Paramount is one of the larger master planned communities being developed to date in Ada County.  It covers a full square mile between Chinden on the north, Meridian Road on the east, McMillan on the south, and Linder on the west.  The completed plan will feature primarily single family homes with parks and common areas, and two community pools.  Also included will be retail and office space, as well multi-family residential, along with a high school and an elementary school on site which are nearly finished being constructed, and there is a middle school across Meridian Road from the community.

Hunter Pointe is a community of 290 homes, built in the mid-90's.  It sits just north of the Meridian city center, west of Locust Grove and north of Fairview.  The neighborhood's great location close to schools and shopping, along with the good sized lots (0.18 to 0.23 acre) and a variety of home styles by multiple builders, has kept the property values in the neighborhood a bit more firm than some other areas of the county, and certainly better than much of the nation.  There have been 4 homes sold since January of this year (one a month but for February), with an average price of $202,600 (or approximately $135 per square foot).  7 homes are currently listed for sale on the MLS, and there is one pending sale.  Of the homes that are listed, the low price is $199,000 and the high price ... 06/21/2007

Here we are in the middle of June already!  I thought it would be a good time to check out how the real estate market has been going so far this month, and in this post I'll just look at what's going on in Meridian.At the end of last week in the MLS, there were 1537 Single Family Residential listings active for Meridian.  That doesn't count condos or mobiles or townhomes (unless someone listed them SF...grrr!).  The low price is $109,000 and there is one at $1.6million.  The average, however, is $314,402, with a median price of $289,450.  Average and median are not the same... average adds them all together and divides by how many there are.  I find median to be more useful as that is the number right in the middle.  In other words, the same number of homes are above that median number ... 06/20/2007
