Market reads, builder spotlights, and buyer guides for first-time, FHA, out-of-state, and investor buyers in Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, and Nampa. No fluff, no scripts. Just signal.
35 homes. 5 cities. 16 days. The biggest on-the-ground signal of the new construction market you'll get all year, and how to walk it like a buyer instead of a tourist.
A satellite post each day of the Spring Parade. Routes, builder spotlights, price tier breakdowns, design trends, and an investor's read on what the 2026 new construction market is signaling.
The scorecard methodology. Score every home on six categories. Why your gut ranking and your scorecard ranking will disagree, and why that's useful.
7 homes, roughly 3 hours. The route for buyers in the $400K to $700K range, starting in Kuna and moving north into Meridian.
10 homes, 3.5 to 4 hours. The higher-end corridor for buyers above $700K. Tresidio and Brighton anchor the Eagle Parade presence.
CBH builds three times as many homes per year as Tresidio. Why that doesn't always make CBH the better buyer choice.
