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
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.

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.
