As you can see by the numbers, you are in a much better position to buy this year than last as there is more inventory and the sales price has dropped. The homes in the Boise real estate market are almost too tempting to pass on because of the great prices and great rates.

When you are selling your home in a market like this, make sure that you understand that you have to price it right or you will be in for a long frustrating wait. On the other hand, if you are going to relocate within the Boise real estate market, you stand a very good chance of making up for your selling loss if you know the market numbers. This can be especially good when you are moving up to a more expensive house. The more expensive areas and homes have taken a bigger hit in values in most areas in percentage of drop and dollar value.

Don't be one of the people that make the mistake of waiting until the market is good to buy. A savvy buyer should want to buy the best investments on the market? Then purchase your investments when the supply is high and price is low. It is the old supply vs. demand principle.
