What Makes This Home Stand Out
- Built in 2024, this is a true like new home in Hartland, without the wait or the uncertainty of building from the ground up.
- About $13,000 in upgrades have been added since the home was built, and the sellers report it shows in excellent, move in ready condition.
- Priced at what the sellers paid two years ago, with no markup added. This is not a home priced to chase a profit, it is priced to sell.
- The sellers are ready to close quickly, including an early close if that fits your timeline.
- A 34 foot deep RV bay, a real standout in this price range. There is genuine room here for an RV, a boat, or a serious amount of shop and storage space.
- 2,841 square feet of living space, notably larger than the typical 1,840 to 2,941 square foot range for homes in this community.
- Four bedrooms and three bathrooms, giving a growing household or frequent guests real breathing room.
- Part of the Hartland community, a newer neighborhood at Northside Boulevard and Ustick Road with two parks and pickleball courts on site.
- Surrounded by farmland and less than ten miles from Lake Lowell, for buyers who want newer construction without losing that open, rural feeling.
- Zoned for Vallivue School District, with East Canyon Elementary about a half mile away.
Description written in Anna’s own words, combining details from Anna directly with public listing data for MLS #98996237. Upgrade costs, condition, price history, and closing flexibility are as reported by the sellers through Anna, and buyers should still complete their own inspection and verify anything that matters to their decision. Square footage and lot size are estimates.

How This Home Stacks Up
I checked the other homes for sale in Hartland and calculated price per square foot for each one I could confirm full details on, plus one recently sold home on the same street for extra context.
| Address | Price | Beds / Baths | Sq Ft | Price / Sq Ft | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8809 E Daffodil St (this home) | $699,900 | 4 / 3 | 2,841 | $246.36 | Active |
| 18207 N Begonia Way | $699,900 | 3 / 2.5 | 2,434 | $287.55 | Active |
| 8794 E Daffodil St | $550,000 | 3 / 2 | 1,853 | $296.82 | Sold 5/22/26 |
Price per square foot is list price or sold price divided by finished square footage, using each listing’s own reported numbers. 18207 N Begonia Way is a former model home, currently active. 8794 E Daffodil St is a recently sold home on the same street, shown for context, not as an active comp. A third active Hartland listing, 18399 N Moon Flower Ave, is also on the market at $699,900 but public sources did not list a confirmed square footage for it, so it is left out of this table rather than estimated. Separately, public data for the Hartland neighborhood as a whole shows 24 active listings with an average price of $281.67 per square foot. All figures current as of September 2, 2026, and can change at any time. Source: public listing data and MLS #98996237.
Is This Home Priced Well
Here is my professional read based on the information available for today’s open house. It is not an appraisal or a guarantee of value. On a price per square foot basis, this home looks like a genuinely good value inside Hartland. It runs $246.36 per square foot, compared to $287.55 per square foot for the other confirmed active listing and $296.82 per square foot for the most recent sale on the same street. It is also priced below the neighborhood’s overall average of $281.67 per square foot across all 24 active Hartland listings.
The most likely reason is size. At 2,841 square feet, this home is larger than the typical 1,840 to 2,941 square foot range for Hartland, and buyers often pay a bit less per square foot as homes get bigger, since a large kitchen or a primary suite does not double in size just because the home does. The 34 foot RV bay is also a real, tangible value add that a straight price per square foot comparison does not fully capture.
There is also a real, non market reason this home is priced where it is. The sellers told me directly that they are asking the same price they paid for the home two years ago, with no markup. They are not trying to profit on the sale, they simply need to sell, and they are ready to close quickly, including an early close if that helps a buyer’s timeline. That combination, a lower price-per-square-foot position within the comparison set plus reported seller flexibility on timing, is worth evaluating carefully.
For a buyer prioritizing newer construction, substantial storage or RV-bay depth, and more interior space within Hartland, this home deserves a close comparison against the current alternatives. I would still recommend a full inspection, even with about $13,000 in recent upgrades and a report of excellent condition, since only a professional inspection can confirm the home’s true condition.
This is Anna’s professional market commentary based on the property information and comparison data assembled for this open house. It is not an appraisal, legal advice, or a guarantee of value or negotiation outcome. Buyers should independently verify material facts and make offer decisions based on their own goals, financing, inspections, and due diligence.
