The following information is specific to Ada County which involves the cities of Boise, Eagle, Meridian, and Kuna.
1. Sales are down 10% from June 2011, and 51% UP from July 2010.
In 2010, a tax credit was driving the real estate market by offering huge incentives for first time AND existing homeowners. That tax credit ended in June 2010. In comparision to the July months during the last 3 years, July 2011 sales were much higher. This is great news for the Boise real estate market.
2. Short Sales were 16% of the total closed sales for July 2011.
3. The median resale home price for Ada County is near $143,000.
4. Inventory is down 3% from June 2011 and 33% lower than July 2010.

Wow! I came across my first 3.85% 30-Year Fixed Interest Rate Loan on a home for a Client today. That's the lowest rate I have ever seen for a new purchase.

WASHINGTON — Fixed mortgage rates fell to at or near record lows. That's good news for the few who can afford to buy a home or are able to refinance.
Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for the 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 4.32 percent this week from 4.39 percent. The 30-year loan hit a record low of 4.17 percent in mid-November.
The average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, fell to a record low of 3.50 percent, from last week's record rate of 3.54 percent.
Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. A weakening U.S. economy has led many investors to shift money from stocks to bonds, which are seen as safer bets. That has pushed Treasury yields to historic lows.
In theory, low mortgage rates should provide a boost to the housing market. But rates have been below 5 percent for nearly two years and haven't helped home sales much. Rates on the 30-year fixed loan were near 6.5 percent five years ago and higher than 8 percent in 2000.
