Map of Idaho highlighting Ada County

We've seen some very dynamic market behavior over the past couple of decades, from declining markets due to distressed properties, to a massive increase in values due to inventory shortages and mass immigration from out of state. It pays to have an expert available to guide you through these challenging times. 

The residential real estate market was very robust throughout Ada County during 2005 and 2006.  Median and average sales prices leveled off in 2007 and generally dropped in 2008.  In 2009 and 2010, average and median sales prices for single-family residential properties dropped even more, with short sales and foreclosed sales increasing in volume, dragging down median and average sales prices across the board.  
Recovering in 2012, the local market began significant increases in pricing through 2021, then skyrocketed to unprecedented levels in 2022. Pricing relaxed a bit in 2023, and has been generally stable ever since.
