Home Prices Are Plummeting In The Pacific Northwest

It's happening! Everybody remain calm! A significant number of sellers in America, especially those in the Pacific Northwest, are cutting home prices as high mortgage rates and fears of a potential recession have put many potential buyers at bay.

A new report by Redfin showed that more than 25% of home sellers in three-quarters of metros tracked by the brokerage across the country dropped their asking prices in the month of June. We're also seeing prices drop dramatically in Idaho, Washington, Utah, and California.

Some areas of the U.S. saw more than 60% of sellers drop their price, which the report says has "become a common feature of the cooling housing market, particularly in places that were popular with homebuyers earlier in the pandemic."

Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather told FOX Business that thirty-year mortgage rates are much higher than they were earlier in the year which has eaten into the budgets of homebuyers.

With these sort of market corrections beginning to happen, those of us in Boise, Idaho could soon see home prices become much more affordable. As home prices have climbed to 60% higher than they were pre-pandemic.

Boise saw one of the most dramatic prices drops in the country in the month of June. It wasn't alone, however. Here are the top ten metros in the United States that saw their home prices drop in June of 2022.

Amazing that Boise was top in the country when it comes to dropping home prices, but it shouldn't surprise any of us locals given how ridiculous those prices were to begin with.

It's a good sign that prices are beginning to drop. More Idahoans will be able to afford a home and will stop renting.

As things begin to get cheaper, we may see new options emerge to get more people into home. Consider this creative option as a future possibility.

Could The Answer To Boise's Housing Crisis Be In A Box?
