Ada and Canyon Counties • March 2026
The March 2026 resale housing data is in, and we’re seeing continued momentum as we head into the heart of the spring market. Activity picked up in both Ada and Canyon counties, while inventory remains tight and buyers and sellers are adjusting to a more measured pace.
Below is a breakdown of what’s happening across the Treasure Valley—and what it means for buyers and sellers right now.
Ada County Market Overview
Strong Increase in Homes Sold
Ada County closed 810 single-family resale homes in March, marking a 19.1% increase year-over-year. This jump shows a renewed surge in buyer activity as more people enter the market heading into spring.
Median Prices Dip Slightly
The median sales price came in at $540,000, which is down 4.3% from last year. While prices have softened compared to last spring’s peak, values remain historically strong and are still supported by limited inventory.
Homes Moving, but at a Slower Pace
Homes in Ada County spent an average of 55 days on market, an increase of 19.6% year-over-year. Buyers are taking more time to make decisions, and sellers are having more realistic conversations around pricing and preparation.
Inventory Remains Tight
Inventory sits at 2.0 months, well below the 4–6 months typically considered a balanced market. This ongoing supply constraint continues to support home values, especially for well-priced and well-presented listings.
Canyon County Market Overview
Sales Activity Picks Up
Canyon County recorded 452 home sales in March, a 14.7% increase year-over-year. This signals growing demand as buyers continue looking west for more attainable price points.
Prices Continue to Rise
The median sales price increased to $432,995, up 1.9% from last year. While growth is more modest than in recent years, prices are still trending upward, supported by steady demand.
Days on Market Climbing
Homes spent an average of 63 days on market, a 21.2% increase year-over-year. This reflects a market that’s active but no longer rushed, giving buyers more breathing room.
Inventory Slightly Higher Than Ada
Canyon County inventory stands at 2.4 months—still low, but offering slightly more options compared to Ada County.
What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
For Sellers
• Homes are selling, but pricing correctly is more important than ever
• Expect a longer timeline than in past spring markets
• Limited inventory continues to work in your favor, especially if your home is move-in ready
For Buyers
• More choices and more time than in recent years
• Price growth is moderating, but values remain stable
• Well-priced homes are still attracting strong interest
The Big Picture
The Treasure Valley housing market remains active, stable, and competitive, but with better balance than we’ve seen in several years. Rising sales volume paired with slower pace and steady inventory suggests a healthier, more sustainable market as we move deeper into spring 2026.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year, understanding these local trends—and how they apply to your specific situation—can make all the difference.
