Homebuyer Report

The Homebuyer Report  identifies the reasons for population growth in the Treasure Valley. The report is the result of a survey of over 800 recent homebuyers in the area and highlights criteria for housing preferences. The report reviews trends in migration patterns and the affect of that migration on transportation by looking at the willingness of  homebuyers to commute, to live close to work, and  to use public transportation. Data from the survey will be also used for population forecasts. To review the Homebuyer Report, click here (6MB).
