Where Are All Our Starter Homes?

When you think of the American Dream — the house with the picket fence and a yard — you’re probably imagining a nice but modest 2-bedroom starter home that's affordable for a young family. But today on the show, Idaho Statesman reporter Paul Schwedelson joins Frankie Barnhill to talk about why you’re not seeing enough of these kinds of homes on your Zillow search. We also talk about how the recent dip in home prices is affecting the market, and why new construction is slowing down.  Also, meet our new City Cast Boise Host, Emma Arnold! You’ll start to hear her voice more and more in the coming days.  Want some more Boise news? Head over to our newsletter where you’ll get a cheatsheet to the city every weekday morning.
