Empty downtown Boise Idaho street with foothills, no people

Most Boise listings still get sold as a generic valley city stay, or worse, as a blended Meridian year. Guests who typed Boise are looking for the North End, the Greenbelt, and a real city night. They are not looking for a suburb caption. 1,268 active listings sit on this city extract. Write the stay you can actually host.

The three strongest city months are June, August, and May. June is the busiest. January is the slowest. Occupancy is weakest in July. Most guests arrive from Boise, then Portland. Stay is 6.6 nights, booked about 42 days ahead. Call the Boise City Clerk at 208-972-8150. 150 N Capitol Blvd. On May 12, 2026 City Council repealed the city's STR ordinance to align with Idaho HB 583. Effective May 18, 2026 a City of Boise short-term rental license is no longer required. The city still enforces nuisance, noise, parking, safety, and occupancy rules. Confirm 2026. Do not invent an $80 license as a current requirement. AirROI's low-regulation label is a scrape of listings, not the town file. Write the city or the satellite the guest typed. Keep $25,127 on 1,268 city listings on its own line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What did a typical Boise short-term rental earn last year?

About $25,127 over the trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026, based on AirROI data across 1,268 active listings. Average nightly rate was $195 with 47.8 percent occupancy and $94 revenue per available night. Revenue was essentially flat year-over-year at minus 0.3 percent, while active supply grew 10.3 percent — worth flagging to anyone pricing off last year's numbers alone.

How does Meridian compare to Boise for short-term rental revenue?

Meridian listings earned about $30,204 last year across 340 active rentals, a higher per-listing figure than Boise's $25,127 across 1,268 listings — but the two are separate markets with separate calendars and shouldn't be blended into one Treasure Valley average. A Hyde Park driveway is not a Meridian lot, and pricing one as the other misreads both markets.

What about Eagle — is it part of the Boise number?

No. Eagle listings earned about $29,256 last year across 97 active rentals, a distinct figure from Boise's citywide $25,127. Eagle is its own city with its own guest draw, and this research keeps its year on a separate line rather than folding it into the Boise or Meridian totals.

When is Boise's short-term rental market strongest?

June is the busiest month, with August and May also running strong. January is the slowest revenue month, and occupancy specifically runs weakest in July. That seasonal pattern reflects Boise's own downtown and North End demand rather than a valley-wide curve, so treat Meridian's and Eagle's calendars separately.

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

As of May 18, 2026, a City of Boise short-term rental license is no longer required, following a City Council repeal on May 12, 2026 that aligned the city with Idaho HB 583. Nuisance, noise, parking, safety, and occupancy rules still apply. Call the City Clerk at 208-972-8150 to confirm current status rather than relying on a listing site's regulation summary.

Who books a stay in downtown Boise versus the North End?

Most guests arrive from within Boise itself, then Portland, staying an average of 6.6 nights booked about 42 days ahead. Downtown and North End weeks are genuine visitor demand, but that demand should be read as a marketing signal, not treated as an occupancy figure in itself — the 47.8 percent occupancy number is what actually prices the calendar.

Should I hire a property manager for a Boise, Meridian, or Eagle listing?

Professionally managed share in Boise is 20.5 percent, with the largest manager, Habitue, holding 30 listings; Superhost share citywide is 72.1 percent. Meridian and Eagle each warrant their own separate evaluation rather than one blended management pitch, since the three markets don't share a manager mix or a guest profile.

Is a 30-night minimum stay proof that Boise's market runs full?

No. About 383 of Boise's 1,268 active listings — 30.2 percent — have set a 30-night minimum, which is a host-chosen policy, not an occupancy measurement. Boise's actual occupancy is 47.8 percent and average stay is 6.6 nights. Don't mistake a long minimum-stay setting for strong booking pace.

What should a buyer packet cite for a Treasure Valley acquisition?

File three separate lines: Boise at $25,127 on 1,268 listings, Meridian at $30,204 on 340 listings, and Eagle at $29,256 on 97 listings, each with its own AirROI year. Note Boise's 10.3 percent supply growth and roughly flat year-over-year revenue, and confirm current city code by calling 208-972-8150 rather than assuming a shared valley figure.

Can I use Boise's downtown ADR to price a Meridian listing?

No. Boise's average nightly rate is $195 across 1,268 listings, distinct from Meridian's own extract at $30,204 across 340 listings. Keep the $195 city ADR off both satellite markets, and confirm each city's own current-year figures separately rather than assuming a shared Treasure Valley rate.

Work with Crest & Cove Creative

If a packet still files the North End and a Meridian driveway as one year, send the addresses.
