July was a month for record setting in the Boise housing market! 

  • The median sales price reached $390,000. (Up 4 % from June 2020 and 11.7% from June of last year)

  • Inventory dropped to only 743 available homes. (Down 31.5% from last month and 56.8% from last year)

  • The number of closed sales hit 1,402. (Up 22.2% from last month and 22.0% from last year)

  • The number of pending sales was 2,046. (This was about the same as last month but up 16.1% from last year)

  • And, months supply of inventory dropped to 0.6 months.(Down 66.7 % from last month and 33.3% from last year)

We are also seeing a rather large shift in the number of homes sold in the higher price ranges.One year ago, 36.8% of homes sold for prices below $300,000.Today, only 17.5% have sold in that range. The number of homes sold at prices above $600,000 has jumped 54.7%!

This decrease in the number of homes selling in the lower price ranges can be discouraging to first time home buyers, who may feel the market is getting too expensive to enter.
