More Homes Than Ever On The Kuna MLS Search!

By Gavin King

Boise is located in Ada County Idaho and includes other cities such as Eagle, Meridian, Star and Kuna. The average home price in July 2006 in Ada County was $279,391. The average home price in July 2007 has increased only 0.5% to $280,819.

Home prices have began to stabilize in Kuna and the majority of the Treasure Valley, so investors and homeowners have began to return to the local market. With the increase in buyers comes an increase in online homes search and the Kuna MLS Search will not disappoint.

The pace of home sales have began to show signs of improvement as well, as Kuna homes starts were up as well as existing home numbers. This improvement in the Kuna homes market illustrates how quickly the housing market can turn around, given that homes in Kuna were selling at near stagnant rates only a year prior.

The number of days on market is a great statistic for analysis due to it's reflecting the pace of the market. When homes are on the market a shorter period of time, it indicates that Kuna homes are lively, but there is also a negative aspect to that as well. If homes sell too quickly and DOM stats drop then you get a "gold rush" mentality that damages markets.

Inventory levels are becoming more manageable as banks have pushed through laws that will allow them to control the release of their REO inventory onto the market. Allowing banks to do this will allow them ultimate control over the market at both ends: supply and demand. Since they decide how many loans they will make and how many REO's are on the market they can more effectively control market prices.

Compare this to the 4.5 month inventory last year at this time, and you can be sure that the sellers market is over.

Despite the limited amount of time many homeowners are facing, given that many are facing traumatic events, especially in the financial realm of things, to sell their homes, many are still accomplishing this task. Short sales are giving way to REO's and banks are simply refusing to accept less than what is owed forcing foreclosure for many homeowners.

The best option if you find yourself in a similar situation is to contact a local home sales professional to get your options lined out right away. Your local Realtor may have a way you can sell your home, save your credit and get on with your life in a way that you will appreciate for year! And with rent rates so reasonable in the Kuna area finding a new place to live isn't difficult at all.
