Over the last 12 months, 8 of the homes sold in Silverleaf (66%) were brand new and had never been occupied which leaves the other 33% as resales. The listing prices has obviously decreased significantly year over year to the point that it is at. With 8 active listings in Silverleaf and an average of 1 sale per month over the last 12 months, we have 8 months of supply. But don’t let the 8 months of supply scare you too much as 3 of the active listings are actually contingent short sales awaiting bank approval which really only leaves us with 5 active listings or 5 months of supply. The typical thresh hold for supply and demand determining a buyer or seller’s market is 6 months. Over 6 months of inventory is considered a buyers market and under 6 months of inventory is considered a seller’s market. So if you rule out the contingent short sales which most reasonable people would, Silverleaf would be considered a seller’s market. It’s obvious that values are down which make it difficult to consider anything a seller’s market but the facts are that homes that are priced right are selling in today’s real estate market. Silverleaf in Meridian has also been ahead of the curve regarding distressed properties. If you are looking to sell your home in Silverleaf feel free to contact me today.

Lochsa Falls neighborhood in Meridian Idaho is an absolutely beautiful community! With water features at nearly every entrance and a seemingly endless amount of common area, basketball courts, bike and walking paths and even a covered eating area near the play ground Lochsa Falls has something for everyone. Lochsa Falls is also located within walking distance of Meridian’s coveted Hero’s Park ran by PAL. As far as the statistics go, Lochsa Falls has been overwhelmingly distressed listings and sales for the past 12 months. Lochsa Falls current inventory consists of more than 50% short sales which has played a pivotal role in the pricing for the area. The good news is that the inventory levels have shifted to below 6 months (5 months of supply to be precise) which typically reflects a seller’s market as far as supply and demand is concerned. Look for the distressed properties to continue, but to clear out fast as this is still a very desirable community to live in Meridian, ID.

NorthWest Meridian is a unique market in that scale has definitely tipped from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market.

Meridian Idaho’s Paramount neighborhood is looking very healthy. With only 8 foreclosures sold in the past 12 months and 0 foreclosures actively listed, it would seem that short sales are a larger market in Paramount. It’s also good to see that in the last 12 months sales, the average sold price is HIGHER then the average list price. Which means that homes are selling at or above their list price in paramount. This could be due to bidding wars or adding in extras such as closing costs or amenities. If you were considering selling your home in Paramount, now would be a great time as there are only 4.2 months worth of market supply.
