Calling all real estate investors…as you’ve heard in the media, it’s a great time to buy investments around the US. Boise, Idaho is no exception. If motivated Sellers and low interest rates weren’t enough, the prices in our market would surely attract some people. Homes in Ada County have dropped to a staggering $80/square foot in some areas, and rent prices are holding firm. Buyer confidence is not at a place where Renters(even with the assortment of incentivesand credits) are comfortable making that leap from rentership to ownership, making it a perfect time to provide housing for those people.
People continue to flock to Boise from around the globe, attracted to the 4 seasons, low cost of living, and close recreational opportunities. It continues to be a haven for people looking for a “slower pace” of life.

There are incredible short sale deals to be had in Ada County right now. Bank owned properties are at an all-time-high as well. The short sales are in every neighborhood, every price point, hitting every buyer’s ‘wish list.’ There are new short sale lists released daily by local title companies and any Realtor(R) can get a list as well(although I personally recommend using ONLY the Conklin Team, Boise’s Best Realtors :)). For a current list of short sales, banked owned properties, and the great deals offered by sellers all over the valley, email tracy@jakeconklin.com

Some people seem to think so. Ada County sales are at 279 for the month of October. Canyon County sales are at 270 for the month of October, with 10 days left to go in the month. Not bad for a market that is “in the tank” according to…well, all radio stations, news stations, and the local papers. So, what do these numbers mean to you, the consumer, the local, the buyer/seller? It means that even in our economy(which has been painted as nothing less than bleak at best by the local media), people still have jobs, banks are still lending money, and people are still buying. Consumer confidence is anticipated to return after the elections are over, as they always do. Interest rates are still at an all-time low. Tax credits, seller motivation, and homeowners exemption are just a few of the perks buyers benefit from by getting off the fence.
So, is now a good time to buy in the Treasure Valley? I’d say it’s one of the best times in recent history, contrary to what we’re constantly being fed. Jump on the bandwagon with the other 549 people in the Treasure Valley that have gotten a steal on a home and call a local realtor today(I know of a few good ones).
How’s that for a pep talk? The media(local and national) can shove it.
