Twin Falls Housing Market Trends Every Buyer & Seller Should Know

Buying, Market Update, Relocating, Selling / August 19, 2025

As summer winds down, the Twin Falls housing market trends are sending us some clear signals about where things are headed. Whether you’re a homeowner curious about your equity or a buyer wondering if now is the time to make a move, the numbers tell an interesting story. Let’s break down what’s happening with sales, prices, and inventory here in Twin Falls.

What You Need to Know About the Twin Falls County Market:

Number of Residential Sales
Months of Inventory (MOI)
New Listings
Average Sales Price
Days on Market

Number of Residential Sales

In July, 137 single-family homes sold in Twin Falls County, which is about a 9% decrease from last year. That may sound like a big drop, but in reality, sales are still steady and on pace with longer-term trends.

Existing homes made up the majority, with 109 sales.
New construction homes also played a role, with 28 closings.

For sellers, this means your home may not have the same flood of offers as the peak market a few years ago, but motivated buyers are still out there and ready to purchase.

Steal This!

Months of Inventory (MOI)

Here’s some good news for buyers: inventory is up. There were 454 homes available in July, compared to 378 last summer. Pending sales also climbed slightly, which shows that buyers are still active even as more listings hit the market.

More inventory creates balance: buyers don’t have to make split-second decisions, and sellers should focus on making their home stand out with strong presentation and competitive pricing.

New Listings

We also saw an increase in new construction listings—108 this July compared to 86 last year. At the same time, existing homes filled out the market with 346 total listings.

This gives buyers a wider variety: do you want the charm of an established home or the shine of a brand-new build? For sellers, it means your home is competing against both. Professional photos, thoughtful staging, and realistic pricing are more important than ever.

Average Sales Price

The average sales price rose to $436,432, nearly a 5% jump from last year. That’s largely thanks to higher-end properties and new construction driving values upward.

But here’s the interesting part: the median price dipped slightly to $369,900 (down from $374,900 last July). In simple terms, the market is seeing both affordable and higher-end homes sell, which balances things out.

Existing homes are holding steady around $355,000.
New builds nudged higher at $414,995.

This mix is keeping Twin Falls home values attractive to a wide range of buyers while still offering strong returns for sellers.

Days on Market

On average, homes spent 60 days on the market, which is a week quicker than last summer.

Existing homes are moving fastest at around 58 days.
New construction is taking longer, averaging 68 days.

This tells us that well-prepared resale homes, priced right and marketed effectively, are catching buyers’ attention more quickly.

Wrapping It All Up

The July 2025 Twin Falls housing market feels balanced. There are more homes available, buyers still active, and prices that show steady growth without being out of reach. If you’re a seller, positioning your home correctly is the key to getting it sold in a reasonable time. If you’re a buyer, you now have more room to explore your options without as much pressure.

At the end of the day, Twin Falls home values remain strong, and both buyers and sellers have opportunities in this market.

If you’d like to know exactly what this means for your situation, whether that’s selling your home or buying your next one, let’s connect. I’m here to guide you every step of the way!

June 2025 Twin Falls Home Sales: Prices, Inventory & Market Trends Explained

Uncategorized / July 23, 2025

As summer gets underway, the weather is heating up, and so are June 2025 Twin Falls home sales. With more listings, rising prices, and a noticeable shift in buyer activity, June’s data gives us plenty to unpack. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply curious, here’s a snapshot of where things stand in the Magic Valley real estate market.

What You Need to Know About the Twin Falls County Market:

Number of Residential Sales
Months of Inventory (MOI)
New Listings
Average Sales Price
Days on Market

Number of Residential Sales

According to local data, 122 homes were sold in June 2025 across Twin Falls County, marking a 6.1% increase compared to June 2024. The breakdown includes:

104 existing home sales (up nearly 12% year-over-year)
18 newly constructed homes sold (down slightly from last year)

This surge in existing home activity helped drive the growth in June 2025 Twin Falls home sales, while new builds saw a dip—possibly due to higher price tags or longer timelines to completion.

Steal This!

Months of Inventory (MOI)

Twin Falls saw 429 active residential listings in June and 122 closings, putting months of inventory at around 3.5.

This figure is an important part of understanding the market. With more listings than last year (339), buyers are enjoying more options—but sellers still benefit from relatively low competition. This puts us in what many would call a mild seller’s market moving toward balance.

