Welcome to the latest update on the Twin Falls real estate market! Whether you’re buying, selling, or just interested in local market trends, I have all the information you need. Let’s dive into the key data points, including residential sales, inventory levels, new listings, average prices, and how long homes are staying on the 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

July 2024 was an active month for the Twin Falls real estate market, with 150 single-family homes sold, showing a strong increase from 86 homes sold in July 2023. This marks a significant year-over-year growth of 74.42%. Existing home sales also surged, with 120 homes sold compared to 70 in July 2023, reflecting a 71.43% increase. Newly constructed homes saw even more impressive growth, with 30 homes sold compared to 16 in July 2023, an 87.5% increase.

Steal This!

Months of Inventory (MOI)

Twin Falls County currently has 3.5 Months of Inventory (MOI). The total active residential listings in July 2024 rose to 378, up from 301 in July 2023. This increase in inventory suggests that buyers have more options available, which could lead to a slightly less competitive market compared to previous months. However, the increase in sales is helping to balance this out, keeping the market dynamic.

New Listings

New listings continue to enter the market at a steady pace, with 378 active residential listings in July 2024, an increase from 301 listings in July 2023. This uptick in new listings reflects the ongoing interest in the Twin Falls market, both from sellers looking to capitalize on favorable conditions and buyers eager to find their ideal home.

Average Sales Price

The average sales price for single-family homes in Twin Falls County has also seen positive movement. In July 2024, the average price was $417,175, a 4.07% increase from $400,857 in July 2023. The average price for existing homes rose by 3.54%, reaching $406,227. Newly constructed homes commanded a higher average price of $460,964, a 5.20% increase from $438,188 in the previous year.

Days on Market

Homes in Twin Falls are selling faster than they did last year. The average days on market (DOM) for all homes in July 2024 was 59 days, down from 66 days in July 2023. Existing homes are moving even quicker, with an average DOM of 49 days compared to 55 days last year. Newly constructed homes are taking slightly longer, with an average DOM of 101 days, though this is an improvement from 110 days in July 2023.

The Twin Falls real estate market continues to show robust growth, with significant increases in both sales and prices. The market remains active, with more homes coming onto the market, and selling faster than in the last couple of years.

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, staying informed about these trends will help you navigate the market effectively. Stay in the know with my monthly newsletter!

Best Neighborhoods in Twin Falls for Active Lifestyles:

Settler’s Ridge

Settler's Ridge

One of the best neighborhoods in Twin Falls on the west side of town is Settler’s Ridge. This area boasts a delightful blend of homes, from charming residences built in the early 2000s to modern abodes from the late 2010s.

The trail conveniently leads to some of the most popular local restaurants, making it easy to enjoy a meal out. Plus, you’ll find Northern Ridge Park here, a sprawling green space perfect for various activities, including sports games, picnics, birthday parties, and an amazing playground for kids. This subdivision is hands down one of my favorites in Twin Falls!

Sunterra is another fantastic neighborhood in Twin Falls, offering a wonderful mix of homes from the early 2000s to brand-new constructions. With its beautiful homes, wide streets, and friendly neighbors, Sunterra is an inviting place to live.

One of the highlights of this neighborhood is its proximity to First Federal Bank Park, located at the Sunway Soccer Complex. This park, beloved by local kids, features unique playground equipment and a refreshing water attraction. Donated by First Federal Bank in 2015, the park includes an all-inclusive playground and Twin Falls’ first splash pad, with the recent addition of the St. Luke’s Pavilion providing much-needed shade. The park is open year-round, and the splash pad operates from Memorial Day weekend through September.

Additionally, a farmers market within biking distance makes Sunterra an even more appealing place to call home.

The 5 Best Outdoor Activities In Twin Falls

Community, Relocating, Twin Falls / May 27, 2024

Summer is just around the corner, and I am thrilled! Are you excited for the fantastic outdoor activities that Twin Falls has to offer? I can’t wait to share some of my favorite things to do in the city and the nearby areas with you. Be sure to read until the end to discover some of my lesser-known favorites.

Best Outdoor Activities In (and Nearby) Twin Falls:

Kayak/Paddle Board the Snake River at Centennial Park
Visit Shoshone Falls & Hike the Dierke’s Lake Trail
Enjoy a Bike Ride or a Hike Around Auger Falls Park
Play Disc Golf, Take a Walk, and More at Rock Creek Park
Hike By Cows to Vineyard Lake

Kayak/Paddle Board the Snake River at Centennial Park

One of my favorite parts of living in Twin Falls is the easy access to fun activities and minimal travel time. You can enjoy some of the best outdoor activities in Twin Falls within 15 minutes of almost any part of town.

One of my favorite activities is kayaking or paddleboarding on the Snake River access point located at Centennial Park. You can bring your equipment or rent one through AWOL. I recommend booking in advance, especially if you plan to go on a weekend.

I love this part of the River because you can enjoy some breathtaking views, even if you’re short on time. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a base jumper! However, if you have more time to spare, I highly recommend paddling past the Perrine Bridge to Pillar Falls.

Pillar Falls is a great spot to take a break, enjoy your lunch, and relax. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can paddle all the way to Shoshone Falls. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to exercise caution while crossing. You can learn more about the route and any potential challenges here.

