You know you are ready to become a Boise State fan. Take a look at the beautiful Treasure Valley area. What a great place to relocate or start a new business.
If you have been on the moon for the past few years and haven’t seen the Boise State Fiesta Bowl highlights, here it is.
Boise, the capital of Idaho and its largest city with a population of over 200,000, sits at the base of a mountain range on the Boise River. Boise – Les Bois or “the trees”-was named by French trappers in the 1800’s when they came into the Boise River valley.
The elevation of Boise is 2,842 feet above sea level and is considered “high desert” with temperatures ranging from an average range of 22 – 36 degrees in January to 58 to 90 degrees in July. The Boise valley receives an average of 12 inches of precipitation per year. Boise’s climate has four definite seasons but rarely receives snow. However, snow in the mountains surrounding the valley provide numerous opportunities for outdoor activities. There isn’t a better place to be a first time home buyer.
The Boise School District offers outstanding schools which serve over 25,000 students and employs 3,900 people including 1,700 certified staff. Their purpose statement – Educating Today for a Better Tomorrow – speaks to the district’s commitment to provide a quality education to all of its students.
When the first time home buyer tax credit expired, many were speculating that home buyers would stop buying or at least slow down considerably. Not if Idaho Housing Authority has their way.
IHA has just announced yet another first time home buyer program. Here are a few bullet points.
As little as $1,000 borrower investment required
Conventional loan with no Mortgage insurance required
Real Estate looks a little different today than it did 5 years ago. We’ve seen some good times and we’ve seen some not so good times in real estate but the name of the game is adapting. We can all say we specialize in something but what we need to specialize in is what our clients and prospective clients need. And when I say specialize I mean be proficient, very proficient.
In the boom years I primarily worked with buyers, that was where the demand was. As we started to see housing bust around the country and then into our Valley in force in ’07 helping folks avoid foreclosure became a real focal point. I recognized the need that was coming and started to gear up for short sales; I went straight to the bank and got their playbook – seriously… Quality of service has always been my focus. While I overhear conversations boasting of gross sales, etc. I make it my goal to have the highest close ratios for my sellers and the best possible service to my clients.
Given that short sales are still here 3 years after the first big push of the bust and that they are here to stay for a while longer the agent you work with must be proficient in them if you want a legitimate shot at selling so you can avoid foreclosure or if you are buying to take advantage of the correcting values of real estate. Better than proficient, I would want to be working with an broker that had the banks playbook. Let me know how I can help you….
Guild Mortgage of Boise Idaho announces “Home Path”. Another great Boise home loan financing program.
Home Path targets Fannie Mae (FNMA) REO properties. It allows Idaho home buyers a great opportunity to purchase the home of their dreams. A few of the high lights are
