However, there are 1600 lots that are approved awaiting a final plat; these lots are found mainly in 3 projects: Dry Creek Ranch, Dry Creek Ranch Village and Neville Ranch. Building permits are down from this time last year and the recording of Dry Creek Ranch Subdivision No. 8 and Dry Creek Ranch Village No. 2 contributed the most to recorded lots in January.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Kuna
In Kuna, land development submittals and lot recordings continued to decline in January 2023 as did the demand for new building lots.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Garden City
Garden City’s Development Services Department is temporarily suspending pre-applications due to work volume and staff shortages. Therefore, we should see the inventory of entitlement lots slowly drop if Garden City can continue to approve existing projects already in the development process. There hasn’t been a newly recorded subdivision since September. The spike in new building permits in January 2023 fall primarily on a 6.5 acre, infill parcel within Steins Subdivision that will contain a mix of single family and apartment lots.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Boise
Demand for new homes in Boise grew at the tail end of 2022 and building permits declined as we’ve seen throughout the Treasure Valley. With 171 newly recorded residential lots in January, will Boise’s vacant lot inventory continue to grow and will there be a rise in permits in the coming months, or will builders continue to hold back? Entitlement lots dropped due to diminished demand for new land and the inventory of approved preliminary plat lots grew as construction slowed down.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Middleton
Land development submittals and lot recordings decreased in Middleton as the demand for new building lots weakened. The increased inventory of approved lots was primarily due to the preliminary plat approval of 641 lot, Quarry East Subdivision in August. Vacant lots dropped slightly in January after slowly increasing at the end of 2022. Building permits dropped to an average of 5 per month but the sale of new homes in Middleton remained constant at close to 15 per month.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Star
landproDATA reveals Star’s inventory of entitlement and approved preliminary plat lots fell throughout the second half of 2022. Vacant lots grew as builders pulled half as many permits this January than January 2022 and new home sales dropped off as well. Despite seasonal ups and downs, Star continued to record new subdivisions throughout 2022 and in January 2023.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Caldwell
Caldwell’s inventory of entitlement and approved preliminary plat lots trended upward while building permits and new home transfers declined throughout 2022 as we’ve seen throughout Canyon County. Vacant lots and final plat lots remained constant. However, when comparing January 2023 to January 2022 we show a steep decline in recorded lots and newly issued building permits while new home transfers fell, but at a much slower rate.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Eagle
New home sales continued to decline in Eagle and landproDATA shows builders pulled back on building permits in the second half of last year. Lot recordings trended slightly downward despite seasonal highs. Entitlement lots remained constant at the end of 2022 with the majority in these three subdivisions: Torrente Secco, Cascade Springs and Spring Valley.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Meridian
Entitlement lots in Meridian have plunged with the recent slowdown in land development but Meridian continued to approve the preliminary plats that were in the pipeline. Inventory of vacant lots continued to climb as newly issued building permits fell. Final plat lots dropped off slowly and the number of newly recorded subdivision lots remained steady despite seasonal ups and downs. Meridian, however, did show a steep decline in new home transfers whereas, earlier we reported Nampa’s new home sales only slightly declined.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Nampa
The trend in Nampa for 2022 was largely as we have seen in the rest of the Treasure Valley. As new home sales decreased in the second half of the year, builders pulled back on building permits. The net effect is that vacant lots grew, but not as much as might have been expected given the decrease in new home sales. Land development submittals and lot recordings slowed down as well as the demand for new building lots waned. Overall, the land development/home building market has maintained stability, although at a slightly lower pace.
CONTINUE READING >Development Summary by Engineering Firm
landproDATA recently reported residential subdivision development summaries by Builder & Developer and Lead Agency in the Treasure Valley. This report presents the data by Engineering Firm. In Ada County, Bailey Engineering, KM Engineering, J-U-B Engineers, and Centurion Engineers lead the field in both entitlement and approved Lots. In Canyon County, Bailey, T-O, J-U-B, KM, Mason & Associates, CK Engineering and Breckon Land Design are responsible for over 75% of the lots in the entitlement process. Final plats in progress seem to be spread more evenly across both counties. The pace of final plats suggests that development is still trying to keep up with lot demand, even with the current slower pace of home sales.
CONTINUE READING >Development Summary by City in Ada and Canyon Counties
Kuna has over one third of Ada County lots in the preliminary and final plat stages, followed by Meridian, Eagle and Star. Meridian, however, has about 40% of the total vacant lots with 2414 awaiting a building permit and 528 lots that may be under construction or completed, but have not yet been sold. Canyon County has 10,000 fewer lots than Ada County in the preliminary and final plat stages with Caldwell and Nampa holding the lion’s share.

