Local Area Topic: Discover Why Living in Idaho Falls Still Makes Sense

Are you wondering whether moving to Idaho Falls is still a smart choice in today’s market? The short answer: yes, and here’s why, especially if you’re working with a dedicated listing agent to guide you.


Why Idaho Falls stands out

  • The median home value in Idaho Falls is currently $387,335, up about 0.7 % over the past year. 

  • According to recent data, homes are taking longer to sell, the median days on market recently reached 69 days, up from 55 days last year.

  • Cost of living here remains ~17 % below the national average, making it an appealing option for many relocating buyers.


What this means for you

As your listing agent (and fellow Idaho Falls-area expert), here are three key takeaways:

  1. Still good value
    With home values growing modestly and cost of living lower, you can get more for your money compared to many markets.

  2. Less frenetic, more thoughtful market
    Longer time on market means you may have more breathing room for decision-making — but you still want a strong strategy.

  3. Relocation opportunity
    If you’re moving from out of state (or from a more expensive region), this is a chance to lock in value while enjoying the lifestyle and amenities our area offers.


Neighborhood vibe + lifestyle perks

Beyond the numbers, Idaho Falls delivers:

  • The scenic Snake River Greenbelt, ideal for walking, biking and outdoor recreation.

  • Family-friendly amenities like Tautphaus Park and the zoo. 

  • A strong base for exploring the rest of eastern Idaho, from Island Park to Rexburg, giving you both community and adventure.


If you’re thinking of buying (or relocating) here…

  • Decide what’s important: lot size, school district, commute, view?

  • Get pre-approved so you know your budget and can act when the right listing appears.

  • Partner with a listing agent (that’s me!) who knows the Idaho Falls market and will advocate for your needs every step of the way.

  • Although the pace has cooled compared to the frenzy of past years, strong homes still move, preparation and responsiveness matter.
