Pricing

What new construction actually costs.

A working overview of new construction pricing in Ada and Canyon County, by category. Detailed city-by-city pricing pages are in development and will be added as the data is verified.

Pricing in new construction moves with the market, with builder phase release schedules, with lot premium structures, and with design studio selections. Any single number quoted at a moment in time is approximate. The ranges below reflect the Treasure Valley market in May 2026 and are intended as orientation, not as commitments by any specific builder.

By Category

Price Per Square Foot — 2026 Ranges

Category Price Per Square Foot Typical Total (2,000–2,800 sq ft)
Production $200 – $260 $400K – $730K
Semi-Custom $260 – $340 $520K – $950K
Custom $340 – $500+ $680K – $1.4M+

These are base ranges. Lot premiums, design studio upgrades, and structural options can add 10 to 30 percent to the base price. For detail on what each category includes and what drives the difference between them, the underlying article is the right next stop.

Coming Soon

Dedicated pricing pages by city — Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Kuna, Caldwell, Nampa — are in development. Each will include published builder pricing, recent reported sale prices for comparable new construction, and the per-square-foot ranges that actually apply in that market. Pricing data shifts with the market, so these pages will be refreshed on a quarterly cadence rather than published once and forgotten.

Before You Look at Prices

The headline price on a new construction home rarely reflects the all-in cost. Design studio upgrades, lot premiums, change orders during construction, and builder incentive structures all affect the final number. The two articles below are the right context for reading any price quote.
