Alarm Sounds for Buyers

Ada County foreplexes most likely have hit bottom and there is no evidence that they will decrease any further. The ingredients: Active listings are down, pending deals have been trending up and up for the past 6 weeks, and deals are closing. The result is the lowest inventory levels, based on buyer absorption since 2007. I believe that once the pending Ada County fourplex deals actually close, the data will likely show that prices are on their way up. Based on the current rate of sales, Canyon County inventories of duplexes and fourplexes are also at record lows, with less than 3 months of inventory for fourplexes and 9 months for duplexes.

Why? I've been involved in most of the recent fourplex deals in one way or another and I think that we have had a lot of investors sitting by waiting and waiting to see if the bottom would ever hit. Regardless of where the bottom is, recent prices made cash performance too good to sit by and watch any further. So maybe we see values go up next month, but the interest rates make up the difference. Remember, 1% of savings on the interest rate is about eqivalent to a $25,000 price reduction. So, the deals are still there to be made.
