What if one of the biggest reasons home prices exploded… wasn’t COVID? AKA Covid Sugar High.

COVID and historically low interest rates absolutely poured gasoline on the fire.

But the fire was already there.

Millennials are a massive generation, and for years, many of them wanted to buy homes but weren’t financially ready or able to qualify.

That demand didn’t disappear.

It waited.

Then rates dropped, buying power jumped, and a huge wave of buyers who had been sitting on the sidelines suddenly had an opportunity to move.

And they did.

All at once.

That’s the part of the housing-price conversation we don’t talk about enough: real estate isn’t just economics. It’s demographics.

Understanding what happened matters—because if we’re going to make smart decisions about where housing goes next, we need to understand what actually got us here.

🎥 Rob breaks it down in this clip from our October Boise’s Best Real Estate podcast.

Real estate priorities change fast when football season hits. 🏈😂
April:
“We want a great outdoor living space.”
October:
“Okay…but where does the 100-inch TV go?”
Around here, Rob and Kelly have officially entered peak Idaho backyard season — football on the big screen, Bentley and Baxter supervising, drinks within reach, and absolutely no reason to go inside.
And honestly? This is why “outdoor living space” means something a little different in the Treasure Valley. A great backyard isn't just something pretty on a listing sheet. It's where Saturday football happens. Where the dogs take over the furniture. Where friends end up staying three hours longer than planned.
When we're helping buyers look at homes in Boise, Meridian and the Treasure Valley, these are the things we're really looking for:
Not just Does it have a patio?
But How are you actually going to LIVE here?
Because apparently sometimes the answer is:
With a 100-inch TV. 😂
What’s YOUR completely non-negotiable house feature?

The Boise housing market is hot.

The Boise housing market is slow.

It’s a buyer’s market.

It’s a seller’s market.

🤦‍♀️ See the problem?

Two homes can be just a few miles apart in the Treasure Valley and be experiencing completely different real estate markets.

Boise vs. Meridian.
Resale vs. new construction.
$450K vs. $800K.
Move-in ready vs. needs work.

Those differences matter—a LOT—if you’re deciding whether to buy, sell, or stay put.

So before you let a national headline (or your neighbor 😉) tell you what the Boise real estate market is doing, ask a better question:

What is MY market doing?

That’s where the useful information starts.

From chalk dust to closing day…there have been a few plot twists along the way.

I spent much of my childhood chasing perfection four inches at a time. Gymnastics taught me discipline, resilience and how to keep going when things didn’t go according to plan—which, as it turns out, was excellent preparation for real estate. 😂

But gymnastics wasn’t the reason I chose this career.

My son, Rob, was.

I needed a career that would challenge me, reward the effort I was willing to give and still allow me to be the mom I wanted to be. Real estate gave me that opportunity—and eventually became something much bigger than I ever imagined.

More than 25 years later, the little boy who gave me the motivation to begin has built an incredible life and career of his own. After serving in the United States Air Force and medically retiring, Rob came home and joined me at Boise’s Best Real Estate as our Director of Operations.

Talk about a full-circle moment.

Today, we work side by side helping people buy their first homes, sell homes filled with memories, relocate for new opportunities and navigate some of the most complicated chapters of their lives.

The houses matter. The contracts matter. The numbers definitely matter.

But the people have always mattered most.

Real estate gave me the flexibility to be Rob’s mom. Now it gives us the opportunity to build something meaningful together—and help other people find the place where their own next chapter can begin.

I have officially surrendered to the retail holiday calendar.

Halloween decorations are already everywhere.

Christmas has started creeping into the stores like it pays rent.

And Thanksgiving is standing in the parking lot asking, “Do I still work here?”

So I’m considering the only reasonable solution:

One tree.

Decorated with turkeys, pumpkins, spiderwebs and ornaments in brown, orange, red, white and green.

I’m calling it Hallothanksmas.

It’s festive.
It’s efficient.
It’s deeply confusing.
And it saves me from redecorating three separate times.

As someone who spends a fair amount of time discussing home staging and decorating with Boise and Meridian homeowners, I realize this may damage my professional credibility.

On the other hand, add some tasteful ribbon and good lighting and I can defend almost anything.

What do we think?

🎃 Brilliant holiday efficiency
🦃 Justice for Thanksgiving
🎄 A seasonal cry for help
🔥 Please step away from the tree, Leigh

He refinanced, paid off every other bill he had—and his mortgage payment still went DOWN. 🤯

Yes, that happened during the gloriously ridiculous days of 2.6% mortgage rates. We may never see numbers like that again, but the bigger lesson still matters:

Your home equity may be more than a number on paper. Used strategically, it can sometimes help you consolidate higher-interest debt, simplify your monthly obligations, or create more breathing room.

