Market data as of August 9, 2026
If you're thinking about buying or selling in Chubbuck or Pocatello, here's the honest read on where things stand today — no fluff, just the numbers and what they mean for you.
The Big Picture: A Balanced Market
Right now there's 3.3 months of supply on the market, with an absorption rate of 30.4%. In plain English: this isn't the frantic seller's market of a few years ago, but it's not a buyer's free-for-all either. We're sitting close to balanced territory, which means well-priced homes are still moving, and buyers have enough options to be selective.
What's Currently on the Market
- 322 active listings across Chubbuck and Pocatello
- Active listings are averaging 70 days on market
- 101 homes are pending, putting the pending ratio at 24%
That pending ratio tells you something important: roughly a quarter of what's out there is already spoken for. Inventory is there, but it's not sitting untouched.
Most of the action is happening in the $300k–$350k and $500k–$600k ranges, which are the two clear hot spots on the active listings chart. If you're a seller in one of those bands, expect more competition. If you're shopping there, expect more choices.
What's Actually Been Selling
Over the last three months:
- 294 homes sold
- Sold listings averaged just 49 days on market — noticeably faster than active listings, which tells you priced-right homes don't sit
- That's about 98 sales per month
- Homes sold for 96.8% of original list price on average
That last number is the one worth sitting with. Homes are consistently landing within a few percentage points of asking. Overpricing still costs you time on market; pricing it right from day one is still the fastest way to a closed deal.
Where Prices Actually Land
Here's the full pricing picture, from list to close:
| Stage | Price |
|---|---|
| Active list price (avg) | $422,576 |
| Pending list price (avg) | $379,382 |
| Original list price (sold) | $373,634 |
| Final list price (sold) | $367,482 |
| Sold price (avg) | $363,335 |
Sellers are adjusting an average of 1.9% off their original list price before going final, and closing about 1.3% below that final list price. All in, homes are closing at 96.8% of what they were originally listed for — which, again, is a healthy, realistic number. It's not a market where sellers need to slash prices to sell, but it's also not one where you can list high and expect full price.
What This Means for You
If you're selling: Price it accurately from the start. Homes that hit the market at a realistic number are selling in under 50 days at nearly full price. Homes that get overpriced are the ones padding that 70-day active average.
If you're buying: You've got real inventory to work with — 322 active listings is a healthy pool — but don't assume you have all the leverage. A quarter of the market is already pending, and homes that are priced well aren't lingering. If you find the right one, move on it.
If you're investing: The $300k–$350k band is clearly where the volume is. That's useful to know whether you're looking at rental comps, flip potential, or just gauging where demand is concentrated.
Bottom Line
Chubbuck and Pocatello are holding steady — not overheated, not soft. Homes priced right are selling close to asking price in under two months. That's a market that rewards good pricing strategy over guesswork, whether you're on the buying or selling side.
