Posted by Jace

September 12, 2008

August showed some very promising signs for the Boise Real Estate market. For two consecutive months, inventory levels have been down year over year. August 2008 had 11% less homes on the market than a year ago. Overall home sales are still down about 22% but these reductions in inventory in July and August are the first in almost two years. These are positive signs that the real estate market may be stabilizing. Most of the inventory decrease was from new construction: August 2007 had 1535 homes for sales while August 2008 had only 1063. New home sales were only slightly down from a year ago, 144 vs. 130.
