Ada and Canyon County Active Listings as of September 19th, 2011
Inventory for Ada and Canyon County real estate is down 4% overall from July to August. This is largely due to the high sales volume in the Boise area and the lack of replenishing inventory. This is also the time of year that most equity sellers will decide to pull their home off the market and wait until Spring. I’m not positive about why exactly they do this, but keep that in mind if you are considering selling your Boise area home. There will be fewer homes to choose from which is always a good thing if you are listing your property. You can see that many of the non-distressed sales are no longer on the market at this time. We lost 472 non-distressed listings from August to September. You might take note that 470 equity closings took place in August which will account for a large part of the drop in inventory. We saw an increase of 22% in bank owned, HUD homes and REO’s. This is the first month we have seen an increase in bank owned inventory in Ada and Canyon county for about 5 months.
3,807 – Active Listings - down 160 (-4%) from August 2011
1,960 – Non-Distressed - down 472 (-19.4%) from August 2011
1,185 – Short Sales - down 54 (-4.4%) from August 2011
361 – Bank Owned, Auction, HUD Home or REO - up 65 (22%) from August 2011
Ada & Canyon County August 2011 Closed and Pending Sales
Closings were up 4.6% from July to August. It is always a good sign to see closings continuing to increase. This is a typical trend that you will see for the month of August as many people are trying to close prior to the school year starting.
987 Closings – up 43 (4.6%) from July 2011
470 Non-Distressed – up 29 (6.6%) from July 2011
336 Bank Owned, Auction, HUD Home or REO - down 7 (-2.1%) from July 2011
181 Short Sales – up 21 (-13.1%) from July 2011
581 Pending - up 68 (13.3%) from July 2011
248 Non-Distressed – up 8 (3.3%) from July 2011
211 Bank Owned, Auction, HUD Home or REO - up 15 (7.7%) from July 2011
124 Short Sales - up 47 (61%) from July 2011
Short Sales - One thing to note about June pending’s is that short sales are up more than 61% from July to August. There is an updated real estate form that allows participating Realtor members to ask for the seller to make the property pending status as opposed to contingent short sale status. Both status are typically subject to bank approval of the short sale, however the pending status requires the seller to no longer continue to market the property. If you are thinking of short selling your Boise home, be sure to ask your Realtor about this new addition to the short sale addendum.
