What’s The Tea with 4D? 🍵

The tea is all about February’s Market in the Treasure Valley! The Median sales price was up in Ada and Canyon counties but decreased by 7.4% in Gem County. New construction median prices in Ada County increased by $25,000 from prices in January.

Sales are still slower than 2023 in all counties, but pending sales were up as we saw over 1,000 signed contracts since May 2023.

Inventory of homes is up in both Ada and Canyon counties, with inventory seeing a decrease in Gem County. Coupled with some gains in the median home pricing, this does suggest that the Spring market is looking to heat up!

Days on market (DOM) for homes ranged from 40 days in Ada County, 49 days in Canyon County, and 92 days in Gem County. All of these numbers are a significant decrease from the numbers we saw at the start of 2024.

You may ask, why does all of this matter if we’re already in April? Well, as I've continued to track the daily rates throughout March, I've observed slight fluctuations, typically ranging from 6.65% to 6.88%. In conclusion, the best way to know how the rate will impact your purchasing power is to connect with a local lender.

Please select a date and time that works best for your schedule. After booking, I'll reach out to confirm the location. Looking forward to chatting with you soon! 😊
