For the past few years, the Boise and Treasure Valley housing market  operated at a pace that felt almost unsustainable. Homes would come on the market and immediately attract multiple offers. Buyers were often forced to make major financial decisions within hours, sometimes waiving inspections and other protections just to remain competitive. That environment rewarded speed.

Student loan debt is crushing flexibility. Many degree-holders are under-employed. Entire white-collar industries are being reshaped by artificial intelligence. At the same time, the U.S. housing market is facing a massive shortage not just of homes, but of people who know how to bu
