It’s not just the weather that’s heating up. You may have seen recent news stories that say house inventory in the Treasure Valley is at an all-time low and our housing market is hot, hot, hot! It seems that our secret is out. People are moving to Boise, Meridian and Nampa in droves from all over the country.
The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho, (COMPASS) reports that 26,000 moved to the Treasure Valley just last year, increasing the Ada and Canyon County population to 670,000. Over the next 30 years, the Treasure Valley’s population is predicted to exceed one million people, which is roughly one third of Idaho’s current total population. Data shows the majority of those moving into our area are coming from California, Washington, Oregon and Utah. They all need a place to live and that’s impacting the real estate market.
So, what does all of this mean for you? Well, if you are looking to buy or sell your house, you should be organized and ready to act quickly in this highly competitive market. Use the tips we offer on our website and be sure to interview real estate agents to learn about they work. What’s their success rate in your area of interest, how will they market your home, what services do they offer, how well do they communicate with you? These are all important questions. Not all realtors are alike.
For example, Templeton Real Estate Group offers clients exclusive and custom staging services as a complimentary service. Did you know that 95 percent staged homes sell on average in 11 days or less and for 17 percent more? Templeton Real Estate Group believes so strongly in the importance of staging homes to get top dollar, that we employ a full-time, accredited staging team.
The East Boise real estate market is hot right now, and because of that buyers are forced to make decisions quickly. Houses in Harris Ranch, River Heights, River Run, and all over Northeast and Southeast Boise are in high demand. Appealing to those buyers quickly is of the utmost importance, and home staging is one of the best ways to do it.
Your house should not only look great in person, but also in pictures and video online.
