median Price: $420,000 (-1.2% YoY)• Homes Sold: 271 (+1.1% YoY)• Days on Market: 66 (+6.5% YoY)• Inventory: 958 homes (+5.2% YoY)

👉 Inventory is rising and homes are taking slightly longer to sell, giving buyers more options while prices remain relatively stable.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year, strategy matters more than ever. Let’s talk about what these numbers mean for you.

✅ A lot of sellers plan to wait until spring because it feels like the safer option.

What often gets overlooked is that waiting is still a decision — one that comes with tradeoffs. More listings 🏡 usually mean more competition, more comparisons, and less control over how buyers form first impressions.

Spring can be a great time to sell. But it doesn’t guarantee better results on its own. Preparation, pricing, and positioning tend to matter more than the calendar.

The better question isn’t “When should I list?”

It’s “What conditions will help my home stand out?”

If selling is on your radar this year, that’s a question worth thinking through early.

When people think about what makes a home valuable, they picture upgrades and finishes — but those are just the surface.

Here are a few invisible factors that quietly shape value:

Emotional flow.

Homes that “feel good” when you walk through — natural light, intuitive layout, sense of calm — photograph better and sell faster.

Micro-location.

It’s not just the neighborhood; it’s the exact block. A quiet corner street can add tens of thousands in perceived value compared to one near a busy road.

Future infrastructure.

New transit lines, parks, or commercial zoning nearby can redefine value overnight — even before they’re built.

Community identity.

Neighborhoods with a strong sense of story — local markets, schools, walkable energy — build emotional equity faster than surrounding areas.

Timing and psychology.

When supply dips or sentiment shifts, even the same home can see huge differences in buyer perception.

A home’s value goes deeper than the upgrades you can see.

It’s shaped by emotion, location, and timing — all the things that don’t show up on a spreadsheet but make a real difference in how a home feels, and what it’s worth.

If you’re planning a move, look beyond the obvious. The right home isn’t just measured in square footage — it’s measured in how it fits your life. ️

✨ Curious how the Boise-area market is doing?
Here’s your October snapshot:

🏡 Ada County: Prices are holding steady at $549,900, with more homes on the market and a bit more time before they sell.

🌄 Canyon County: Prices are up 2.4%, with homes moving a little faster even as inventory rises.

💬 More choices, stable prices, and steady demand — a balanced market heading into winter!

Mortgage rates just dropped to their lowest point in nearly three years — around 6.13% for a 30-year loan.

That might not sound dramatic, but it can make a real difference in what buyers can afford. Lower rates mean lower monthly payments and more flexibility when shopping for a home.

Experts say this dip may not last long — rates often rise again after a drop. So if you’ve been waiting for a better time to buy, this could be your window.

The key isn’t timing the market perfectly — it’s taking advantage of opportunities when they show up.

If you want to see what today’s rate could mean for your buying power, let’s run the numbers together.

🏡 Is fall the right time to list your home? 🍂

A lot of sellers hold out for spring, thinking that’s the only “real” selling season. But fall has some major advantages you don’t want to overlook:

Fewer homes on the market = less competition.

Buyers right now are typically serious and motivated.

Homes feel warm and inviting with cozy fall staging and natural curb appeal.

So before you wait until 2026, it might be worth asking: could this season be your best opportunity?

DM me if you’d like to see what your home could sell for in today’s market.

Thinking about buying a home? Here’s why May might just be your secret weapon.

Inventory is climbing, but competition hasn’t hit its summer peak yet. Prices tend to jump in June and July when more buyers flood the market. Locking in now could save you from moving delays and rate increases later.

Plus, if interest rates shift again this summer, a pre-approved loan now could mean thousands saved in the long run.

This is the sweet spot—before the chaos, with the upper hand still in reach.

Want to talk strategy? Let’s make a game plan that gets you ahead of the curve.

Whether you’re buying your first home or your 11th, there’s one thing we all think about when it comes time to negotiate the deal: finessing that pesky purchase price down as much as possible. So what all can you negotiate? Let's get into it:

➡️ Repairs. If your inspection reveals any issues, you can ask the sellers to make repairs as a condition of the sale. Just remember: It’s not a given that the sellers will be willing to take on all repairs.

➡️ Time to close. If your schedule is flexible and you know that the seller’s is not, you can make your offer more attractive to sellers by being upfront about your flexibility.

➡️ Closing costs. Instead of playing hardball on the list price of the home, consider asking the seller for help covering closing costs. You can also offer to offset the seller’s credit toward closing by offering a higher price on the home.

➡️ Decor. If you are buying your dream house, and it’s already decked out to your liking, it’s totally fair to ask about decor, furniture, light fixtures, appliances, or other pieces you love.

➡️ Home cleaning. A new-to-you home isn’t necessarily a clean home. One way to conquer the yuck factor: Ask the sellers to pay for a deep clean before you move in.

➡️ Home warranty. A home warranty can provide peace of mind to home buyers. It covers the cost to repair or replace major appliances if they break down in your new home, and it can also cover fixes to HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. In some cases, it makes sense to negotiate for the seller to cover a home warranty as part of the buying process.