New Listings

Sellers and builders both brought more inventory to market this month:

115 new construction homes listed (vs. 87 in June 2024)
314 existing homes listed (up from 252 last year)

This increased supply supports a growing market and may be one reason why home sales in Twin Falls this June performed well. Buyers have more to browse, but competition remains especially strong in desirable price ranges and locations.

Average Sales Price

Prices climbed notably across the board in June:

Overall average sales price: $444,185 (up 11.1%)
Existing home average: $440,572 (up 11.9%)
New construction average: $465,058 (up 9.5%)

Interestingly, the average price for resale homes nearly matched that of new builds. This suggests high demand for well-maintained homes and a maturing resale market. The median sales price also jumped to $396,250—a 13.2% year-over-year increase, reflecting rising values throughout the market.

Days on Market

How fast are homes selling in Twin Falls? The data tells us:

52 days on average for existing homes
92 days on average for new construction
58 days overall

These numbers highlight a key theme in local home sales: resale homes are selling quickly, especially when priced competitively. New builds are still in demand, but they typically take longer due to construction schedules and price sensitivity.

What June’s Market Means for You

For Buyers: With more homes on the market, you have options—but prices are trending upward, so be prepared to act decisively when you find the right fit.
For Sellers: Inventory is climbing, but demand remains strong. You still have an opportunity to sell, especially if your home is turnkey and properly priced.
For Investors: Appreciation is accelerating, and resale properties are performing well. June’s data suggests ongoing opportunity in the mid- to upper-range markets.

If you’re curious how your home compares to recent home sales, or want help finding the right opportunity, reach out today. Let’s navigate this market together.

Twin Falls Real Estate Market Update – May 2025: Prices, Sales & Inventory Trends

Buying, Market Update, Relocating, Selling, Twin Falls / June 18, 2025

May is typically one of the busiest months for real estate in the Magic Valley, and this year is no exception, though the numbers reveal some interesting shifts. Whether you’re considering buying, selling, or simply keeping up with the market, here’s a breakdown of what’s happening in Twin Falls real estate as of May 2025.

Discover how home prices, inventory, and buyer demand are shifting in Twin Falls this spring—and what it means for buyers and sellers in May 2025:

Number of Residential Sales
Months of Inventory (MOI)
New Listings
Average Sales Price
Days on Market

Number of Residential Sales

In May 2025, 108 single-family homes were sold across Twin Falls County- a 10% drop compared to the 120 homes sold in May 2024.

Here’s the breakdown:

81 existing homes sold (↓16.5% from last year)
27 new construction homes sold (↑17.4% from last year)

Although overall sales dipped, the increase in new construction purchases signals growing buyer interest in move-in-ready homes, new construction incentives, and modern features. Meanwhile, the slowdown in existing home sales could be tied to rising prices or buyer hesitancy around interest rates.

Steal This!

Months of Inventory (MOI)

The months of inventory- a key indicator of market balance- stood at 3.9 months in May. This nudges Twin Falls closer to a balanced market, where neither buyers nor sellers hold a distinct advantage.

Inventory is up 31% from May 2024, which had just 323 listings. With more homes available, buyers have more choices, and sellers may need to be more competitive on pricing and presentation.

New Listings

Both builders and sellers are stepping up:

103 newly constructed homes were currently active in May (up from 85 last year)
321 existing homes on the market, up from 238 a year ago

This increased listing activity is a strong signal of confidence. Sellers are clearly taking advantage of spring demand, and builders are working to meet steady interest in new homes- especially in popular price ranges around $375K–$450K.

Average Sales Price

Home values across Twin Falls County continue to show steady strength, though we’re seeing some divergence between existing and newly built homes.

Overall average price: $413,288 (↑3.38% year-over-year)
Existing home average: $403,764 (↑5.13%)
New construction average: $450,485 (↓2.75%)

What does this mean? The resale market is gaining momentum, with existing homes climbing in value faster than the overall average. That’s great news for homeowners thinking about selling, especially if their property is well-maintained and competitively priced.

On the flip side, the slight drop in the average price of new construction may reflect builders adjusting pricing to remain competitive or offering buyer incentives to speed up sales. It’s also possible that a larger share of new homes sold in May were in more affordable communities or smaller square footage ranges.

