• Home prices are soaring in Eagle. Here's the latest seven-figure milestone (idahostatesman.com) — If you own or hope to buy a home in Eagle, brace for million‑dollar price tags: November’s median sale price here hit $1.05 million, the first time typical homes crossed seven figures. Local realtors say larger lots, luxury new construction, and Eagle’s small‑town charm are drawing buyers and pushing prices far above the Ada County median.
   

• ICYMI: Boise Hunter Homes spent $30,000 on foothills trail, Ada Co. said to demolish it (boisedev.com) — Access from Dry Creek Ranch to the Ada‑Eagle Bike Park is back to square one after Ada County ordered a $30,000 temporary trail removed and reseeded. Years of stalled negotiations between Boise Hunter Homes, Ada County, and Eagle leaders mean residents and riders still lack a safe foothills connection many hoped would replace a dangerous highway crossing.
