Buy Now or Wait? The Truth About Boise’s Market “Crash” and Tariffs

What the Headlines Aren’t Telling You—and What You Should Actually Do Right Now


Is Boise’s real estate market crashing?

With all the noise about tariffs, inflation, and economic uncertainty, it’s a fair question. If you’ve been wondering whether to buy now or wait it out, you’re not alone.

In my latest YouTube video, I break it all down—no hype, no fear tactics—just facts about what’s really happening here in Boise, and what these national headlines actually mean for local buyers and sellers.

But let’s unpack some of it right here:


?? Tariffs Are Back—But What Does That Mean for Housing?

With tariffs on foreign goods (like steel, aluminum, and electronics) returning to the spotlight, we’re already seeing pressure on construction costs and supply chains.

Translation? New builds may get pricier. Renovations may slow down. And that could squeeze inventory even more, especially in high-demand areas like the Treasure Valley.


?? Market Crash? More Like a Correction

Despite what the word “crash” suggests, Boise isn’t falling off a cliff. What we’re experiencing is more of a market correction—a necessary cooling from the pandemic-fueled price surge.

Prices have leveled off. Buyers have more breathing room. And sellers? The serious ones are still selling—with realistic pricing and solid strategy.


?? Buy Now or Wait? Here’s the Real Answer…

If you’re waiting for the “perfect time” to buy, you may be waiting forever.

? Rates can be refinanced.
? Tariff-driven costs may only go up.
? Boise’s long-term growth isn’t slowing down.

Buy now if:

  • You’re financially ready.

  • You find the right home that fits your needs.

  • You want to lock in today’s prices before demand heats up again.

Wait if:

  • You’re stretched too thin.

  • You’re not sure about your job, income, or future plans.

  • You want more flexibility and aren’t in a rush.


Bottom line: There’s no “one size fits all” advice. But sitting still out of fear isn’t a strategy either.

?? Want a clear, custom plan based on YOUR goals and situation?
Let’s talk. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or seasoned homeowner, I’ll help you figure out the smartest move—no pressure, just perspective.