Either way, the Twin Falls market continues to offer a healthy mix of options across different price points—good news for buyers and sellers alike.

Days on Market

Homes are selling faster across the board:

Existing homes averaged just 55 days on market (down from 66 days last May)
New construction averaged 77 days (down from 97 days)
Overall average: 61 days

This tells us that while the market has cooled from the frenzy of past years, well-priced homes are still moving efficiently. New builds take longer to close due to construction timelines, but that gap is narrowing.

What This Means for You:

Buyers: You now have more options to choose from—and while prices are up, competition is calmer. If you’re well-prepared and pre-approved, this could be your window.
Sellers: Homes are selling and prices are climbing, but buyers are taking their time. Stand out by pricing strategically and making a strong first impression.
Investors: Rising average sale prices and growing demand for move-in-ready homes suggest strong ROI potential—especially for well-updated properties in mid-range price points.

Whether you’re actively in the market or just keeping an eye on things, these insights are here to help you make smarter real estate decisions in Twin Falls.

Want to know what your home is worth in today’s market? Or need help finding the right place to land this summer? Let’s connect—I’m always here to help.

Your April Magic Valley Real Estate Update

Buying, Market Update, Relocating, Selling, Twin Falls / May 19, 2025

Spring is in full swing here in Twin Falls, and so is the Magic Valley real estate market. April brought a fresh wave of activity, giving us a clearer view of buyer behavior, seller confidence, and pricing trends. Whether you’re planning to list, shop, or simply stay informed, here’s what the latest numbers mean for you.

What You Need to Know About Magic Valley Real Estate in April:

Number of Residential Sales
Months of Inventory (MOI)
New Listings
Average Sales Price
Days on Market

Number of Residential Sales

n April 2025, 99 single-family homes were sold across Twin Falls County. That’s a slight increase from April 2024, marking a 5.3% year-over-year jump in total sales. Of those:

79 were existing homes (↑11.3% from last year)
20 were newly constructed (↓13% from last year)

This uptick in overall sales—especially for existing homes—shows that buyers are still active, even as affordability and interest rates remain top of mind. New construction saw a small dip, but that’s likely tied more to longer build times or delayed completions than a drop in interest.

Steal This!

Months of Inventory (MOI)

Twin Falls had 390 active listings in April, and with 99 homes sold, that gives us about 3.94 months of inventory.

What does this mean?

A balanced market typically hovers between 4 and 6 months of inventory. We’re just under that threshold—still leaning slightly in favor of sellers, but with more breathing room than in previous years.

Compared to 282 listings this time last year, Magic Valley real estate inventory has grown by nearly 40%, offering buyers more selection and reducing some of the urgency we’ve seen in past spring markets.

New Listings

Fresh inventory is hitting the market—and fast. April saw:

100 newly constructed listings, up from 84 in April 2024
290 existing residential listings, up from 198 last year

This surge in listings is a strong signal of seller confidence. After a slow start to the year, more homeowners (and builders) are stepping forward to meet buyer demand. With 147 pending contracts by the end of the month, that new inventory is being met with plenty of interest.

Average Sales Price

Home prices are holding steady—and that’s good news for both buyers and sellers looking for stability. Here’s where the numbers landed:

Overall average sales price: $400,737 (basically unchanged year-over-year)
Existing homes: $390,066 (↑2.8%)
New construction: $463,622 (↑4.4%)

While prices for resale homes remained stready, new construction prices continued to rise more rapidly. This reflects both the higher cost of building materials and the demand for modern layouts and energy efficiency. Importantly, the median price across all homes is up 2.5%, showing a healthy (and sustainable) level of appreciation.

Days on Market

How long are homes sitting before they go under contract?

Overall average: 74 days
Existing homes: 68 days
New construction: 99 days

Buyers are moving quicker on existing homes, often because they’re ready for immediate occupancy. Meanwhile, new builds continue to take longer, sometimes due to pre-sale phases or final construction timelines. Still, both timelines are longer than they were just a few years ago, showing a market that’s active—but no longer frantic.

