The Boise/Nampa metropolitan area saw the biggest year-over-year upturn in Idaho at 12.4 percent. Coeur d’Alene (6.8 percent) and Lewiston (2.5 percent) also saw increases. In Idaho Falls (.73 percent) and Pocatello (.38 percent) home prices have dipped since the third quarter of 2012.
The FHFA House Price Index is calculated using the purchase prices of homes with mortgages that have been sold to or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and uses repeat-sales data obtained from Idaho-specific, single-family properties.
