What is the Rexburg market doing right now?
Numbers on this site are real, sourced, and dated — never invented. Here is the current picture for the Rexburg metro area, which in federal statistics means Madison and Fremont counties together:
- $649,766 — median listing price, Rexburg metro area (Madison + Fremont counties) (Realtor.com via FRED, June 2026)
- 61 days — median days on market, Rexburg metro area (44 days in April 2026) (Realtor.com via FRED, June 2026)
- 303 — active listings, Rexburg metro area (up from 228 in April 2026) (Realtor.com via FRED, June 2026)
Read those numbers with care: the metro-area median includes Fremont County resort property around Island Park, which pulls the listing price well above what a typical Rexburg family home sells for. What the trend does show clearly is direction — more homes on the market and longer marketing times than this spring.
A statistic without a date and a source is just a sales pitch. The numbers on this site name where they came from and when, and they get updated as the market moves.

Why work with a local agent instead of guessing?
Rexburg is not a typical market, and averages mislead here. It is a university town — Rexburg's population was 39,409 at the 2020 U.S. Census — where student-driven rental demand, approved-housing rules, and seasonal listing patterns shape prices street by street. An agent who works these streets can tell you which numbers apply to your situation and which do not.

Common questions
What areas does Kjel Jones Real Estate serve?
Rexburg, Sugar City, and surrounding eastern Idaho — including Madison County and nearby communities such as Rigby, St. Anthony, and the north end of the Idaho Falls area. If you are not sure whether your property falls inside that area, ask; the honest answer might be a referral to someone closer.
What does it cost to talk to you?
Nothing. Questions, a market opinion on your house, or a sanity check on a listing you found are free. You only ever pay a fee under a written agreement we both sign before any brokerage work starts, and the fees page on this site explains exactly how that works.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Yes, and Rexburg has a lot of them — it is a university town with a young population. Expect plain explanations of earnest money, inspections, appraisals, and loan types, and no pressure to stretch past what you can actually afford.
Can you help me sell a house I inherited or manage from out of state?
Yes. Estate sales and out-of-area owners are common in eastern Idaho. Everything — signing, document review, photos, updates — can be handled remotely, with the property looked after locally.
Do you handle bare land and new construction?
Yes. A large share of eastern Idaho transactions involve lots, acreage, wells, septic systems, and irrigation rights. Before you commit to a lot, the goal is to know what it will actually cost to build on it — not to find out after closing.
What brokerage are you with?
Kjel Jones is a licensed real estate agent in Idaho with LPT Realty. All real estate brokerage services are offered through LPT Realty.
How fast do you respond?
Usually the same day. Call or text (208) 346-0163, email kjel@kjeljonesrealestate.com, or use the contact form. If you submit the form, you choose how you want to be contacted — text messages are only ever sent if you explicitly opt in.
Is now a good time to buy or sell in Rexburg?
It depends on your situation more than on the market. As of mid-2026, listings in the Rexburg metro area are sitting longer and inventory has grown, which favors prepared buyers and realistically priced sellers. The market snapshot on this page carries the current sourced numbers.