Living In Hartland
Hartland sits at the northeast corner of Northside Boulevard and Ustick Road in Nampa. It is a newer community, built starting around 2020, with about 158 total home lots spread across roughly 53 acres. Lot sizes range from about a fifth of an acre up to over two thirds of an acre, and lot widths of 65 to 80 feet mean most homes here can fit a 3 car garage, which this home does with room to spare thanks to its RV bay.
Amenities: two community parks and pickleball courts are part of Hartland itself. The neighborhood is surrounded by working farmland and sits less than ten miles from Lake Lowell, which gives it a more open, rural feel than many newer Treasure Valley subdivisions.
Community life: residents describe Hartland as having real community spirit, with a classic car night and a weekly food truck that visits every Tuesday through the summer months. The neighborhood also has a patriotic streak, with residents turning out for holidays like the Fourth of July.
HOA: public sources disagree slightly on the one time setup or transfer fee for this HOA, with figures of both $200 and $400 showing up. Annual dues are consistently reported at $400. Please confirm the exact current transfer fee and everything the HOA covers directly with the HOA or the CC&Rs before closing.
Community events are reported by Anna based on what residents and neighbors have shared, not from an official HOA calendar, so please confirm the current schedule before making plans around it. Community offerings like a seasonal food truck and neighborhood events can change from year to year.
Schools Serving This Address
This home is zoned for Vallivue School District: East Canyon Elementary, Sage Valley Middle School, and Ridgevue High School. School boundaries can change, so families should always confirm current attendance zones directly with Vallivue School District before relying on this for a purchase decision.

| Sage Valley Middle School | Middle | About 1.6 mi | B− |

How To Win In Today’s Market
Every market and every seller situation is different, and I never promise a specific outcome. In general, here is how I coach my buyers to think through an offer on a home like this one:
- Get preapproved before you fall in love with a home. A real preapproval letter, not just a prequalification, gives your offer credibility and tells you your true price range.
- Understand what makes this home different. The larger square footage and the RV bay are genuine value adds. Knowing what you are actually paying for helps you offer with confidence instead of guessing.
- Decide your must haves versus your nice to haves before we write anything, so we can move quickly and confidently once we find the right terms.
- Keep your inspection contingency unless you fully understand what you are giving up by waiving it, especially important on a newer build where a few things may still need to be worked out with the builder.
- Build in your earnest money decision with eyes open. Earnest money is generally credited back to you at closing, but it can be at risk depending on the contract terms and which contingencies you keep or waive. We will go through this line by line.
- Let’s talk before you submit anything. I will help you weigh price, terms, timeline, and contingencies together, not price alone.
This is general strategy education, not a guarantee that any particular offer will be accepted, or that financing, appraisal, or inspection outcomes will go a certain way.
What It Actually Costs Each Month
This gives you an estimate only. Your actual payment depends on your lender, your credit, your loan program, and your final rate. Always confirm real numbers with your lender.
Estimate only. Does not include private mortgage insurance if your down payment is under 20 percent, which your lender will calculate separately. The property tax figure above is a rough planning estimate, not a copy of the actual county tax bill. Because this home was built in 2024, its assessed value and tax bill may be reassessed after sale, ask the title company or the Canyon County Assessor for the real current number. Homeowners insurance is also an estimate, ask your insurance agent for an exact quote.
Closing Costs, Estimated
Idaho buyers typically pay somewhere around 2 to 3 percent of the purchase price in closing costs, though it can run higher depending on your loan program and lender. Idaho does not charge a state or county real estate transfer tax, which helps keep this number lower than in some other states.
Ways To Reduce What You Bring
Ask about lender credits, compare Loan Estimates from more than one lender, and ask whether the seller will contribute toward your closing costs as part of your offer. The category breakdown above is a typical allocation for illustration only, actual costs vary by lender, title company, and loan program.
Ask your lender for a real Loan Estimate once you are under contract.
How Closing Actually Works
- Offer accepted. Once the seller accepts your offer, the contract goes to escrow and your earnest money is deposited.
- Inspections. You schedule your home inspection and any specialist inspections within your contract’s timeline, and we negotiate any repairs or credits that come up.
