How to find homes for sale in Boise in 2023

When you start a home search there are ten things to consider in your search criteria

  1. Define what the right location for your lifestyle truly is.
    Do you need to be closer to school, work, your favorite section of Boise River, or daycare? Defining an area will help you save time communicating and maximize time enjoying life.
  2. Select the right floor plan or style.
    Determine how many bedrooms you need and how the house lays out. Options range include single level, two story to a bonus room.
  3. How many square feet will you need?
    Size matters and costs money so determine how much you need now and possibly for the foreseeable future.
  4. Which finishes and amenities do you prefer?
    What upgrades and unique features need to be included with the house?
  5. Is it a clean community?
    Do neighbors take care of their property? Many people want an HOA to protect the value of their homes.
  6. Is it a safe place to call home?
    Check with neighbors if they are comfortable at night or walking in the neighborhood.
  7. How large is the yard?
    Do throw a baseball in the backyard or want low maintenance? Will you park an RV or need a shed to store items?
  8. What about energy efficiency?
    Not all homes are created equal, check monthly utility bills
  9. Do you enjoy outdoor living?
    Is the patio space the right size for your family and entertaining?
  10. Will you be proud to live there?
    When buyers say, "We can make it work," that may mean it is not the right house.

Boise remains a popular destination for those from the west & northwest coast.  Therefore; the Boise real estate market remains healthy. When you find a house for sale you love, make a solid offer so you are not letting another party sneak in with a better offer! Many buyers do not win the first house but don't get frustrated and quit. Homeownership is an important step in building wealth.

Why are homes prices so expensive in Boise?

Boise continues to rank higher than 90% of the country for job and high-tech GDP growth and reported some of the lowest unemployment and property crime rates for the metro areas. Those promising statistics along with the city’s population boom over the last couple of decades make it easy to see why Boise is in the top 1% of the country for 1-year home appreciation. Boise home values are expected to continue to rise though there are always seasonal dips in the market. 

One factor also to consider- The crazier the world gets, the better Boise looks as a place to live, work and play!

Where are the best places to live in Boise?

Finding a great place to call home depends on your lifestyle preferences. Do you want to live near the Foothills, Boise River, out in the desert, or in the suburbs? There are many reasons people move to Boise but living closer to what people love most is a common criterion for preferred locations.
