Buyer Demand and New Construction Pricing Drive the Boise Region’s Home Prices to Record Highs

Ada County’s median sales price in June 2017 reached $273,950, an increase of 8.7% over June 2016. The median sales price in Canyon County reached $184,000 last month, an increase of 12.4% compared to last year. Both were record highs.

Three things continue to drive prices up in the Boise Region: consumer demand, lack of inventory, and higher-priced new construction — not market speculation as was common a decade ago.

To measure each of these market drivers, we took a deeper look at activity for pending sales, months supply of inventory, and the median sales price for new construction.

Pending Sales: In June 2017, there were 1,854 pending sales in Ada County, up 7.5% from 

the previous year. In Canyon County, there were 750 pending sales, up 10.8% from the previous year. In both counties, the year-over-year increase in pending sales was primarily due to new construction as buyers are finding it harder to find existing inventory, especially in the lower price points.

Months Supply of Inventory: In June 2017, the months supply of inventory for existing/resale and new construction combined was at 1.7 months in Ada County, down 15.0% from June 2016. Canyon County was at 1.8 months of inventory in June 2017, down 18.2% from the previous year.

Median Sales Price: In June 2017, the median sales price for new homes in Ada County was $345,450, up 14.3% over June 2016. Further, 20.3% more new homes sold in June 2017 than June 2016. In Canyon County, the median sales price for new homes was $239,495, up 6.8% compared to last year, and 33.3% more new homes sold year-over-year.

The 5 Greatest Benefits of Homeownership

Recently, Freddie Mac reported on the benefits of homeownership. According to their report, here are the five benefits that “should be at the top of everyone’s list.”

1. Homeownership can help you build equity over time.
2. Your monthly payments will remain stable.
3. You may have some tax benefits.
4. You can take pride in ownership.
5. Homeownership improves your community.

Let's expand on these 5 points a little.

Homeownership can help you build equity over time.

Every three years, the Federal Reserve conducts a Survey of Consumer Finances in which they collect data across all economic and social groups. The latest survey, reports that a homeowner’s net worth is 36 times greater than that of a renter. 

Your monthly payments will remain stable.

When you purchase a home with a fixed rate mortgage, the majority of the payment (principle and interest) remain constant. On the other hand, rents continue to skyrocket.

You may have some tax benefits.

There are several tax advantages to homeownership.

Here are four items:

• Mortgage Interest Deduction
• Property Tax Deduction
• Imputed Rent
• Profits from Home Sale

You can take pride in ownership.

Most surveys show that a major factor in purchasing a home is the freedom you have to design the home the way you want. From paint colors to yard accessories, you don’t need a landlord’s permission to make the house feel like a home.

Homeownership improves your community.

The National Association of Realtors recently released a study titled "Social Benefits of Homeownership and Stable Housing." The study explained:

“Homeownership does create social capital and provide residents with a platform from which to connect and interact with neighbors…Owning a home means owning part of a neighborhood, and a homeowner’s feelings of commitment to the home can arouse feelings of commitment to the neighborhood, which, in turn, can produce interactions with neighbors.”