- Loan application and appraisal. Your lender orders the appraisal and works through underwriting. This is when your loan officer will need updated documents from you quickly.
- Title work. The title company searches the property’s history and prepares title insurance to protect you.
- Final loan approval, or “clear to close.” Your lender confirms your loan is fully approved and tells you your final numbers.
- Final walkthrough. We walk the home together shortly before closing to confirm its condition matches what you agreed to.
- Closing and keys. You sign your closing documents, your funds are wired or delivered, and once it records, the home is yours.
This is a general outline. Your actual timeline and exact steps depend on your contract terms, your lender, and title company, and can vary. Your lender and title company can give you exact dates once you are under contract.
What Can You Comfortably Afford
Lenders commonly use the 28/36 rule as a starting guideline: your housing payment should generally stay at or below 28 percent of your gross monthly income, and your total debt payments, housing included, should generally stay at or below 36 percent. This is a general guideline, not a guarantee of what any specific lender will approve for you.
Some loan programs allow higher ratios with strong credit or a larger down payment. This is a planning guideline, not a mortgage preapproval. Your real qualifying amount depends on your credit, assets, loan program, and your lender’s specific guidelines. Always confirm your real numbers with a licensed lender before making offer decisions.
Financing And Down Payment Help
Idaho Housing (IHFA) Down Payment Assistance
Idaho Housing and Finance Association offers down payment and closing cost assistance of up to 8 percent of the home’s sales price, structured as a second mortgage with a small monthly payment. Some programs allow you to put in as little as $500 of your own money. Household income generally needs to be at or below $170,000, though some specific loan programs have lower limits. Completing Idaho Housing’s “Finally Home!” homebuyer education course is required to qualify. This is available to eligible Idaho homebuyers generally, not only first time buyers.
Source: Idaho Housing and Finance Association. Terms, income limits, and availability can change, confirm current details with IHFA or your lender before relying on them. These income targeted programs are most useful for moderate income buyers and may not apply to every price point.
Other Local Programs
Some Idaho cities and counties offer their own local down payment assistance on top of IHFA’s statewide program, and availability changes over time. I was not able to confirm a current, active City of Nampa or Canyon County specific program for this property as of this writing. Ask your lender to check for any current local programs you may qualify for in addition to IHFA.

Why Have Your Own Agent Here Today
I want to be completely clear about my role at this open house. The seller of this home has their own listing agent, who represents the seller’s interests in this transaction. That agent is not present today.
I am hosting this open house as a courtesy to my colleague, and I work as a buyer’s agent. Simply touring this home with me today, or asking me questions, does not create any agency relationship or obligation between us. If you would like me to represent you as your buyer’s agent, on this home or any other, we can talk about what that means and how it works.
If you are already working with another real estate agent, please let me know so I can be respectful of that relationship.
Questions Buyers Ask About Hartland
No. It is a standard single family subdivision in north Nampa, open to all buyers, with an HOA that covers common community items like the parks and pickleball courts.
Hartland has multiple builders working in the community rather than one exclusive builder. I do not have confirmed builder or warranty information for this specific home yet. Ask me and I will find out, or we can confirm it together during a showing.
Annual dues are reported at $400. Sources disagree on the exact one time transfer fee, either $200 or $400, so please confirm the current fee and exactly what is included with the HOA or the community’s CC&Rs before closing.
Hartland has multiple builders and floor plans, so home sizes vary more than in a single builder community. This home’s 2,841 square feet, plus its 34 foot RV bay, put it toward the larger end of what is currently available here.
Earnest money is generally credited toward your purchase at closing, but whether it is refundable if you back out depends on the specific contract terms and which contingencies are in place. We will go over this together before you submit any offer.
You are not required to use a buyer’s agent, but dedicated representation gives you someone focused on your interests, including contract review, inspection coordination, negotiation, timelines, and transaction strategy. Buyer-agent compensation is negotiable and should be addressed in your written representation agreement and the terms of the specific transaction.
It depends on your loan program, down payment, and closing costs. Use the calculators above for an estimate, and I can walk you through real numbers once we know your loan program.
Vallivue School District, zoned for East Canyon Elementary, Sage Valley Middle School, and Ridgevue High School. Always confirm current boundaries directly with the district.
