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