Boise City-Mountain Home-Ontario, ID-OR

There is no doubt that the Boise City-Mountain Home-Ontario, ID-OR combined statistical area (CSA) is one of the hottest housing markets in the country right now. Home prices have been on the rise for several years now, and there is no end in sight. The combination of strong job growth, low interest rates, and a limited supply of homes for sale is creating a perfect storm for sellers.

If you are thinking about selling your home in the near future, now is the time to do it. Prices are only going to go up from here. If you are looking to buy a home in the CSA, be prepared to pay top dollar. It is not uncommon for homes to sell for well above asking price these days.

The good news is that there are still some deals to be had if you know where to look. For example, foreclosures and short sales can often be purchased at a discount. And, although inventory levels are low overall, there are still pockets of the market where buyers have more negotiating power. So, if you are patient and willing to do your homework, you can still find a great deal on a home in this market.