Visit Shoshone Falls & Hike the Dierke's Lake Trail Falls

If you’re from Twin Falls or visiting, one of the best outdoor activities to do, especially in the spring, is to visit Shoshone Falls. The view is spectacular, and it is one of the tallest waterfalls in the U.S., taller than its eastern cousin, Niagara Falls.

You’ll find plenty of room to walk around and enjoy the beautiful scenery, interesting information about Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls history, and a snack shack.

After you have finished exploring Shoshone Falls, check out Dierkes Lake. This place offers tons of fun activities, such as swimming, BBQing, and playing on the playground. In addition, there is a beautiful walking trail around the lake that provides breathtaking views of the Snake River. Some parts of the trail even offer access to rock climbing areas. Learn more about Shoshone Falls and Dierkes Lake. Find out more.

Enjoy a Bike Ride or a Hike Around Auger Falls Park

Auger Falls Heritage Park is a wonderful destination for anyone who enjoys breathtaking views of the canyon floor and the Snake River. This 680-acre park is an ideal spot for hiking with your family and pets, as well as mountain biking. The park features numerous historical viewpoints, hiking trails, and fishing spots.

You can find several waterfalls in the park, including Auger Falls on the Snake River about a mile into the park. Additionally, you will find other waterfalls such as Mermaid Falls. Find out more.

Play Disc Golf, Take a Walk, and More at Rock Creek Park

Rock Creek Park is a twelve acre park located off HWY 30. you can find a variety of different activities here such as playground equipment, pavilions that can be reserved for events, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts, 2 fire ring areas, walking, and hiking trails, fishing, as well as native species of wildlife.

The most recent addition to the park is the disc golf course which is a challenging 18-hole course located in the canyon. Learn more about Rock Creek Park.

Hike By Cows to Vineyard Lake

I saved the best for last. Hiking down to Vineyard Lake is the best outdoor activity in Twin Falls, in my opinion. Spend a day relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

This unique lake is located outside of Twin Falls and requires a hike through a cow pasture. The owner kindly permits people to use the pasture to access the canyon where a beautiful small lake can be found. If you’re fortunate, you might even have the opportunity to enjoy the lake all to yourself.

This activity is perfect for the weekend: pack a picnic, invite your friends or family, bring along some floaties, and relish on a fantastic summer day. For precise instructions, feel free to reach out to me.

I hope this helped give you some ideas about some of the best outdoor activities in Twin Falls. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or want more ideas.

Twin Falls County Real Estate Market Update: April 2024

Buhl, Community, Filer, Kimberly, Market Update, Relocating, Selling, Twin Falls / May 13, 2024

Are you a homeowner in Twin Falls County- or interested in becoming one? Here is the information you’ll need about what happened in the real estate market in April 2024. Competition and prices are on the increase, and days on the market are on the decrease. Don’t miss out on learning more about reducing the cost of your mortgage or getting a lower rate, make sure you read until the end!

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

April continued the trend of the downward number of sales in Twin Falls County this year. For April, there were a total of 92 single-family homes sold in Twin Falls County, down 12.38% from April last year, which had 105 homes sold. Year-to-date (YTD) sales are down 8.29% from 2023.

Interest rates continue to increase as inflation remains elevated. Because of the higher rates and high property values, a lot of the people in today’s market are people who have to move or first-timers. Despite the number of residential sales being down, property values are continuing to rise- I’ll get more into that later.

Steal This!

Months of Inventory (MOI)

Twin Falls County is currently experiencing a seller’s market, with only 2.9 months’ worth of inventory available. The months of inventory refer to the amount of time it would take for all the homes on the market to be absorbed, assuming no new homes were listed. Although some seller compensations are being offered at certain price points in the area, many homes are still receiving multiple offers, particularly those that fall within the $200,000-$400,000 price range.

New Listings

In April, Twin Falls County had 139 new listings on the market, of which 58 have sold or gone pending. Homes that are well-maintained, located in a good area, and priced appropriately are selling quickly. If you’re planning on selling your home this spring or summer, it’s crucial to take the time to prepare your home properly and partner with someone who has a great marketing plan. In today’s market, this will often result in a quick sale.

If you are planning to purchase a property, it is crucial to plan for a successful experience. Before beginning your home shopping, take the time to compare lenders. With current interest rates, it is essential to review the different programs that lenders are offering and compare their fee structures. This will help you make an informed decision when selecting a lender and ensure that you get the best possible deal. I have seen lenders recently offering credits for their fees, rate relief programs, and more. I’m happy to provide you with these lenders’ information.

Also, if you can get your loan underwritten upfront, this will help your offer stand out when you’re ready. Of the 92 homes sold in April, 22 were cash deals. Having your loan underwritten upfront will help you be as competitive as possible.

Average Sales Price

The average sales price YTD in April was $396, 464. This number is up 7.54% from April 2023 when the average sales price in Twin Falls County was $360,341. Property values continue to increase month after month in the Magic Valley.

Days on Market

The average days on the market (DOM) in April was 56, while year-to-date was 77. However, if you look at the 92 homes sold in April, 49 of which were between $200,000-$400,000. The average days on the market for these homes was 40, while the median was just 11. The market is moving quick- especially for homes under $400,000.

As always, this market update is an general overview of things going on. Everybody has their own situation, and I am happy to take the time to learn more about your real estate goals and show you how I can help make them happen. You can set up a no-pressure phone call here.
