Nampa · Canyon County

Where the cash-flow math still works.

The largest Canyon County submarket. Lower basis, higher cap rates, and a resilient rental base. Flip product still pencils for the 2025 market.

Redfin

Nampa is Canyon County's anchor. More working-class than Ada County, with rent-to-price ratios that routinely beat Boise by 80–120 basis points. Our SFH rental and small-multifamily flow concentrates here.

Typical

Nampa flip entry-levels run $280K–$340K with ARVs $360K–$440K. Rehab budgets pencil tighter than Boise because buyer tolerance for finish is lower, but margins hold when the basis is right. Distressed inventory flows from absentee owners more than pre-foreclosure.

Nampa

Nampa SFH rentals are the highest-cap-rate SFH product in the Treasure Valley at scale. 3BR averages run at roughly $2,000 per month as of Q1 2026, and cap rates clear 6.5–7.5% on stabilized product.

Multifamily

2–4 unit cap

Stabilized

B/C class

Nampa 2–4 unit caps run 6.0–7.0% on stabilized product. 5-to-20-unit runs 5.5–6.5% B/C. There's less institutional competition than Ada County, which means individual investors still win direct acquisitions here.

Infill & Development

Nampa's infill pipeline is underbuilt relative to Canyon County's growth. We track parcels where 2–4 unit construction pencils under current construction costs.

Land & Development

Canyon County has more buildable land inventory than Ada. Water rights and ag-to-residential conversions are a recurring conversation. We partner with local counsel on water-right transfer diligence.

Lot Splits, ADUs & Duplexes

Nampa says its codifier may not contain the latest Title 10 changes. The city-hosted compilation and Municode record also have different currency signals, so Renew Atlas does not state an exact current ADU standard until the signed ordinances are reconciled.

Idaho's 2026 ADU law is effective, but affected local plan and code amendments are due by February 1, 2027. Verify the current city process, parcel record, utilities, building requirements, and any recorded restrictions before relying on a concept.

Renew take

Nampa's $418K median anchors Canyon County. Flip entries run $280-340K with ARVs $360-440K. Insurance is the watch-item. Canyon carriers re-rated for older stock through 2024-25.

What to watch

Insurance carrier re-rating: when claims-history premium increases hit 15%+ on Canyon SFH, flip OpEx assumptions need updating.
