What Can $1 Million Buy in Eagle, Idaho? A Complete Homebuying Guide for 2025

Dreaming of Eagle, Idaho? Here's What $900K to $1.1M Gets You

Eagle, Idaho is one of the most sought-after locations in the Treasure Valley—and for good reason. With its small-town charm, upscale neighborhoods, and stunning natural scenery, Eagle is a prime choice for buyers relocating from areas like California and looking for more space, beauty, and peace of mind.

If your budget falls between $900,000 and $1.1 million, you’ll find some incredible homes—but there are a few key trade-offs to consider depending on what you value most: space, finishes, or lifestyle.

Let’s break down what you can expect to buy in this price range, which neighborhoods to focus on, and how to choose between subdivision homes and acreage properties.

🔍 What to Expect in This Price Range

Most homes between $900K and $1.1M in Eagle fall into two categories:

1. Subdivision Homes – Larger homes (3,000–4,000+ sq ft) with luxury finishes on smaller, low-maintenance lots (0.2–0.3 acres).

2. Acreage Homes – Homes on 1–2 acres with more privacy, but typically smaller (2,500–3,000 sq ft) and sometimes dated finishes.

Features You’ll Commonly See:

• 3 to 5 bedrooms, 2.5 to 4 bathrooms

• Quartz countertops, hardwood floors, spa-style primary baths

• Bonus rooms, covered patios, and 3-car garages

• Modern layouts and energy-efficient builds (especially new construction)

Homes on acreage in this range tend to be resale, not new builds—and may need updates.
