Idaho Real Estate

MERIDIAN, Ida. - Meridian REALTOR® John Espinosa sees foreclosure inventory of bank owned homes likely continuing to bring out bargain hunters through 2012, bringing with it exceptional prices.

Depending on what economic policies the federal government adopts, Espinosa says Idaho real estate buyers will likely see continued low interest rates through this election year as an attempt by Washington policy-makers to stimulate the economy.

"The combination of low rates and the steady drip of bank owned homes into the market means continued low prices for buyers who are ready to dip their feet in the market again."

MERIDIAN, Ida. - Don Wixom, broker/owner of RE/MAX Advantage in Nampa, Idaho, says that Meridian market continues to maintain the lowest vacancy rates for pre-existing homes in the Treasure Valley. He says this is a testament to Meridian's strength as a place to buy, and is due to a number of factors affecting the Idaho real estate market.

Wixom says that some of the more popular subdivisions in many price ranges are in Meridian, making Meridian more attractive to a wider set of buyers.

"Meridian subdivisions tend to be newer than those in other parts of the Treasure Valley. Schools are great, and amenities like shopping and freeway access are great as well."

He says that the benefits Meridian has going for it mean buyers will pay a little more to live there, but property values have also been much more stable in Meridian than elsewhere.

"Meridian real estate offers a level of safety for home buyers that other areas don't always have, simply because it's more in demand."

Nampa, ID - As many real estate agents are cutting their marketing budgets, Idaho REALTOR® Don Wixom is going the extra mile to market his clients' listings in this tough market with a fully wrapped Honda CR-Z that has already turned heads around town.

Wixom, who already stands out online for his top Google-ranking website selling Idaho real estate, www.sellidaho.com, is one of the most visible agents on the road with his brightly colored Honda CR-Z.

"This car is a load of fun to drive, but the really great thing for my clients is that it is memorable. I get all sorts of comments from people who see me on the road, and of course, the car is emblazoned with my website and the RE/MAX Brand."

Wixom has always gravitated toward unconventional marketing techniques, so this fits his personality well. And with fuel prices being what they are, having an economy car to show homes all over the Treasure Valley, whether it's Boise real estate or Caldwell real estate, just makes sense.

Meridian, ID – For pastors, lower prices for real estate have been truly a blessing, allowing some to buy a home for the first time, according to Meridian real estate agent John Espinosa.

Espinosa, who comes from a family deeply involved in Christian ministry, says that the economic downturn has hurt a lot of charitable organizations, to be sure. But he says that ministers who have a steady income, however sparse, can often afford to buy a home now, whereas before they couldn't.

"In the past, incomes were an issue, of course; everyone knows your average pastor doesn't make a lot of money. The biggest problem in the way of home ownership, however, was high real estate prices, and now that they've come down a bit, we're seeing more pastors able to afford to buy a home."
