My, funny how the news media goes crazy when the almighty Case Schiller index takes a drop, but is virtually silent when it rises. Looks like that is the case this past month when the “gold standard” index came out and it shows 19 out of 20 cities it tracks showing an increase.

I can say for certain the real estate market in Boise is good based on what I see at Boise Premier. However, and just like the Case Schiller index, most areas of the Treasure Valley are showing appreciation and a few are mild growth to minimal growth. It’s more important than ever to work with a real estate professional who is experienced in the marketplace and can show you the differences in the many Boise areas.

For example, I had a listing on the Boise Bench last week that I thought I had optimistically priced high. After a 7 party-multiple offer situation I learned Boise bench homes are hotter than ever.  A similar house priced exceptionally well in Eagle has had only a couple of showings – Strange, but that is what we are seeing; micro-areas that are good-better-best in terms of demand.

Nevertheless, interest rates are low and the Treasure Valley is still bargain priced compared to may other parts of the country. Call us today to learn more at 208-450-3000.