But—and this is a BIG but—moving debt onto your house does not magically erase it. The interest rate, fees, repayment plan, and risk all have to make sense. This is a strategy, not a financial Etch A Sketch.

Before you assume your equity should sit untouched—or that tapping it is automatically smart—talk with a qualified lender and financial or tax professional who can evaluate the entire picture.

Have you ever used your home equity to improve your financial position?

What’s waiting for you on the other side of this house?

That’s a question I wish we asked sellers more often.

Before we talk about price, comps, marketing or how quickly we think your home might sell, I want to know why we’re sitting together in the first place.

Are you moving closer to your kids? Retiring somewhere you’ve talked about for years? Did you get a job opportunity you couldn’t pass up? Do you need more house—or are you finally ready for a whole lot less of it?

Or maybe you don’t really want to sell at all.

Life changed, and this is simply what needs to happen next.

Tell me that too.

Because six weeks from now, if your house hasn’t sold and you call me saying, “Leigh, what do we do?” I need to remember what we were trying to accomplish in the first place.

Maybe protecting every dollar of your equity is still the priority.

Maybe something has changed.

Maybe the house you want became available. Maybe you’re carrying two mortgages. Maybe your daughter called and said, “Mom, I really want you here before the baby comes.”

Okay. Then we need to talk again.

Not necessarily about dropping the price.

About you.

What matters now? What are buyers telling us? What has changed since we started? What choices do we have—and which one gets you closer to where you're trying to go?

Sometimes I'll tell you we need to move.

Sometimes I'll tell you not to touch the price.

And sometimes you're going to disagree with me.

That's okay. We'll talk about that too.

Because it’s your house. Your equity. Your move.

And ultimately, it’s your life we’re trying to get to on the other side of the closing table.

So if selling has started crossing your mind, I have a question for you:

What’s waiting for you on the other side of your house?

If you know the answer, maybe that's where our conversation should start.

Open-concept living sounded fantastic in June.

Then September arrived with backpacks, lunchboxes, missing shoes, unsigned permission slips and one child yelling, “I CAN’T FIND IT!” without explaining what “it” is.

Suddenly, walls are beautiful. Doors are luxurious. And a mudroom with individual cubbies feels like a legitimate reason to make an offer. 😂

Back-to-school season has a funny way of revealing whether your home actually works for your family.

For Boise and Meridian home buyers with children, the most useful features often aren’t the flashy ones. They’re the things that make an ordinary Tuesday morning less chaotic:

🏠 A functional mudroom or drop zone
🎒 Enough storage for backpacks, shoes and sports gear
🥨 A pantry that can survive school-snack season
🧺 A conveniently located laundry room
🚗 A floor plan that supports everyone’s routines
📍 Practical access to schools, work and daily activities

The best family home in the Treasure Valley isn’t necessarily the biggest or newest. It’s the one that makes real life easier—especially at 7:14 a.m. when the bus is coming and somebody has misplaced their other shoe.

Has back-to-school season exposed anything your current house is missing?

If your floor plan is officially working against you, let’s talk about what would actually work better.

09/22/2026

Your house hasn’t sold yet. Does that mean you need a price reduction?

Maybe.

But maybe not.

One of the biggest mistakes Boise-area sellers can make is treating price as the automatic answer every time a home doesn’t sell immediately.

Because different buyer behavior tells us different things.

No showings? We need to understand why buyers aren’t even coming through the door.

Plenty of showings but no offers? Now we have traffic — but something isn’t converting.

Second showings, positive feedback, but buyers keep choosing another home? That’s another clue entirely.

Strong activity, good feedback and no offer after five days?

For heaven’s sake, everybody calm down. 😂

Sometimes the smartest real estate strategy is to do absolutely nothing.

Selling a home in Boise, Meridian or the Treasure Valley isn’t about reacting to every quiet day with a price reduction.

It’s about knowing what buyer activity is telling us before we decide what to change.

Price may be the problem.

But first, we diagnose.

Then we strategize.

Last night, we celebrated more than the end of summer. We officially introduced BBRE360—the next chapter of Boise’s Best Real Estate Team.

BBRE360 represents the full-circle real estate experience we believe every client deserves: honest advice, thoughtful strategy, exceptional marketing, clear communication and support that continues long after the closing table.

The name and logo may be new, but what matters most has not changed. We remain committed to helping buyers and sellers throughout Boise, Meridian and the Treasure Valley make confident real estate decisions—and to giving back to the community that has supported us.

That is why our BBRE Summer Wrap Party included a silent auction benefiting the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, an organization that assists wildland firefighters and their families when they need it most.

We are incredibly grateful to every guest who joined us, every local business that donated to the auction and everyone who placed a bid in support of this important mission. You helped make the evening meaningful.

Same people. Same commitment. Bigger vision.

Welcome to BBRE360.
