Understanding the real numbers behind the market gives buyers and sellers an edge. Here's what Q1 2026 looks like in Southeast Idaho, sourced from Redfin, Zillow, and Reventure App data for Bonneville County.
Median Sale Price: $382,500
The median sale price for homes in Bonneville County came in at $382,500 in February 2026, reflecting a 4.4% decline year-over-year (source: Redfin). This follows a period of rapid appreciation — Idaho Falls city-level data showed the median hitting $350,000 in January 2025 with a 17.1% annual gain (source: Redfin via Zillow ZHVI). The current correction brings prices closer to sustainable levels relative to local incomes, a metric tracked by Reventure App's overvaluation index.
Sales Volume: 120 Homes Sold
Bonneville County recorded 120 home sales in February 2026, a 14.3% increase over the 105 homes sold in February 2025 (source: Redfin). This rebound in transaction volume signals that buyers are re-entering the market despite elevated mortgage rates. More deals are getting done compared to last year — a healthy sign for market liquidity.
Days on Market: 72 Days
The median days on market rose to 72 days in February 2026, up from 56 days a year ago — an increase of 16 days (source: Redfin). This longer timeline reflects a market that has shifted from the frenzied pace of 2021-2022 to one where buyers have more time to evaluate options. Well-priced, professionally marketed homes still move faster than average, while overpriced listings are sitting. Reventure App tracks this metric nationally, and Bonneville County's days on market remains below many comparable Western metros.
Inventory and Supply
Inventory levels remain below historical norms for Southeast Idaho. According to Realtor.com data (tracked by Reventure App), active for-sale listings have increased year-over-year but remain well under the 5-6 month supply considered a balanced market. The under-$400K segment remains the tightest, while the $500K+ range offers buyers more choices and negotiating room.
What Reventure App Data Shows
Reventure App — a housing market analytics platform sourcing data from Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and the U.S. Census Bureau — provides additional context for the Idaho Falls metro area. Their platform tracks home value trends, overvaluation percentages (comparing home values to local incomes), cap rates for investors, and population growth metrics. For Bonneville County, the data shows a market that experienced significant appreciation from 2020-2024 and is now in a normalization phase — prices adjusting while fundamentals like population growth, INL employment, and limited buildable land continue to support long-term values.
Interest Rate Impact
Buyer activity continues to show clear sensitivity to rate movements. The current rate environment (the 30-year fixed is at ~6.65% as of March 2026) keeps monthly payments elevated relative to 2021-2022 levels. However, weeks following rate dips consistently show measurable increases in showing activity and offer volume across Southeast Idaho. Rates remain the dominant variable for the rest of 2026.
What This Means for You
Sellers: Pricing strategy matters more than ever. The 4.4% price correction means aspirational pricing will cost you — homes priced at market value are moving, while overpriced listings are sitting 72+ days. Professional marketing and presentation (cinematic media, drone, staging) remain the differentiator between selling quickly and chasing the market down.
Buyers: The 14.3% increase in sales volume tells you that other buyers are making moves. With prices corrected from their 2024 peaks and more inventory available, this is a window of opportunity — especially if rates drop further. The longer days-on-market timeline gives you negotiating leverage that didn't exist two years ago.
Investors: Reventure App's cap rate and rental data for the Idaho Falls metro shows continued demand for rental housing driven by INL expansion and BYU-Idaho enrollment. The price correction improves entry points for buy-and-hold strategies.
Data sources: Redfin (sales, pricing, days on market), Zillow ZHVI (home value index), Realtor.com (inventory, listings), Reventure App (analytics, overvaluation metrics), U.S. Census Bureau (demographics). Data as of February 2026 for Bonneville County, ID.
