Burley: a sugar-beet town on the south bank of the Snake

In 1905, I.B. Perrine and five partners platted a town on the south bank of the Snake River. David E. Burley, an Oregon Short Line passenger agent, had promoted the area's potential for growing sugar beets, and the town became known as Burley. Burley incorporated in 1909 and became the Cassia County seat in 1918, and part of the city now extends into Minidoka County. Nearly two-thirds of its housing went up before 1980, so many homes for sale today are 50 years old or more.

Buy My House buys Burley houses as-is. We'll come out for a walkthrough, then give you a written cash offer, which our website says typically comes within 24 hours of that visit. You're free to say no. If you say yes, pick the closing date that works for you. Burley owners don't pay a commission, and the routine closing fees are covered on our end.

Burley's housing in numbers

Sources are the Census Bureau's 2024 city estimates, with housing detail from the five-year ACS covering 2020 to 2024.

• Population: 12,211 in 2024, about 4% more than the 2020 base of 11,726.
• Mostly pre-1980: The median year built is 1972. About 65% of homes were built before 1980, a third before 1960, and about 14% before 1940.
• Very little new building: Only about 17% of units were built in 2000 or later, lower than Twin Falls, Jerome or Blackfoot.
• Housing types: About 72% detached single-family, with mobile homes around 5.5%.
• Owners and renters: About 61% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so roughly two in five are rented.
• Home value: Burley's ACS median for owner-occupied homes is $231,300, give or take about $16,000, averaged over five years. It's not a price for any specific home.
• Commute: Only about 13% of Burley workers have a commute of half an hour or longer.

What matters when selling in Burley

Age-related repairs. Burley's housing is about as old as Blackfoot's or Pocatello's, measured by median year built. Common issues include original wiring and plumbing, older roofs, basements with past water problems, and windows that never got upgraded. We take all that into account and don't ask you to fix anything.

Rentals. With roughly two in five occupied homes rented, a fair share of Burley sellers own rental houses. Rental properties are something we buy.

Flood risk is mostly near the river. Burley's 2020 transportation plan, citing the city's flood map, says most of the city is in minimal-flood-risk zones, with the exception of areas right next to the Snake River. If your property is near the water, confirm the current zone on FEMA's maps.

Two counties. Because Burley spans Cassia and Minidoka counties, your assessor, treasurer and recording office depend on where the parcel sits. Idaho taxes follow the same split schedule everywhere: the first half is due December 20, the second June 20.

Estates. Some long-held Burley homes are sold by heirs. Some sales by personal representatives or trustees don't require Idaho's seller disclosure form (Idaho Code §55-2505). The estate's lawyer can confirm.
