Key Takeaways:
Our three key takeaways are:
Homebuyers don’t seem to favor one specific area
The list isn't concentrated on one city or even one part of any given city. The top 10 most valuable subdivisions are in Boise, Emmett, Meridian, Eagle, and Caldwell. If location isn't as much of a factor, what are buyers looking for?
Generally, new construction does the best
New subdivisions sat toward the top of the list. New homes offer modern styling, architecture, and finishes, plus have less maintenance. These are all attractive to buyers. As such, buyers are willing to pay more for newer and better home features.
While new construction tends to be valued higher because market prices have already risen to a certain level, having increased demand for new homes drives up demand. However, existing subdivisions reigned supreme in the third takeaway.
Lifestyle
Okay, maybe location is a factor, but not city-specific location in this sense. The subdivisions that topped the list with the highest year-over-year appreciation catered largely to existing subdivisions that offer active lifestyle amenities. Living in the Boise Foothills, having schools in or near the subdivision, multiple parks throughout, sport courts, playgrounds, and integrated walking paths all support a safer and healthier living.
