The current average level of home supply is at 2.12 months which is consistent with a robust housing market that has seen almost 24 months of consecutive increases in home prices. As we go into 2019 the national forecast from the experts is mixed with some saying demand will cool due to slower than expected population growth and excess inventory and others maintaining that 2019 will continue to be strong and that excess inventory will be snapped up given pent up demand. We do not have a crystal ball, but on balance we see a steady market through 2019.
Competition for the most affordable housing range of prices between $100-200,000 is higher and as a result, the monthly Inventory and supply for homes was well below the average (by almost 45%) for Twin Falls at 1.1-1.4 months.
