A working notebook on Treasure Valley real estate: Boise, Meridian, Kuna, Eagle, Nampa. Written for investors, out-of-state buyers, and locals, by a Stanford urbanist and working Kuna landlord. Three columns: a monthly Investor Brief, occasional Urbanism Notes, and Personal entries from the field. 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.
Deep guides for buyers thinking through Boise versus another Treasure Valley city, evaluating builders, or planning an out-of-state move with real numbers attached.
A side-by-side breakdown of the three builders dominating the Treasure Valley. Pricing, communities, build quality, and where each one fits a different buyer profile.
Tax structure, growth corridors, and the long-term thesis. Built for buyers comparing Idaho against California, Washington, Oregon, Texas, and Arizona.
From pre-approval to closing. New construction quirks, FHA mechanics, and the negotiation points most buyers miss when they tour without an agent.
Kuna is the most affordable new-construction market in the Treasure Valley. Who actually fits here, what the trade-offs are, and how to read a Kuna subdivision in 2026.
What the cost-of-living math actually looks like, what California buyers consistently get wrong about the Boise market, and the timing decisions that make or break the move.
No pressure, no scripts, no auto-drip email sequences. Just a real read on whether the Treasure Valley fits what you're solving for.
