Idaho Real Estate
You'll find what you're looking for here
I began my Real Estate career working for a major national builder - that's where my Certified New Home Sales Professional (CSP) designation comes from. By joining the active team here at Re/Max Elite Properties Boise, I expanded my business to include general real estate.. My experience includes assisting clients who have a wide range of specific needs - move ups, relocations, empty nesters, custom builds, etc. If you are selling, I'll market your home with an optimized plan for reaching that buyer who is looking for your house. If you are looking to buy a home, I'll learn from you what your "dream" house is, and then find it for you. I am looking forward to working with you.

Here's the quick-and-dirty home sales results for August. These numbers relate only to existing Single Family Homes sold in Ada County. The numbers shown are preliminary. I'll post the final numbers about the 10th or 11th of the month.
Average Price Median Price Ttl Sold
This month (Aug'10) $187,724 $159,900 400
Last month (Jul'10) $195,595 $160,000 392
Last year (Aug'09) $191,627 $169,900 511
Last 12 months $185,543 $158,742
Are we at the bottom? Should you wait longer before you buy? For what? Lower Prices? . . .Lower Rates?
Case-Shiller says there's a possibility prices (on a national average) could drop another 10%. So, that would mean that, locally, the average price could go down to $168,500 - an additional drop of $18,800.
Now, where do you assume, in the long-run, that mortgage rates will go? That's right . . .Up!
Consider this: A $200k loan at 5% for 30 years will cost you $186,510 in interest. That same loan at 6% will cost you an additional $45,165 over the life of the loan. Waiting too long, and passing up the current outrageously low mortgage rates could be the wrong strategy.
Even if prices do drop before they begin to recover, they will soon eclipse your purchase price on their way up to an ultimate rational market price. You will have purchased your house at near market-bottom pricing for an historically low interest rate, and be positioned to capture every bit of appreciation as home values ultimately return.

Why Boise Idaho
Why? Maybe it’s because residents enjoy four distinct seasons but the weather is moderate enough to allow an average of 325 golfing days a year. Or maybe it’s the low crime rate, reasonable cost of living, or the committment of corporations and individual citizens to preserving Boise’s quality of life.
