Idaho Market Overview
Boise had one of the most dramatic pandemic-era surges in the country and has since cooled from its peak. The market is now in a healthier, more sustainable position. Idaho's combination of outdoor lifestyle, lower taxes, and a growing tech scene (Micron Technology is headquartered in Boise) continues to attract Western transplants, though at a more measured pace than 2021–2022.
Market has come back to earth. You have more negotiating power than 2022 buyers. Nampa and Caldwell are value plays with short Boise commutes.
Pricing discipline is essential. The days of 15% over asking are gone. Correct pricing will still generate solid activity — overpricing just extends your days on market.
