Frequently Asked Questions

When does Boise's short-term rental market peak?

June is the busiest revenue month on the current extract, with August and May rounding out the three strongest months. January is the slowest month for revenue, and occupancy specifically runs weakest in July even though it isn't the revenue floor. Price June like a peak and January like a hole, and don't assume July's soft occupancy means the whole summer is slow.

Is July Boise's slow season?

Not on revenue — July is where occupancy runs weakest, but January is still the city's actual revenue hole. Treating July as a filled summer month, or as the slow season, misreads the extract. Keep the two data points separate: July's occupancy dip and January's revenue floor are different signals and call for different pricing responses.

How much did a typical Boise listing earn last year?

About $25,127 over the trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026, across 1,268 active rentals. Average nightly rate was $195, occupancy 47.8 percent, and revenue per available night $94. Revenue was down slightly year-over-year at minus 0.3 percent while active supply grew 10.3 percent.

Do I need a short-term rental license in Boise for 2026?

As of May 18, 2026, a City of Boise short-term rental license is no longer required — City Council repealed the ordinance on May 12, 2026 to align with Idaho HB 583. The city still enforces nuisance, noise, parking, safety, and occupancy rules, so don't treat the repeal as a blank check. Call the City Clerk at 208-972-8150 to confirm current status before you advertise.

Does a 42-day booking lead time mean January books up too?

No. The 42-day average lead time is a booking window that applies market-wide, not proof that the slow season fills in. January remains the revenue hole on this extract regardless of how far ahead guests typically book. Price your shoulder and off-season months on their own merits rather than assuming lead time smooths out seasonality.

Is a 30-night minimum stay the same as strong occupancy?

No. About 383 of Boise's 1,268 active listings — 30.2 percent — have set a 30-night minimum, which is a host policy choice, not an occupancy figure. Market-wide occupancy is still 47.8 percent and average stay length is 6.6 nights. Don't read a long minimum-stay setting as evidence the calendar is actually full.

Should I price a named festival weekend as a filled month?

No — a named weekend or campus event is a demand signal, not proof of occupancy for the surrounding month. Confirm actual 2026 festival and campus dates before pricing around them, and don't assume one strong weekend carries the whole month's average. Treat named-demand weeks and baseline monthly pricing as two separate calculations.

Who books a Boise short-term rental during peak season?

Most guests arrive from within Boise itself, followed by Portland, with an average stay of 6.6 nights booked about 42 days ahead. That guest profile is built around downtown and North End access during the June peak — different demand than a satellite suburb might draw, so keep your peak-season pricing and marketing tied to the city's own guest pattern.

Can I apply Boise's June-peak pricing to a Meridian or Eagle listing?

No. Meridian and Eagle run their own separate calendars and their own AirROI years, and pasting Boise's shoulder-season pattern onto a satellite listing risks mispricing both the peak and the slow months. Confirm each market's own seasonal curve rather than assuming the Treasure Valley moves as one block.

What should a buyer packet cite for Boise's seasonal pattern?

Cite June, August, and May as the three strongest revenue months, January as the slowest, and July as the weakest occupancy month specifically — noting these are distinct signals. Pair that with the $25,127 revenue figure on 1,268 listings, 10.3 percent supply growth, and the May 2026 license repeal, confirmed directly with the City Clerk at 208-972-8150.