Trends of lots which are in the entitlement process, approved and in the final plat process (see Development Definitions) seem to be flat, but an analysis of the city specific data shows that over 50% of the entitlement lots are in Kuna and another 25% are in Eagle. The variations in the pace of development are not consistent throughout Ada County.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Ada County Unincorporated

CONTINUE READING >Development Summary In Canyon County
Canyon County's recorded lots, building permits and new home transfers are, on average, less than Ada County, however, inventory of approved lots is significantly higher. The entitlement lot inventory has more than doubled since the beginning of last year with vacant lot inventory decreasing slightly since September of last year.
CONTINUE READING >Development Summary In Ada County
According to landproDATA, Ada County’s inventory of entitlement lots grew throughout the year resulting in twice as many lots currently in this phase awaiting approval. Approved lots have stayed consistent in the same period while recorded lots varied greatly by month. Most notably, building permits decreased slightly since last year.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Canyon County
Unlike Ada County, Canyon County’s inventory of entitlement lots grew considerably since last year and lots in the final plat phase are also on the rise. According to the The Canyon County Comprehensive Plan, between 2020 and 2030 the population change is expected to increase by approximately 26,000. With that, we should expect to see building permits and new lots recorded to trend similarly to the last few years of high growth times provided no other economic factors play a role.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Ada County
Over the past year and a half, Ada County’s number of lots recorded and building permits issued have remained steady with seasonal highs in Q1 as well as in May. Based solely on 2021 stats, we might expect more new lots recorded in Q4 followed by a spike in permits issued yet decreasing ever so slightly through the remainder of this year. Inventory of entitlement, approved preliminary plat and final plat lots also remain unvarying in Ada County.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Garden City
Development in Garden City remains steady and on pace with 2021. If the trend continues through the second half of 2022, Garden City will record about the same number of new residential lots as last year, issue a similar number of building permits and transfer about 50-60 new homes to buyers this year.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Boise
In Boise, construction permits and subdivision lots recorded have steadily declined since Q1 of 2021. However, inventory of vacant lots show a slight increase as do entitlements and Boise continues to approve projects in the preliminary plat stage at the same rate as last year. Like we’ve seen across Ada County, new home transfers and building permits are trending together.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Kuna
The development process continues to be consistent in Kuna with a positive trend in entitlements. Lots recorded vary significantly by month and seem to have little effect on building permits or new home transfers. Note that Kuna has the highest number of approved lots in the Treasure Valley.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Star
landproDATA shows entitlements are down significantly in Star, however, projects that were in the works are continuing to be pushed through the development process as shown by increases in approved preliminary plats and submitted final plats. While new lots are being recorded at a slightly higher pace than last year’s, inventory of vacant lots has declined. Building permits and new home transfers are trending together as we’ve seen across Ada County and reported in previous State of Development Reports found on landproDATA.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Middleton
While there were fewer entitlements in Middleton in the first half of 2022 compared to 2021, landproDATA shows an increase in both approved preliminary plats and submitted final plats. Notably, the increase in developments seems to leave building permits and new home transfers fairly unaffected. Our data indicates that development in Middleton appears to be stabilizing after a period of high development.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Caldwell
According to landproDATA, Caldwell recorded significantly more lots in the first half of this year compared to year-to-date 2021. Even so, Caldwell’s inventory of vacant lots is down. Entitlements (submitted developments) have increased steadily since January, however Approved pre-plats and Final plat submittals have not seen a corresponding increase. New residential permits and new home transfers are trending together at close to last year’s numbers.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Nampa
Our recent data analysis of Nampa shows that Lots Recorded have been holding steady while the number of Building Permits and New Home Transfers have fallen compared to same time last year. Although Nampa’s inventory of Vacant Lots has dropped, approvals of new pre-plats and final plat submittals are on the rise.
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Meridian
In Meridian, recorded lots continue to follow seasonal fluctuations, however, building permits and new home sales have relaxed during the last quarter. Due to the slowing of permits issued, vacant lots have increased since January. Even though Meridian has seen significant increases in subdivision submittals over the last year, very few have been approved. As shown below, approved developments continue to trend consistent with this time last year.

As the Real Estate Market responds to Inflation and Mortgage Interest Rate Hikes, landproDATA is analyzing the state of land development.
CONTINUE READING >Residential Analysis Within Ada and Canyon Counties
landproDATA has been tracking land development trends since 2014. As we notice building permit activity decreasing over the last year, we ask, is this due to the slowing in demand for new housing or are there other factors at work?
CONTINUE READING >Subdivision Development In Nampa
The trend in Nampa for 2022 was largely as we have seen in the rest of the Treasure Valley. As new home sales decreased in the second half of the year, builders pulled back on building permits. The net effect is that vacant lots grew, but not as much as might have been expected given the decrease in new home sales. Land development submittals and lot recordings slowed down as well as the demand for new building lots waned. Overall, the land development/home building market has maintained stability, although at a slightly lower pace.
