Ada and Canyon Counties • April 2026
The Treasure Valley housing market showed strong momentum heading into spring, with Ada County posting one of its biggest year-over-year sales jumps in recent memory and Canyon County continuing its steady climb. Here’s a breakdown of what happened in April.
Ada County Market Overview
Ada County had a standout month. 908 single-family homes sold in April — a remarkable 21.4% increase over the same time last year. The median sales price for existing homes came in at $545,000, with homes averaging 43 days on market. Inventory sits at 2.2 months of supply, meaning the market remains competitive for buyers, but there’s more selection than we’ve seen in prior years.
The sales volume jump is particularly noteworthy. That kind of year-over-year increase suggests buyers who were sitting on the sidelines — waiting on rates or watching the market — are starting to move. If you’ve been thinking about selling in Ada County, this is an encouraging signal.
Canyon County Market Overview
Canyon County’s numbers tell a story of stability and affordability. 514 homes sold in April, up 2.6% from a year ago. The median sales price was $429,945, making it one of the most accessible entry points left in the Treasure Valley for buyers priced out of Ada County. Homes averaged 51 days on market, and inventory sits at 2.5 months.
At under $430K median, Canyon County continues to attract first-time buyers and value-focused purchasers who want to stay close to the Boise metro without the Ada County price tag.
What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
Across both counties, inventory remains well below the 6-month threshold that would indicate a buyer’s market — which means sellers still hold meaningful leverage. That said, homes are taking longer to sell than they did during the peak frenzy years, so pricing strategy and presentation matter more than ever.