What This Means For You

In conclusion:

Buyers: There’s more to choose from, and prices have leveled off. That gives you some negotiating power—but be ready to act when you find the right fit.
Sellers: Inventory is rising, but well-priced homes are still moving. If your home is prepped and priced correctly, you can expect solid interest this season.
Investors/Builders: Demand for new construction remains, but longer market times mean product-market fit and price points matter more than ever.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply staying informed, understanding the numbers is your first step. Want a customized market analysis or just curious what your home might sell for? Let’s connect and talk strategy.

Twin Falls Real Estate Market Update – March 2025: Home Sales, Prices & Trends

Buying, Market Update, Relocating, Selling, Twin Falls / April 21, 2025

Spring has arrived in the Magic Valley, and with it comes a fresh look at how the real estate market is performing across Twin Falls County. Whether you’re a homeowner considering a move, a first-time buyer stepping into the market, or simply keeping tabs on your home’s value, here’s a full breakdown of the March 2025 numbers—and what they mean for you.

What You Need to Know About the Twin Falls County Market:

Number of Residential Sales
Months of Inventory (MOI)
New Listings
Average Sales Price
Days on Market

Number of Residential Sales

In March 2025, 95 single-family homes were sold in Twin Falls County. That total includes:

77 existing homes
18 newly constructed homes

Compared to March of last year, we saw a slight 7.8% dip in total home sales. While that might sound discouraging on the surface, it’s important to view it in context: March tends to be a transitional month in real estate, with buyers and sellers just beginning to ramp up for the busy spring and summer seasons.

Looking at the year-to-date numbers, the numberof total homes sold are up 8.37%, sales of existing homes are down about 11.5% compared to this point in 2024, while new construction sales have actually increased by 12.5%, showing signs that new builds are gaining momentum.

What does this tell us? While there’s been a minor slowdown in existing home transactions, buyer activity hasn’t disappeared—it’s just shifting slightly toward newer homes.

Snag This!

Months of Inventory (MOI)

Inventory levels play a big role in shaping whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market. In March:

There were 368 active residential listings in Twin Falls County
With 95 homes sold, that gives us an MOI (Months of Inventory) of 3.87

That number means that if no new homes were listed, it would take nearly four months to sell all existing inventory. Generally speaking:

1–3 months = Seller’s market
4–6 months = Balanced market
6+ months = Buyer’s market

At just under four months, Twin Falls is walking the line between a strong seller’s market and a more balanced one. Inventory is up from 293 listings last March, giving buyers more breathing room and reducing the competition we saw over the last few years.

New Listings

Builders and sellers are answering the call: March had a total of 112 newly constructed residential listings, a 27% increase from the 88 listed last March.

This rise in new construction inventory is good news for buyers looking for move-in-ready homes with modern features and energy efficiency. On the flip side, existing residential listings also increased to 256, up from 205 last year—another indicator that sellers are becoming more confident about listing.

Average Sales Price

Home values in Twin Falls County remain steady and strong. Here’s the breakdown:

Overall average price:
$403,173 (↑ 1.75% year-over-year)
Existing homes:
$392,032 (↑ 4.04%)
New construction:
$452,150 (↓ 6.24%)

The slight dip in new construction prices may reflect builders offering incentives or more competitive pricing in response to longer days on market. On the other hand, existing homes are showing a gentle upward trend, suggesting steady demand and appreciating values in well-maintained resale properties.

For buyers, this stability is reassuring—it signals that the market isn’t swinging wildly. For sellers, it shows that value is holding and there’s room for appreciation with the right strategy.

Days on Market

How quickly homes are selling can tell us a lot about demand. In March:

Existing homes spent an average of 60 days on market, down from 69 days a year ago.
Newly constructed homes took 117 days on average to go pending, compared to 107 last March.

Sales of existing homes are progressing quickly, despite a larger inventory compared to last year. Conversely, newly constructed homes are taking longer to sell on average.

What Does This All Mean?

For buyers: Inventory is improving, and while competition still exists, you’re no longer facing the ultra-tight market of previous years. Take your time to find the right fit—but be ready to act when you do, and be competive on newly listed properties.

For sellers: Homes are still moving, especially if priced well and presented properly. With new listings increasing, now is the time to prepare your home to stand out.

For investors and builders: New construction is gaining ground, but longer market times indicate a need to align pricing and features with current buyer preferences.

Whether you’re entering the market this season or just keeping an eye on it, we’re here to help make sense of what these numbers mean for you. Let’s chat about how we can make your real estate goals a reality this spring.
