Idaho Real Estate Market Analysis
The Idaho housing market offers investors and homebuyers a diverse range of opportunities across metro areas, counties, and communities at every price point. The PropertyIQ Score rates every market in Idaho by combining Zillow price momentum over 3 and 12 months with Realtor.com market-flow signals — how fast homes sell and how often sellers cut prices — to show how each market is positioned to outperform or lag the state over the next three years.
Idaho became one of the nation's top appreciation markets during the pandemic as California and Washington buyers discovered its relative affordability and outdoor lifestyle. Boise transformed from a regional market to a nationally recognized tech hub, while smaller markets like Coeur d'Alene saw speculative demand. PropertyIQ tracks whether Idaho markets are experiencing sustainable demand from employed residents or speculative buyers whose exit could create price corrections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many housing markets does PropertyIQ track in Idaho?
PropertyIQ currently tracks 13 metro areas and 44 counties in Idaho, each with its own PropertyIQ Score, home value trend, and days on market reading, refreshed monthly.
What does a PropertyIQ Score of 50 mean for a Idaho market?
A score of 50 marks Idaho's own state average demand momentum. PropertyIQ computes scores nationally across every US market, then calibrates the scale so a Idaho market is read against Idaho's own typical momentum rather than the national average. A market scoring above 50 is positioned to outperform the Idaho average over the next three years, while one below 50 is positioned to lag it.
Where can I find ZIP code level housing data for Idaho?
Every metro area and county listed on this page links through to its own ZIP codes, and each ZIP has its own market page with home value, rent, and days on market data. Start from a Idaho metro or county below, then drill into ZIP codes for the most localized data available.
What data sources does PropertyIQ use for Idaho market data, and how often is it updated?
PropertyIQ ingests fresh data every month from Zillow home values, Realtor.com days on market and price cut activity, Redfin, the US Census Bureau, FRED, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Every metro, county, and ZIP page for Idaho shows a last updated date, and PropertyIQ Scores are recomputed monthly once that new source data lands.
