**A decade at Bitterbrush. Seven hours to sell. A fresh start ahead. 🏡**

After more than 10 years in their Boise home, my sellers were ready for their next chapter—and a move to California.

They did a fantastic job decluttering, which allowed me to bring in staging and get the home photo-ready. From there, we focused on presentation, positioning, and creating a selling process that worked around *their* needs.

The result?

**An asking-price, all-cash offer with seller-preferred terms—accepted after just 7 hours on the market.**

But a successful sale isn't only about the offer. I customized showing instructions around my sellers' needs, worked with their preparation timeline, and even arranged a mobile notary so they could sign their closing documents without leaving home.

Because selling a home can be stressful—even when everything goes right.

My job is to make the strategy strong and the experience as easy as possible.

**Thinking about selling a home in Boise or the Treasure Valley? I'd be happy to help you build a plan for what comes next.**

The U.S. Department of Energy has selected Idaho as a finalist for new nuclear energy innovation campuses.
The broader initiative could eventually support 25,000 jobs, attract $50 billion in private investment, and generate $10 billion in local tax revenue.
There are still a lot of unknowns, including how many campuses will actually be built and where they would be located.
So no, this isn’t a reason to suddenly buy a house based on one announcement.
But projects capable of bringing substantial employment, infrastructure, and investment into a region are absolutely worth watching from a long-term real estate perspective.

The median ranch listing price reached approximately $769,750, an increase of 112%.
And Idaho is especially prominent in this part of the market, with Jackson, Hailey, Idaho Falls, and Blaine County all showing up among the country’s most expensive ranch areas.
Obviously, a multimillion-dollar ranch doesn’t tell us what a typical home in Meridian is worth.
But it does illustrate a broader trend I think is worth watching:
Land, privacy, recreation, and lifestyle continue to carry a significant premium in Idaho and across the Mountain West.

Higher oil prices are contributing to renewed inflation pressure, which has shifted expectations around what the Federal Reserve may do next.
One important reminder: the Fed does not directly set mortgage rates. Mortgage rates respond to the broader bond market, inflation expectations, and expected Fed policy.
For buyers, I think the lesson is less about trying to predict exactly where rates will be three months from now and more about understanding what comfortably works today.
If rates improve later, refinancing may become an option.
But I wouldn’t make a home purchase depend on that happening.
And despite elevated rates, Ada County pending sales are still up about 17% from last year.
People are still moving. They’re simply having to approach the numbers more strategically.

Foreclosures are rising—and Idaho had one number that deserves some context.
Among states with at least 500 foreclosure filings during the first half of 2026, Idaho experienced the largest year-over-year increase: 59%.
That sounds dramatic. But it does not mean Idaho is suddenly experiencing another 2008.
Foreclosure activity remains far below housing-crisis levels, and some of the increase represents a return toward more typical levels following pandemic-era protections.
That said, increasing financial pressure on homeowners is something worth watching as housing costs and borrowing rates remain elevated.
The number matters. So does the context around it.

The latest Ada County housing numbers are a good reminder that headlines don't always tell the whole story.

In May:

• Median home price: $575,900 (-0.7% YoY)
• Homes sold: 1,001 (+18.5% YoY)
• Inventory: 1,833 homes (-13.6% YoY)

The most interesting takeaway? Buyer activity increased significantly while prices remained relatively stable.

A lot of people assume higher mortgage rates would cause buyers to disappear. That's not what I'm seeing on the ground. Many buyers are still actively searching—they're simply being more selective.

In fact, one of the most common conversations I'm having right now is with buyers who are ready to purchase but waiting for the *right* home. The result is a market where some properties sit, while others receive strong interest almost immediately.

Another factor worth watching is housing supply. New construction continues to face rising costs and labor shortages, making it difficult to dramatically increase inventory.

The bigger lesson is that there isn't one "Boise market."

A home in the North End behaves differently than a home in Kuna. A luxury property in Eagle behaves differently than an entry-level home in Meridian. Even within the same neighborhood, pricing strategy and presentation can create very different outcomes.

The Boise market feels increasingly normal compared to the last few years. We're no longer seeing the frenzy of the pandemic era, but we're also not seeing evidence of a major correction.

Instead, we're seeing a market driven by real-life decisions: relocations, growing families, downsizing, career changes, and lifestyle goals.

That's what healthy markets tend to look like.

What are you seeing in your industry right now that looks different from the headlines?

Boise’s growth story isn’t slowing down—and some of the biggest signals aren’t even housing stats.
Meridian just announced a major mixed-use expansion at EagleView Landing that includes:
🏢 a 125,000 sq ft corporate campus
🏥 a 7-acre medical campus
🏢 a 3-story medical office building
🎶 and a concert venue
At the same time, CWI is expanding workforce education tied to Micron corridor growth with a new 100,000 sq ft academic building focused on:
• cybersecurity
• IT
• business
• adult education
• workforce training
And honestly? This matters more than people realize.
Because long-term housing demand doesn’t just come from low rates.
It comes from:
✔️ jobs
✔️ infrastructure
✔️ education
✔️ economic confidence
✔️ population growth
You typically don’t see this level of commercial and infrastructure investment happening in markets people think are collapsing.
The Boise market right now feels less like a crash market and more like a market trying to normalize while still dealing with:
• affordability pressure
• higher rates
• and major regional growth

05/31/2026

Idaho just passed TWO major housing laws that could completely reshape development across the Treasure Valley.
And honestly? This is one of the biggest long-term housing shifts we’ve seen in a while.
The new laws apply to cities over 10,000 population, including:
đź“Ť Boise
đź“Ť Meridian
đź“Ť Eagle
đź“Ť Kuna
đź“Ť Nampa
đź“Ť Caldwell
One law makes it harder for cities to block higher-density starter-home developments.
The other prevents cities and HOAs from banning ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) like:
• backyard cottages
• guest houses
• garage apartments
• mother-in-law suites
Translation?
Idaho is clearly moving toward:
✔️ more housing flexibility
✔️ more infill development
✔️ more multigenerational living
✔️ more attempts to increase housing supply
This could have a major impact on future development, affordability, and how people use residential property in the Treasure Valley over the next several years.
Boise’s housing landscape is changing faster than many people realize.
