Enough about houses aren't selling already. The problem is we have too many homes on the market and too many people servicing the industry, the reality is that there were still 145 closings reported in the Intermountain MLS in September.

As the stock market tanks today, I am glad I own more real estate than stocks these days!

Class space sells out as Realtors rush to get this timely designation from the National Association of Realtors. Now that I have my designation, I see why their slogan is "EcoBroker is Education that Means Business and Makes a Difference"

I was shocked watching how quickly the fire spread this evening in SE Boise and was even more so when I realized I was watching a friends home burn on live TV! Please do what you can to help these innocent victims reclaim their losses.

I interviewed an agent yesterday that is thinking of moving his license to my company. He was hesitant because he is curious about the state of the industry. Here is my reply to him.

It is really interesting listing to different people try to justify their price of their home these days. I just did a quick test for my own house and came up with a bunch of different answers all based on "statistical analysis".
My home is 2,980 sq. ft. in Boise with four bedrooms and three full baths on an 8,000 sq. ft. lot.
I pulled up all the homes that homes have sold so far in 2008 in our MLS in Boise which range from 2,800 sq. ft. to 3,200 sq. ft. I loved the Average List Price of $364,335. I would donate thousands to charity if I could sell my house for that! Everyone says the market is horrible, yet 99 homes have successfully completed this year in this range alone! I am feeling overconfident right now.
Wait, the median price (where as many homes selling above that price as there are below) is down to $339,900. I consider myself a "realist" so if my house was average, I would still be extremely content to sell for $339,900!

People are always asking me what the market is doing in real estate and I keep saying "It Depends". Anyone that gives a quick answer to such a broad question should be dismissed immediately.
The old proverb of "location, location, location" is still true. You can look at a snapshot of just the market in Eagle and draw a very different conclusion than if you looked in Kuna. Even the nine different MLS areas that make up "Boise" will provide drastically different answers. But since my blog is based on "Ada County" the following numbers are averages for the entire county. I would be glad to research specifics if you need them.
The quick good news is that every single market segment (homes, condos, mobile homes, etc.,) showed improvements over the first quarter! For example, we sold 388 more single family homes in the second quarter than in the first. Although these numbers are still below 2nd quarter 2007 numbers, it is nice to see the ...
