As we move into August, both Ada and Canyon Counties show that our real estate market continues to shift toward balance. Prices remain strong, but concessions and longer market times highlight the ongoing adjustment. Here are the Boise Real Estate Trends for July 2025.
Ada County Trends in Selling Prices
Ada County’s market is showing a slow but steady shift toward balance. From January through July, over 5,300 homes sold, with a median list price of $549,990 and a median net sold price of $534,000 once concessions were factored in. That means most sellers are still getting strong offers, but buyers are successfully negotiating for credits or slight reductions.
The average days on market is hovering around 39 days—a reminder that homes are no longer flying off the shelf in a weekend, but they’re still moving at a healthy pace compared to pre-2020 norms.
From the stat sheet, we’re seeing certain submarkets stand out:
-
Boise continues to move faster than anywhere else, especially older homes under the median price point.
-
Eagle’s higher-end homes ($750K+) are still selling quickly, showing that luxury buyers remain active.
-
Kuna and Star are softer, with fewer sales and longer days on market compared to earlier this year.
Ada County Market Overview (Jan–July 2025)
-
5,331 homes sold
-
Median original list price: $549,990
-
Median sold price: $539,990
-
Median net sold price (after concessions): $534,000
-
Average days on market: 39 days
Homes in Ada County are still selling relatively quickly, but most sellers are conceding either on price or with closing cost credits. Buyers remain cautious and selective, and accurately priced homes that show well continue to move fastest.
We’re still seeing that the majority of homes are selling under the original asking price. The takeaway? Sellers need to be strategic. Homes that are staged, photographed well, and priced realistically from day one are still drawing solid offers.
Buyers have a little more breathing room than they did during the frenzy, but competition hasn’t disappeared—especially in the most desirable neighborhoods.
Canyon County Market Overview (Jan–July 2025)
-
2,713 homes sold
-
Median original list price: $421,990
-
Median sold price: $415,000
-
Median net sold price (after concessions): $406,000
-
Average days on market: 46 days
Canyon County remains more affordable, but concessions are more significant here than in Ada. Homes are taking longer to sell, and buyers are negotiating harder. Sellers who price realistically upfront are seeing the strongest results.
Over 80% of the homes sold so far this year sold under the list price, and that includes concessions. With that said, there is more new construction incentives going on in Canyon County compared to Ada County and that could be contributing to the high percentage of homes selling under the original list price.
Trends and Predictions for 2025
While both counties have seen modest year-over-year price increases, market conditions are shifting.
-
Interest rates are expected to remain in the high 6% to low 7% range, keeping affordability tight
-
Home prices are likely to remain flat, or dip slightly, as days on market increase and we enter the Fall/Winter season, where home sales typically slow down.
-
Buyer hesitation continues, especially among those waiting for price or rate drops
Boise remains a desirable place to relocate, but challenges in other states, like homeowners struggling to sell, will impact demand here. The market may feel locally strong, but it’s not immune to national economic pressures, including inflation, tariffs, and uncertainty.
Key Market Takeaways
-
Concessions are common. Net prices show that sellers are typically giving up $6K–$16K between closing costs and price reductions.
-
Ada vs. Canyon. Ada County homes are holding stronger on pricing and moving faster than Canyon, but Canyon continues to attract budget-conscious buyers.
-
Seasonal slowdown. Heading into late summer, both counties typically see fewer buyers. Well-prepared homes are still selling, but overpricing leads to extended market times.
What This Means for You
-
For Buyers: You still have room to negotiate, especially in Canyon County. Keep an eye out for price reductions and builder incentives.
-
For Sellers: Price competitively from the start. Professional staging, photography, and a strong marketing plan are critical to standing out in today’s market.
Buyers should consider asking for seller concessions to buy down their interest rate or cover closing costs to make home buying more affordable.
How to Sell a Home in Boise
This is a market that requires smart pricing and patience. Overpriced homes risk sitting on the market and ultimately selling for less.
Here’s how to stand out:
Effective Marketing – High-quality photos, strategic social media, and targeted exposure are essential
Timing – Avoid listing during slow seasons like the holidays or when competing inventory is high
Strategic Pricing – Homes priced competitively or slightly below the competition often sell faster and closer to the asking price
Hire an Expert – Work with an agent who understands your neighborhood and knows how to market to those relocating to Boise, and in today’s more selective environment.
