Affordability
The monthly payment on a median-priced Idaho home
$3,217 a month
Principal and interest on $589,999, 20% down, 30-year fixed at 7.24%. A year earlier, the same math came to $2,846: $371 a month more now. On the U.S. median listing it is $2,263.
Taxes, insurance, HOA dues and mortgage insurance are extra; in Idaho they can change the real monthly cost a lot from one county to the next. A Total Cost of Ownership report adds them for a specific home.
Local knowledge
What's different about buying and selling in Idaho
A big homeowner's exemption buyers must apply for, and sale prices that aren't public. What Idaho clients should know.
Homeowner's exemption: half the value, up to $125,000
A primary residence can exempt 50% of the value of the home and up to an acre, capped at $125,000. The exemption doesn't pass to a buyer: the new owner applies through the county assessor.
Sale prices aren't public
Idaho doesn't require buyers or sellers to report sale prices, so public records rarely show what homes sold for and MLS data is the main source for comps (as reported by the Idaho Capital Sun).
Flat income tax: 5.3%
Idaho's income tax is a flat 5.3% (cut from 5.695% for 2025), and the 2026 withholding tables still use 5.3%.
