Home sales in Why time to move up? Because the market for lower priced homes is higher than for higher priced homes in the Boise area. The over $300,000 market is the weakest. Even if you sell your starter or second tier home for less than you may have gotten last year you can definitely get a lot more for $400,000 than last year. So if you are thinking of moving up now is probably a good time and waiting may allow the upper end to start heating up again. Inventory is dropping. We have noticed that a few months ago we could buy under asking price from builders. That has changed. CBH and others have dropped their asking prices and we have noticed they aren't taking the low offers anymore. Builders are building less and new home inventory is starting to drop. So call one of the agents on the tab on the left and have them send you searches for comparable homes sold and for sale similar to yours and another for an area and price range or criteria set that you are interested in. Let us help you analyze the market and see if now is the time for you to move up! The article below was written in the late fall of 2006. The good news is what you read below is changing back to the better for Boise Real Estate Sellers! Lots of buyers are looking again. But they are looking for bargains. You need the right Boise Real Estate information to get top dollar for your home. How to buy OR sell a home or Real Estate in Boise in a BUYER'S Market? How to get a home bargain price in Boise, Eagle, Meridian or Nampa Idaho: The Boise, Meridian Idaho Real Estate Market is sick. But there IS a house doctor in Boise! The tide is turning in the real estate market in Boise and most places in America. In 2005 and even until 6 months ago you put your home on the market in Boise, Eagle, Meridian Idaho or the surrounding area and bang! It was Sold! Now there record numbers of homes for sale. Spooked builders are dropping prices, and taking low offers. But home sellers haven't quite realized what is happening yet! While a couple of months ago Realtors® were still pricing at or above the last highest comparable sold homes, now they are sitting there. Seller's are getting frustrated, impatient with their agents, and bewildered because things have been going SO fast. Real Estate markets change. Over the past few months many amateurs as well as many of the newer professionals who have never seen a down market were gobbling up property! But now you can rent for half what it costs to buy. People like me have sold all of their real estate, are accumulating cash and waiting for the bargains to begin. (This has happened! There are some real bargains!) That is why now IF YOU NEED TO SELL you NEED a seasoned experienced Broker or agent who has been through up and down markets. It takes more than sticking up a sign now to get top dollar for your home. If you need to sell you need an accurate comparative market analysis that is current. You need a lot of traffic! You need to be priced right and ADVERTISED right! You need to negotiate right because buyer's are becoming aware that it is now a BUYER'S market in Boise and many other places. If you are a buyer and need or want to buy, you too need a veteran Real Estate professional. And I don't mean sales person! You need a real estate consultant. Someone who buys and sells a lot of their own personal property. In a hot real estate market like we have had for the past few years you couldn't go wrong. People paid too much for homes, but sold them for more to other people who paid too much! But the greater fool theory doesn't work forever. It does, however, give some the opportunity to make a fortune in Real Estate. Don't spend hundreds of dollars going to Real Estate seminars by real estate gurus. They got a lot of people into this mess in the first place! I retired from my first career (which I loved) at age 46. I was able to because of the Real Estate that I bought and sold. I have lived in Idaho almost all of my life. I started in Boise, lived in the Sun Valley area for 20 years and now I have a home in Boise and one near Idaho City.
